Abstract

The use of the unified identification system (UIDS) can undoubtedly result in increased effectiveness and efficiency, improvement in the quality of life, reduction of crime, enhanced transparency, and good government. This study examined the dimensions of environmental factors in explaining the adoption of a unified identification system (UIDS). Dynamic capability theory (DCT), technology- organisation-environment (TOE) framework, and diffusion of innovation (DOI) were used as grounding theories. The study opted for a concurrent triangulation research design. The results revealed that government support, competitive pressure, and perceived trust are significant and support the adoption of a unified identification system. However, user readiness was insignificant in explaining the use of UIDS in the Ugandan context. This study recommends that policymakers focus on government support as it is a symbol of leadership in IS innovation adoption.
