Abstract
The quality and quantity of e-participation procedures depend heavily on the acceptance of the local government employees involved. Based on Venkatesh’s unified theory of acceptance and use of technology, this study investigates the factors influencing these employees’ usage intention. The results of an online survey of German local government employees show that facilitating conditions, performance expectancy, and social influence significantly impact acceptance. Still, the effect of factors like administrative culture could not be confirmed. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
期刊介绍:
Administration & Society seeks to further the understanding of public and human service organizations, their administrative processes, and their effect on society. The journal publishes empirically oriented research reports and theoretically specific articles that synthesize or contribute to the advancement of understanding and explanation in these fields. Of particular interest are (1) studies that analyze the effects of the introduction of administrative strategies, programs, change interventions, and training; and (2) studies of intergroup, interorganizational, and organization-environment relationships and policy processes.
