موجز عن البحث:

E-Government increases transparency and im-proves communication between the government and the users. Providing e-Government services to business sector is a fun-damental mission of governmental agencies in Saudi Arabia. However, the adoption of e-Government systems is less than satisfactory in many countries, particularly in developing coun-tries. This is a significant factor that can lead to e-Government failure and, therefore, to the waste of budget and effort. One pertinent, unanswered question is what are the key factors that influence the adoption and utilisation level of users from business sector. Unlike much research in the literature that has utilised common technology acceptance models and theories to analyse the adoption of e-Government, which may not be sufficient for such analysis, this study proposes a conceptual framework following a holistic approach to analyse key factors that influence the adoption and utilisation of e-Government in Saudi Arabia. The developed framework, E-Government Adoption and Utilisation Model (EGAUM), was developed based on critical evaluation of several common models and theories related to technology acceptance and use including Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), in conjunction with analysis of e-Government adoption literature. The study involved 48 participating business entities from two major cities in Saudi Arabia, Riyadh and Jeddah. The descriptive and statistical analyses are presented in this paper and the results indicated that all the proposed factors have degree of influence on the adoption and utilisation level. Perceived Benefits, Awareness, Previous Experience, and Regulations & Policies were found to be the significant factors that are most likely to influence the adoption and usage level of users from business sector. – See more at: Click here

Towards a Comprehensive Model for E-Government Adoption and Utilisation Analysis: The Case of Saudi Arabia

ملخص المشاركة:

E-Government increases transparency and improves communication between the government and the users. However, users’ adoption and usage is less than satisfactory in many countries, particularly in developing countries. This is a significant factor that can lead to e-Government failure and, therefore, to the waste of budget and effort. Unlike much research in the literature that has utilised common technology acceptance models and theories to analyse the adoption of e-Government, which may not be applicable for e-Government acceptance analysis, this study proposes a more comprehensive and appropriate framework for analysing the significant factors that could influence the adoption and utilisation of e-Government in Saudi Arabia, as this is becoming a necessity.

Exploring determinants of adoption and higher utilisation for e-Government: A study from business sector perspective in Saudi Arabia

ملخص المشاركة:

Providing e-Government services to business sector is a fundamental mission of governmental agencies in Saudi Arabia. The adoption of e-Government systems is less than satisfactory in many countries, particularly in developing countries. One pertinent, unanswered question is what are the key factors that influence the adoption and utilisation level of users from business sector. This paper utilised e-Government Adoption and Utilisation Model (EGAUM) proposed in our previous work in order to analyse determinants of higher level of e-Government adoption and usage. The study involved 48 participating business entities from two major cities in Saudi Arabia, Riyadh and Jeddah. The descriptive analysis is presented in this paper and the results indicated that all the proposed factors have degree of influence on the adoption and utilisation level. Perceived Benefits, Functional Quality of Service, Previous Experience, Perceived Simplicity, Accessibility and Regulations & Policies factors were found to be the significant factors that are most likely to influence the adoption and usage level of users from business sector.

Key Factors Influencing the Adoption and Utilisation of E-Government in Saudi Arabia

ملخص المشاركة:

E-Government increases transparency and improves communication between the government and the users. However, users’ adoption and usage is less than satisfactory in many countries, particularly in developing countries. This is a significant factor that can lead to e-Government failure and, therefore, to the waste of budget and effort. Unlike much research in the literature that has utilised common technology acceptance models and theories to analyse the adoption of e-Government, which may not be applicable for e-Government acceptance analysis, this research proposes a more comprehensive and appropriate framework called E-Government Adoption and Utilisation Model (EGAUM) for analysing the significant factors that could influence the adoption and utilisation of e-Government in Saudi Arabia, as this is becoming a necessity. EGAUM was developed based on a critical analysis of the literature on e-Government adoption, in conjunction with insights from several models and theories that are commonly used to analyse the acceptance and usage of technologies including Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) and Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT).
