There are large varieties of governmental organizations using clouds in different ways. The purpose of this article is to explore and classify the types of public organizations using cloud computing. This will help to improve our understanding of cloud adoption and use by governments. For this, a systematic review of literature on cloud government (CloudGov) was performed by searching for articles in several databases. The review resulted into the main elements of the framework for classifying cloud use. In addition, using diffusion of innovation and institutional theory a categorization of public organizations was made. When applying the CloudGov framework empirically in government organizations, we identified three types of organizations: Leaders, Followers and Laggers. The types differ in various ways including their technology expertise, attitude towards innovation and level of political support. In further research, we recommend investigating which drivers influence the type of CloudGov users and generalize the framework to other contexts.

“…In general, the studies look at adoption factors from the technology dimension, such as perceived ease of use or performance expectancy and perceived usefulness or effort expectancy. Since these studies did not provide sufficient information to understand adoption behavior, several other studies also involved trust as a direct predictor (main effect) in government e-service adoption behavior [4][5][6][7][8][9]. Trust is also considered a moderator that may affect government e-service adoption behavior.…”

The present paper discusses the influence of factors in the health belief model (HBM) on adopting government e-services during the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. Furthermore, the present study demonstrates the moderating effect of trust in HBM. Therefore, we propose an interacting model between trust and HBM. A survey of 299 citizens in Indonesia was used to test the proposed model. By using a structural equation model (SEM), this study found that the HBM factors (perceived susceptibility, perceived benefit, perceived barriers, self-efficacy, cues to action, health concern) significantly affect the intention to adopt government e-services during the Covid-19 pandemic, except for the perceived severity factor. In addition, this study reveals the role of the trust variable, which significantly strengthens the effect of HBM on government e-service.

In wealthy developing countries like the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), the adoption of cloud computing is progressing slowly compared to the developed countries. To accelerate the cloud computing adoption, this study takes place exploring and investigating the associated security factors with cloud computing that influence organisations' desire for adopting the services of cloud computing. This exploratory study has been conducted through two steps: (1) develop a framework based on security factors discussed in related studies and (2) validate the security factors' relationships within the developed security framework. In the validation study, an instrument was distributed to 217 IT experts in different Saudi government organisations. Correlation analysis is used to explore the relationship(s) among items and factors. The results suggested that the security factors were significantly correlated with each other. The internal consistency reliability analysis results were great. Worthy Cronbach's alpha results also indicated that the items used to measure each factor were independent measures, which are positivity correlated with one another. The key findings of the exploratory factor analysis revealed three main components named as security benefits, security risks, and security awareness. Overall, the implications of this exploratory study provide a significant contribution towards cloud adoption in Saudi organisations. The outcomes of this study will serve as valuable information for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers.
