“…Ratten [41,42] conducted two cross-cultural comparisons in context of adoption studies based on behavioral intention of individual users, where China compared with USA and Turkey with USA respectively. The studies of CC based on the economic sector [34,38,43], investigated the decision of adoption in medical industry and [10] have focused on manufacturing and services sectors. In regard to organization size, the authors in [16,35,44] focused on small and medium size enterprises.…”

The aim of this study is examining the readiness of the Jordanian government sector to adopt cloudcomputing. The study empirically applied the TOE research framework that enables targeting IT managers and IT specialists in several Jordanian organization, where 132 respondents distributed on three subgroups were targeted. The obtained data were analyzed using Partial Least Square because of the small sample size. The result indicated that top management support, organization capability and government policy reflect the organizational readiness of government organizations to adopt cloud-computing. The multigroup analysis results revealed that Although the size of organizations varies, they have similar drivers of cloud-computing adoption. The IT-related experience has significant negative effect on intention of adoption while cloud knowledge insignificant. The study demonstrated the importance of the pre-adoption step that decision-makers should be aware of organization readiness before taking the decision of adoption, otherwise the organization will fall in cloud-computing trap. The study yielded some practical evidence, for instance, government organizational readiness will help in adopting cloud-computing appropriately to uptake its advantages; IT skills and robust IT infrastructures are both essential pillars for government organization readiness; top management support positively influences the organizational readiness and this an evidence for responsibility of top managers about success of adoption new technology; supportive government policy is substantial issue to strength government organization readiness and persuade government agencies' managers approve transforming process from old IT model into cloud-computing and allocate essential resources.

“…Several studies investigated that the innovation of cloud computing has been tested and used in different computational levels and systems which include business industries, healthcare, education, e-commerce, IT manufacturing and end users (Harfoushi et al, 2016;Hasan et al, 2015;Hayder et al, 2015;Mohamed et al, 2018). A survey conducted by Pew Research center stated that the cloud computing will be the more prevailing data hosting service for the end-users than the usual desktop computing where the data is moving to online storage systems such as iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox and SkyDrive (Anderson and Rainie, 2010;Udoh, 2010).…”

Recently, technology has witnessed a rapid progress and dominates all aspects of life systematically. Smartphones are devices that users can depend on managing and storing data. Moreover, they are used to save, update and secure the private information of users by using Cloud Storage such as iCloud, Dropbox and Google Drive. This study presents and adjusts the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) specifically, perceived ease of use, usefulness, attitude toward usage and behavioral intention. Additionally, the study used Cornbach Alpha Correlation and Regression analysis in public universities, particularly in the University of Sulaimani. The study aims to recognize the major elements that have impact on using cloud storage and to what extent the user depends on electronic devices in the academic field and to identify the factors and crucial effect on the users to use electronic device easily, improve their capability and attract to use the specific technology. The results of this study confirmed that some TAM constructs direct and indirect effect on university academics, employees and students' behavioral intention to use cloud storage (Dropbox, iCloud and Google drive). However, the results regression analysis shows whenever users used the cloud storage easily perceived usefulness decreased the performance of job consequently. On the other hand, it went up the desirability to use the specific technology and own conscious scheme to execute for future.
