“…However, recent developments in technology and social networking on the Internet allow shoppers to simulate the social element of buying in an online context and, therefore, can motivate them to buy online. With respect to computer anxiety, some studies find computer anxiety to be high among women (Igbaria and Chakrabarti, 1990), whereas others show no gender differences (Parasuraman and Igbaria, 1990. Given the above considerations, it is hypothesized that gender will have no significant influence on online spending (H1).…”

a b s t r a c tThe paper tests the influence of adoption time, online time, usage variety, and privacy concern on online spending. Findings support the hypothesis that online time, adoption time, and usage variety, the three dimensions of Internet usage experience, have a positive and significant influence on the amount of money consumers spend online, and privacy concern has a negative and significant influence. The control variables included in the model are gender, age, education, and income. Gender, age, and education did not influence online spending. However, income has a significant effect on online spending. Theoretical and strategic implications and recommendations for future research are presented.

“…Computer anxiety relates to users' general perception of computer usage (Venkatesh 2000). A significant body of research in IS and psychology has shown the relevance of computer anxiety by demonstrating its impact on attitudes (e.g., Howard and Smith 1986;Igbaria and Chakrabarti 1990;Igbaria and Parasuraman 1989;Morrow et al 1986;Parasuraman and Igbaria 1990). Although anxiety has been researched extensively in the IS and psychology literature, its role as a determinant of individual attitudes in the context of eGov adoption has not yet been investigated.…”

Citizens’ adoption of an electronic government system: towards a unified view

et al. 2015

Sluggish adoption of emerging electronic government (eGov) applications continues to be a problem across developed and developing countries. This research tested the nine alternative theoretical models of technology adoption in the context of an eGov system using data collected from citizens of four selected districts in the state of Bihar in India. Analysis of the models indicates that their performance is not up to the expected level in terms of path coefficients, variance in behavioural intention, or the fit indices of the models. In response to the underperformance of the alternative theoretical models to explain the adoption of an eGov system, this research develops a unified model of electronic government adoption and tests it using the same data. The results indicate that the proposed research model outperforms all alternative models of technology adoption by explaining 77 % of variance in behavioural intention, with acceptable values of fit indices and significant relationships between each pair of hypothesised factors.

“…Some researchers have found that the analyses based on the age criterion show that lower levels of anxiety are present in the case of young people (Chua et al, 1999;Kubiatko, Hal akov a, Nagyov a, & Nagy, 2011;Parasuraman & Igbaria, 1990), but other studies have not found a relationship between age and computer anxiety in the case of university students. We also found the idea that the adults' difficulty of learning using the computer is rather a myth supported by daily life anecdotes and not by empirical evidence (Yan & Fischer, 2004).…”
