Paper Abstract:
|
Mobile government initiative has taken its first steps in the United Arab Emirates, as almost all of the government entities have released their first mobile applications. The success of mobile government in any country is based on government support, along with the peoples acceptance of mobile government applications. The purpose of this research is to find out the attitudes and perceptions of Abu Dhabi locals regarding mobile government in the UAE. Diffusion and adoption of the M-Government applications is subject to a number of factors as is the case with the diffusion or adoption of any new or innovative technology. Previous researches have determined the factors which influenced the adoption of mobile government in some countries by using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology model (UTAUT). This study adopts some of these common factors and to find out which factors will influence the adoption of mobile government in the UAE. The factors used are demographic factors, social influence factors, technology awareness factors, face-to-face interaction factors and trust factors. At the end of this study, the researchers make some recommendations for successfully adopting mobile government in the UAE. |
