“…Respondents were requested to state their level of agreement with each item on a 7-point Likert scale, where 1 indicated 'very strongly disagree' and 7 meant 'very strongly agree' (Al-Gahtani et al 2007). The survey questionnaire contained a total of 69 items, of which 59 (see Appendix 1) were related to aspects of the selected constructs and the remaining ten explored the demographic characteristics of the respondents.…”

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.

“…Most research suggests that norms have a fleeting effect (e.g., Stafford & Turan, 2011). Over time, social norms diminish in importance (or become not at all related to) the intention to use technology (i.e., once an individual forms a judgment about the effectiveness and effort of using a technology, the social norms of those around the individual have little influence except perhaps for some demographic groups such as older women) (Al-Gahtani, Hubona, & Wang, 2007;Bhattacherjee, 2000;Brown, Dennis, & Venkatesh, 2010;Gallivan et al, 2005;Hong, Thong, Chasalow, & Dhillon, 2011;Tan & Teo, 2000;Venkatesh & Davis, 2000;Venkatesh et al, 2000a;Venkatesh et al, 2003;Venkatesh & Thong, 2012).…”

Abstract:In this paper, we argue that one can understand the adoption and routine use of enterprise systems by examining the fit between the system and the social structures of the organization. We develop a model of the adoption and longterm use of enterprise systems based on sociological concepts (Lord Anthony Giddens' structuration theory) rather than the usual cognitive psychology concepts. We focus on the adoption and use of three versions of an enterprise KMS to support sales representatives at a multinational pharmaceutical firm. Our first study (a five-year case study of the KMS that went through one failed deployment and two successful ones) shows that the structures of signification, legitimation, and domination all influence loyal use, although domination may be less important. Our second study (a survey of 893 users at the firm) shows that the structures of signification, legitimation, and domination explain about 50 percent of the variance in ongoing loyal use but that their relative importance depends on the job experience of the users: signification and legitimation influence novices more, and signification and domination influence experts more. We believe that this parsimonious three-factor model offers a useful approach for future research and practice.

“…According to the UTAUT model, outcome expectation has a direct effect on behavioral intention, and a Saudi study which examined acceptance of IT in both North American and Saudi societies found that outcome expectation has a positive effect on behavioral [20]. Perceived ease of use has been found plays a key role in investigating individual acceptance of a new technology [21] and [22].…”

Abstract-Knowledge sharing has been considered a significant component of success in Knowledge Management (KM). However, in most organizations KM is often inadequate when it comes to knowledge sharing. In order to encourage knowledge sharing using Web technology, it is important to know why staff do or do not use web based knowledge sharing systems (WKSS), when communicating internally and sharing knowledge via Web technology, and when and where this happens. Very few models have paid attention to examining user acceptance of omitting WKSS specifically in the academic context; therefore, the purpose of this research is to investigate the factors that affect academics' behavior in accepting the use of WKSS. The WKSS model which has been developed model, and uses as its core the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), involving performance expectancy, effort expectancy and social influences. Minor changes in these factors are adopted, to enhance our understanding of WKSS acceptance and usage and additional factors are synthesized, which are trust in the technology and time expended. User acceptance of the developed WKSS model was tested and all the factors were confirmed.
