Abstract:Performing daily activities in SMEs requires the effective utilization of existing technologies. In developing countries, SMEs play great roles in stimulating economies as well as the creation of employees. One of the technologies which are mainly relied upon by the employees of SMEs is mobile phone technology due to the low readiness in desktop computing. Literature has provided insights on the factors which influence the successful use of mobile phone technology and various recommendations were presented whi… Show more
“…If citizens are able to obtain and apply important data via several websites and platforms, they will perceive e-government as beneficial and time-saving. It implies that a positive correlation between perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use is expected [10], [11].…”

E-government is the process of delivering government services through electronic media or platforms. It provides alternative options for offering services with minimal need for physical contact. The acceptance of E-government practices and tools is influenced by factors as explained by prominent models such as TAM, UTAUT and TRA. This research involves empirical evidence from the Tanzanian context to examine the influence of collaboration on citizens’ intention to use e-government systems. The conceptual framework was formulated by extending TAM with collaboration. The research employs a survey of 203 respondents followed by analysis using Smart PLS 4. The conceptual framework was developed by extending the Technology Acceptance Model with E-government collaboration before testing it in a survey. The results show that the collaboration has a significant influence on perceived usefulness. Among others, this research provides theoretical underpinnings to the acceptance of technologies and areas for future research and policy implications.
