Abstract

Purpose This study attempts to examine the factors that influence user intention to adopt e-procurement in the Nigerian public sector. Design/methodology/approach A well-structured questionnaire was used to collect primary data from 278 procurement and information technology (IT) departments’ officials of key federal government ministries and agencies. The technology acceptance model (TAM) model was adopted and extended with security-related factors, namely perceived trust and perceived security. A partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) approach was used to test and validate the model. Findings The results indicated that perceived usefulness is the best predictor of users’ intention to adopt e-procurement, followed by perceived security and perceived trust. In contrast, however, perceived ease of use was found to have a significant negative effect on the intention to adopt e-procurement. Originality/value This study is among the first in the Nigerian public sector context to evaluate users’ perceptions on e-procurement adoption with the use of a distinctive research model (TAM). The study's findings contribute to a better understanding of the factors influencing the adoption of e-procurement in the Nigerian public sector.

尼日利亚的电子采购采用:来自公共部门雇员的看法
目的本研究试图探讨影响尼日利亚公共部门用户采用电子采购意愿的因素。设计/方法/方法采用一份结构良好的调查问卷,从联邦政府主要部委和机构的278名采购和信息技术(IT)部门的官员中收集主要数据。采用技术接受模型(TAM)模型,并扩展安全相关因素,即感知信任和感知安全。采用偏最小二乘-结构方程建模(PLS-SEM)方法对模型进行了验证。结果发现,感知有用性是用户采用电子采购意愿的最佳预测因子,其次是感知安全性和感知信任。然而,相比之下,发现易用性对采用电子采购的意愿有显著的负面影响。原创性/价值本研究是尼日利亚公共部门首次使用独特的研究模型(TAM)评估用户对电子采购采用的看法。该研究的结果有助于更好地了解影响尼日利亚公共部门采用电子采购的因素。
