Abstract

The importance of e-government projects is driving research in the area of technology acceptance to better understand the factors influencing the adoption of such projects and thus the success of e-government. Among the factors influencing the intention to use e-government projects are: perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, social influence and trust. These relationships also are moderated by gender and age and previous literature supported such premise. This study utilized a sample of Jordanians who filled a survey consisting of items measuring the previously mentioned constructs. Results supported the proposed research model, where intention to use e-government services was significantly predicted by all proposed variables. Age and gender were significant predictors of e-government services when added to the model. Unfortunately, only one relationship was moderated by age and no relationships where moderated by gender. The detailed findings, conclusions and future work are discussed further in this paper.
