Purpose
This study aims to investigate the factors that influence behavioral intention (BI) and usage of e-wallets by extending the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) with constructs, namely, mobile self-efficacy, perceived enjoyment and satisfaction.
Design/methodology/approach
This quantitative study used partial least squares structural equation modeling on a sample of 576 mobile e-wallet users surveyed online.
Findings
The key findings indicate that the model can explain 58.8% of the variance in behavioral intention and 53.8% in usage. Moreover, mobile self-efficacy has a significant influence on perceived enjoyment. Perceived enjoyment significantly affects satisfaction, effort expectancy and performance expectancy. Furthermore, effort expectancy significantly influences customer satisfaction in contrast to performance expectancy. In addition, although performance expectancy, social influence and satisfaction significantly impact consumers’ behavioral intention, effort expectancy and facilitating conditions condition have an insignificant influence on consumers’ behavioral intention. E-wallet stakeholders can use the findings of this study to make strategic decisions regarding the e-wallet ecosystem.
Originality/value
Although previous studies have independently addressed the impact of mobile self-efficacy, perceived enjoyment and satisfaction on consumers’ behavioral intention and usage behavior, the expanded framework with the possible relationships proposed in this study has never been adequately studied in previous research in the context of e-wallets in developing countries based on an empirical analysis. This study represents one of the first attempts to improve the UTAUT by empirically analyzing these relationships.
After the spread of the coronavirus around the world, the Egyptian government imposed blended learning on higher education institutions. Consequently, colleges and universities in Egypt are entering a new era where learning is not confined to the classroom alone but also through learning management systems (LMSs). Thus, this study adopts the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) to study how students accept and use the LMSs. An online survey was conducted through a structured questionnaire to collect quantitative data for analysis. Obtained data from 803 respondents were analyzed using structural equation modelling Partially least squares regression was used for the model and hypothesis testing. The results show that trust is vital in determining the acceptance and use of LMSs. The study results may provide insights into a better approach to promoting LMS acceptance.
This study aimed to show whether there is a compatibility between the tactical actions to Implement GFMIS with Strategic Management objectives for Digital transformation. The study uses an interpretive case study in which the GFMIS was imposed by the government. A search of the English literature addressing Digital transformation; GFMIS; TAS; E-payment; sustainable development strategy; Egypt vision 2030 and related topics was conducted using online resources and databases accessed through the Egyptian Knowledge Bank -EKB. The study recognizes that the implementation of GFMIS may have emerged primarily as a response to external political and economic pressures. Findings reveal that some achievements have been made, but more needs to be done to overcome the challenges encountered in e-government development and implementation. The study recommends the need to rehabilitate government employees before the process of digital transformation and Work on bridging vulnerabilities before digital transformation and not after implementation.
Purpose -The purpose of the study was to establish the determinants of disaster risk reduction procedures implementation in Egyptian general petroleum corporation. The major obstacle, however, has been inadequate regulatory compliance. The study's objectives were to find out the effect of strategic planning, the role of staff competence, and the effect of top management support on the implementation of DRR procedures.Design/methodology/approach -The study used a conceptual framework that involves both independent and dependent variables. Independent variables for this study are strategic planning, staff competence, top management support, while the dependent variable is the implementation of DRR procedures. The study used a descriptive survey design and sampled 43 participants. Questionnaires were used to collect data which was analyzed according to the research objectives.Findings -The study found out that both staff competence and support from top management were a
