Abstract

Government procurement of goods/services is essential in facilitating the success of the organization's strategic goals and government work programs. For this reason, the results of government procurement of goods/services must be of high quality at competitive prices and at the right time to support the main tasks and functions of regional apparatus, regional development and community economic growth. This study aimed to explain the effect of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and attitude toward using on behavioral intention to use, as well as the effect of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use on behavioral intention to use mediated by attitude toward using. The research subjects were goods/services procurement actors within the Bali provincial government, with a sample of 100 people. Determination of the sample using a non-probability sampling method, namely purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using the SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) technique. The results showed that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and attitude toward using had a positive and significant effect on behavioral intention to use, perceived usefulness had a positive but not significant effect on attitude toward using, perceived ease of use had a positive and significant effect on attitude toward using , attitude toward using does not mediate the effect of perceived usefulness on behavioral intention to use, and attitude toward using mediates the effect of perceived ease of use on behavioral intention to use. The practical implication that can be given from the findings of this study is that this study can be used as a basic model for evaluating the Local Electronic Catalog strategy for perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude toward using and behavioral intention to use. Based on the results of statistical data, that is among the three variables that influence behavioral intention to use.
