“…Furthermore, this pressure has a great influence during the adoption phase by force of mandate [11]. This variable is selected because its potential effect on EA was identified in previous studies [9], [10], [66], [99], [126]. This finding is consistent with the study of Pudjianto et al [58], who found that lack of a supportive regulatory environment for e-government will result in a negative effect on assimilation.…”

Factors That Influence the Adoption of Enterprise Architecture by Public Sector Organizations: An Empirical Study

The adoption of enterprise architecture (EA) is deemed to be low despite EA's substantial benefits to organizations, especially in the public sector, as evidenced by the scarce literature on the EA adoption stage, which focuses on the decision or intention to adopt EA. This research attempts to identify the significant factors that influence EA adoption in the public sector by using the technology-organizationenvironment framework and organizational theory. The conceptual model was validated using partial least squares structural equation modeling with data collected from 255 key informants from public sector organizations. Empirical results show that clear communication, coercive pressure, expected benefit, good governance, mimetic pressure, normative pressure, and organizational size have a significant influence on the adoption of EA by public sector organizations. Surprisingly, top management support, ICT infrastructure, EA complexity, organizational readiness, and external support have a nonsignificant influence on EA adoption by public sector organizations. The implications of the findings are also discussed in theoretical, contextual, and practical aspects of EA adoption in the context of public sector organizations. This model facilitates decision-makers in focusing only on the significant factors in the organizational and environmental context that influence EA adoption in Malaysian public sector organizations. Subsequently, the findings may contribute to better insights for EA initiators in their EA implementation plan and strategic planning to support EA implementation among Malaysian public sector organizations.

“…Successful implementation of EA requires both adoption and evaluation frameworks. 11 12 One such framework is the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) framework ( figure 1 ). TAM presents how users accept a new technology using perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude towards using, intent to use, actual use and external variables.…”

BackgroundHealthcare organisations are undergoing a major transformational shift in the use of information and digital health technologies. Enterprise architecture (EA) has been incrementally adopted in many healthcare organisations globally to facilitate this change. EA can increase the effectiveness of an organisation’s digital health capabilities and resources. However, little is known about the status of EA adoption in low-income and middle-income countries. This study aimed to evaluate the challenges, goals and benefits associated with adoption of EA for healthcare in the Asia eHealth Information Network (AeHIN) member countries .MethodsWe developed an EA Adoption Evaluation framework with four principal layers: governance, strategy, EA and performance. The framework guided the development of a questionnaire to investigate the goals, challenges and benefits faced before and during EA adoption by healthcare organisations.Sample26 participants from 18 healthcare organisations in the Asia-Pacific region representing 11 countries. Organisations included Ministries of Health, Universities, Non-Governmental Organisations and Technical Advisory Groups.FindingsOnly 5 of the 18 organisations had begun adopting EA. The goals expressed for EA adoption were to address issues such as interoperability, lack of technical infrastructure and poor alignment of business and information technology strategies. Cost reduction was less emphasised. The main challenges to adopting EA was the lack of EA knowledge, leadership and involvement of senior management.ConclusionThe adoption of EA is incipient in AeHIN member healthcare organisations. To encourage EA adoption, these organisations need to invest in internal capacity building, senior management training and seek independent EA expert advice to systematically identify and address the barriers to adopting EA.

These important personnel are generally referred to as organizational users [38].…”

<p>This article on Systematic Literature Review (SLR) provides the issues and challenges faced by organizations when adopting EA. Firstly, a review of literature that discusses the problems and challenges was undertaken. Methods and theories adopted were reviewed to identify the existing approach and perspective on resulting factors that influenced EA adoption. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria defined in the review process, 16 articles were selected. A total of 19 challenges and problems were identified such as EA misconceptions, overlapping organizational rules, unclear leadership as well as lack of business and IT alignment. A sum of 15 factors from multidimensional contexts that influenced the EA adoption in the organization were also discussed, such as top management support, governance, communication as well as EA knowledge and skill. This SLR also reflected that there were relatively little empirical studies conducted on EA adoption studies. The existing studies tend to apply single and multiple theories from the organization and management domains in one study. By understanding such issues and challenges, risks can be reduced and avoided when introducing EA to organizations, and subsequently ease the deployment process. Thus, this article may shed light on understanding the organizational-related factors and the underlying relationships of EA adoption. As a result, an effective adoption of EA can be facilitated in the organizations.</p>
