“…Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is popular among researchers and it has been increased the usage in many research areas; for example, psychology, sociology, education, political science and economic [46][47][48]. The goal of the SEM approach is to test the structural relationships which hypothesized with existing theories and findings.…”

improvements will cause to attract and retain users for continuous use. Given the aforementioned evidences, the scope of this paper is to find an answer to the following research question. Research questionDoes national culture make impact on the use of e-government services in Sri Lanka?The rest of the paper is compiled as follows. The brief explanation on the background of the study and literature evidences are presented in section two, followed by the theoretical framework and the research model in section three. Research methodology and analysis is discussed in section four while section five is devoted to present the research results and discussion. Conclusion of the research, limitations and future research direction are brought in section six and seven. Background and Literature EvidencesApart from technical and management related factors, human factors which are related to cultural and social elements in developing countries are very much important for user behavioral decisions on the adoption and use of e-government services. Negligence of cultural traits will be acted as hindrances for adoption and use of new technological systems [10]. Hence, non-technological factors are very much important. However, few studies have been explored about the cultural influence on the adoption and use of e-government services [10,11]. Thus, culture makes remarkable influence on the acceptance and adoption of new technologies such as e-government services [14][15][16].Keywords: e-Government; Technology acceptance model; National culture; Structural equation modeling; Sri Lanka Introduction E-government means utilizing ICT facilities available in internet and web based technologies to offer government services to general public as well as to improve the government services [1][2][3]. To proper function the e-government initiatives, there should be IT savvy culture within government organizations as well as among the general public. Most of the governments around the world still are confronting the issues with regard to acceptance, adoption and use of e-government services regardless of the possible benefits of vast e-government projects [4][5][6] because issues are multi-dimensional in nature. The core issues of the e-government domain are from social side (user's demand) not from technical side [7]. Even though, some issues have been examined much more, still there are some other aspects which are yet to be explored [8]. These issues must be addressed not only from technical perspective but also social and cultural perspective [5]. The importance of culture for technology adoption and use in particular for the e-government services has been pointed out in prior studies [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Culture represents how social groups interact with each other and how distinguishes societies, institutes, professions or even countries. At the same time, culture explains how people in social groups interact with new technological innovations. However, it has not been paid much more attention regarding this particular fa...

“…Each construct in a model is measured by a set of observed variables. A key feature of CFA models is that no specific directional relationships are assumed between the constructs as they are correlated with each other only [25]. Finally, SEM was conducted and compared the traditionally reported fit indexes if they were within the acceptable range [12].…”

Firms need ambidextrous marketing functions which is being capable of exploitation and exploration of markets. In this research, impact of ambidextrous marketing on market performance and financial peformance is revealed using Structural Equation Model (SEM). Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) operating in information technology have been selected. For this reason, sample of the study was collected via questionnaire through 392 SME's managers and owners. According to the results of the model; marketing exploitation has significant and positive direct effect on market performance while marketing exploration has significant and positive effects on market and financial performance. When dependent variables are examined, it is revealed that market performance has significant and positive direct effect on financial performance. As a result, it is demonstrated that ambidextrous marketing has impact on market and financial peformance.

“…The test of mediator with goodness of fit measures such as χ 2 , Comparative Fit Index (CFI), Incremental Fit Index (IFI), Tucker-Lewis Coefficient (TLI) and Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) and path line demonstration were supplemented by descriptive statistics and correlation matrix. For the purpose of data analysis, Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20 with add-on AMOS 23 was employed [59,62,63]. Moreover, the relationship between variables has been outlined in the following hypothetical model (Figure 1).…”

Testing the indirect effect of psychopathic personality towards recidivism has been one of the overlooked areas within criminological studies. Based on this fact, the current study articulated the mediated effect of psychopathic personality towards recidivism against criminality attitude, knowledge on criminality, prison syndrome, social exclusion, peer influence and drug abuse as premeditated factors. One-hundred and ninety-six adult offenders with repeated criminal records since three years later participated in the semi-structured interview. Structural Equation Modelling conferred drug abuse, associate influence, and social exclusions had indirect effect on recidivism through psychopathic personality. Yet, knowledge on criminality and drug abuse was partially mediated by psychopathic personality. Implications for crime prevention and reduction are discussed from the lens of policy and practice strategies.
