This research aims to study factors affecting the acceptance of Microsoft Teams for blended teaching, and to explore relationships among the factors affecting the acceptance of Microsoft Teams for blended teaching among lecturers at Prince of Songkla University, Surat Thani Campus. By employing the convenience sampling method, 52 lecturers at this university were selected as participants in this study. The research instrument was a questionnaire about the acceptance of Microsoft Teams for blended teaching among lecturers at Prince of Songkla University, Surat Thani Campus. The reliability of the questionnaire was 0.86. The data were collected via a questionnaire created using Microsoft Forms through online social networking channels in the second semester of the academic year 2022. The data were analyzed using percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson’s product moment correlation coefficient to examine the relationships among the factors affecting the acceptance of Microsoft Teams for blended teaching. The findings revealed that the lecturers’ acceptance of Microsoft Teams for blended teaching was at a high level (M = 3.45). To illustrate, the lecturers’ acceptance of usefulness was at a high level (M = 3.57), followed by attitudes towards Its use (M = 3.52) and the acceptance of intention of use (M = 3.50) respectively, while the acceptance of ease of use was at a moderate level (M = 3.23).
