Abstract
ABSTRACT M-government’s potential benefits can help countries achieve both economic and human development. From the economic point of view, m-government enhances efficiency and reduces government spending. From citizens’ point of view, m-government enhances the service quality offered to them. However, for m-government to offer sustainable development, citizens must continuously use m-government; hence, it is important to investigate the factors affecting citizens’ continuance intentions. This paper builds on prior studies in information communication technologies for development by proposing a model and instrument that focuses on continuance intentions to use m-government. The proposed measures were developed and validated following rigorous guidelines for quantitative research in the field of information systems. More than 100 validators participated in the process of instrument validation. This study applies five techniques to validate the instrument. The survey items were narrowed down from 59 items to 27 items. The results show that the items have high validity and reliability.
期刊介绍:
Information Technology for Development , with an established record for publishing quality research and influencing practice, is the first journal to have explicitly addressed global information technology issues and opportunities. It publishes social and technical research on the effects of Information Technology (IT) on economic, social and human development. The objective of the Journal is to provide a forum for policy-makers, practitioners, and academics to discuss strategies and best practices, tools and techniques for ascertaining the effects of IT infrastructures in government, civil societies and the private sector, and theories and frameworks that explain the effects of IT on development. The concept of development relates to social, economic and human outcomes from the implementation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools, technologies, and infrastructures. In addition to being a valuable publication in the field of information systems, Information Technology for Development is also cited in fields such as public administration, economics, and international development and business, and has a particularly large readership in international agencies connected to the Commonwealth Secretariat, United Nations, and World Bank.
