Predictors of E-Participation Levels: The Case of Jordan (original) (raw)
2015, The 7th International Conference on Information Technology
According to the revolutionary advancement in information and communication technologies, citizens are becoming more open-minded, ambitious, aware of technology capabilities, and empowered enough to participate in the decision making process. Citizens are motivated to be an active part in the political process and they are encouraged to be involved in order to have collected feedback from them for the social and political reform process. This study tried to explore the factors influencing the level of electronic participation (e-participation) within an e-government context. Ease of use, infrastructure readiness, cost, and relative advantage are factors hypothesized to have an impact on participation success. The results supported the influence of three predictors (ease of use, cost, and relative advantage) in their effect on participation levels. Only infrastructure readiness was not significant in predicting participation levels. Conclusion and future work are discussed later in the paper.
