This study aimed at assessing the direct and indirect influence of behavioral intention on academic performance through use behavior of e-learning system of students in higher learning institutions in Tanzania. The study used an explanatory cross-sectional survey research design and a stratified sampling technique to select a sample of 312 respondents. A questionnaire with closed ended questions was used for data collection and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling with the help of SmartPLS 4 software for analysis. The findings reveal that behavioral intention has positive and indirect influence on academic performance (p value<0.05) through use behavior of e-learning system. The study concludes that academic performance of students in higher learning institutions depends indirectly on behavioral intention of students to use e-Learning System. Also, it depends directly on use behavior of e-Learning System. It is therefore recommended that in developing countries, Tanzania in particular should consider the behavioral intention and use behavior of students during and after implementation of the new e-Learning system.
