Abstract

Managers have played a double identity of electronic government (egovernment) software implementation within their organizations. On the one hand, they are potential sponsors of the software applications. On the other, they are also explicit users. However, past e-government software and information systems studies have overlooked this unique nature. While individual innovativeness has been asserted to be significantly related to innovation adoption behavior, an increasing number of studies have evidenced that innovativeness alone does not command innovation adoption behavior. In such cases, individual involvement may play a ruling effect on innovative behaviors. Therefore, this study empirically tested a model that was developed to assess whether the factors affecting the manager's decision for using or purchasing e-government software may be diverse. The experiment involved 56 managers from different functional departments in governments, and the present study proposes managerial implications according to the results.
