This research aims to determine the extent of technology readiness of business professors in selected La Sallian schools, and whether there is a relationship between several variables to their overall technology readiness. Since, technology has affected the level of understanding of the students, and so it is necessary to create a study on the professors if they are willing to use new technology in teaching. Business professors from De La Salle University, De La Salle University Dasmarinas, and De La Salle College of St. Benilde were chosen as respondents for this study. The respondents were asked to answer a survey which contained the Technology Readiness Index instrument by A. Parasuraman and Rockbridge Associates. Mean scores of optimism, innovativeness, insecurity, discomfort, and overall technology readiness were computed. After which, Pearsons correlation test and a 1 tailed test were administered to the demographics, such as age, educational attainment, years of teaching status, technology ownership and years of technology usage, and to the overall technology readiness scores. The significance value was set at 95%. Based on the data, it was discovered that the business professors have done average scores in the four dimensions and only average scores in overall technology readiness. Finally, it was determined that there is no significant relationship between the demographics and the overall technology readiness scores.
