Evaluating the Behavioral Intention to Use E-Government Services from Malaysian’s Perspective in Kedah State of Malaysia

The Journal of Social Sciences Research, 2018

Recognizing the importance of ICT, e-Government initiatives are rising through public organizations and public administration all over the world. Malaysia as a developing country had started implementing e-Government to improve the public services for the people. Unfortunately, public acceptance and usage towards e-Government are still very limited in most developing countries. The main purpose of this study is to investigate citizen adoption of e-government services in the northern region of Malaysia. Importantly, this study aims to develop a conceptual framework that is based on previous literature on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model, by examining the relationships between four factors (Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, and Facilitating Conditions) and Citizen adoption of e-Government services. A self-administered questionnaire was used to obtain data from 22 Malaysian citizens in the state of Kedah, Malaysia, randomly...

Behavioral Intention Towards E-Government in Malaysia

International Journal of Electronic Government Research, 2014

This study examines an amplified unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) in the context of eGovernment to get a better understanding of users' behaviour towards eGovernment. Two hundred and six respondents (206) participated in the study and the data was analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM). The study revealed that Performance Expectancy, Risk Taking Propensity, Attitude towards Computer and Web Trust dimensions are essential precursor of behavioural intention of Malaysians towards eGovernment. The study further suggests that policy-makers can increase eGovernment usage by creating applications that meets expected demands and needs of the people with provision of trust facilitating environment and security conditioned systems.

The results from this study are useful for Malaysian government in formulating appropriate strategies to improve the adoption of e-government applications in Malaysia.

An Exploratory study of proposed factors to Adopt e-government Services

International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications

this paper discusses e-government, in particular the challenges that face adoption of e-government in Saudi Arabia. In this research we define e-government as a matrix of stakeholders: governments to governments, governments to business and governments to citizens, using information and communications technology to deliver and consume services. egovernment services still face many challenges in their implementation and general adoption in many countries including Saudi Arabia. In addition, the background and the discussion identify the influential factors that affect the citizens' intention to adopt e-government services in Saudi Arabia. Consequently, these factors have been defined and categorized followed by an exploratory study to examine the importance of these factors. Therefore, this research has identified factors that determine if the citizen will adopt e-government services and thereby aiding governments in accessing what is required to increase adoption.

Factors for Successful e-Government Adoption: a Conceptual Framework

Canada has been the world's leader in e-Government maturity for the last five years. The global average for government website usage by citizens is about 30%. In Canada, this statistic is over 51%. The vast majority of Canadians visit government websites to obtain information, rather than interacting or transacting with the government. It seems that the rate of adoption of e-Government has globally fallen below expectations although some countries are doing better than others. Clearly, a better understanding of why and how citizens use government websites, and their general dispositions towards e-Government is an important research issue. This paper initiates discussion of this issue by proposing a conceptual model of e-Government adoption that places users as the focal point for e-Government adoption strategy.

THE CRITICAL FACTORS AFFECTING E-GOVERNMENT ADOPTION

lectronic government (e-government) has established as an effective mechanism for increasing government productivity and efficiency and a key enabler of citizencentric services. However, e-government implementation is surrounded by technological, governing and social issues, which have to be considered and treated carefully in order to facilitate this change. This research attempts to explore and investigate the key challenges that influence e-government implementation and the factors influencing citizen adoption in Vietnam. It develops a conceptual framework on the basis of existing experiences drawn from administrative reforms. Survey data from public employee will be used to test the proposed hypothesis and the model. Therefore, this research has identified factors that determine if the citizen will adopt E-government services and thereby aiding governments in accessing what is required to increase adoption. We will also highlight several research, practitioner and policy implications. periods); one invested by the State budget (a part of the national IT program, period 1996IT program, period -1998; and the other under the Prime Minister's Decision in 1997. However, the achievements were still very limited. Going along with the new trend of e-Government in the world, in 2001 the Vietnam government decided to start the new project (Project 112) which was considered as the milestone for e-Government in Vietnam. Unfortunately, in April 2007 Project 112 was halted. Start the year 2007, a grand scheme named "ICT development in Vietnam "by the Ministry of Information and Communication implementation (2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013) and the results are not as expected. Indeed, this phenomenon has not only occurred in Vietnam. The chief information expert of the World Bank indicated that "among the e-Government projects in developing countries, according to estimation, 35 totally failed, and 50 partially failed. Only 15 can be considered completely successful" . Obviously the benefits of e-Government (i.e. transference, efficiency, participant as defined by OECD,2003) could not be delivered to its stakeholders if the failure occurred. Further, failures come at a higher price for the world's poorer countries since their resources are limited and the wasteful capital should be invested in the other profitable projects. The research has explored the area of e-government adoption. it identified the factor influence on egovernment. In addition, it will seek to understand how literature identified the factor in e-government in order to compare the propose and practical application in the real world setting. The research will also determine the obstacles and benefits in adopting this concept .In the view of the above points, this contribute to both, theoretical as well as practical literature, there by study will justifying its worth by bridging the gap in the extant literature about the e-government adoption. And this is actually a specific study to save costs for e-government projects success in the future. As a result the paper sought to answer three key research questions. (i) What are the critical factors of egovernment delivery in terms of implementation? (ii) What is the level of validity of the proposed factors in Vietnam in terms of e-government implementation? (iii) What implications may emerge in implementing egovernment in the context of Vietnam? An investigation into the three research questions in the current study would help to identify the most influential factor of e-government adoption. This paper is organized as follows. In the next section, we briefly introduce the context of ICT in Vietnam and the e-government development in Vietnam. Then, theoretical background and the research model are presented, which is followed by a detailed report on the results of the study. Thereafter, results are discussed with a number of implications and conclusions. Finally, limitations of this study and implications for future studies are discussed as well.
