“…All the latent variables were positively significant to the intent-to-adopt public e-procurement. our results indicate that a positive and strong relationship (β=0.328) between reduction of monopoly power and intent to adopt public eprocurement which is similar to the research electronic government production behaviour observed amongst Malaysian SMEs conducted by Yusoff & Islam (2011). Monopoly power of officials is one of the critical factors bearing upon opportunities for corruption (Klitgaard, 1988).…”

“…Similar kinds of research models were presented by Neupane et al (2012a, p 6) as part of an evaluation of the anticorruption capabilities of public e-procurement in developing country. Yusoff & Islam's (2011) study into electronic government procurement adoption behaviour amongst Malaysian SMEs supported this finding. Van der Heijden,Verhagen and Creemers (2003, p 44) presented a research model that furthers our understanding of online purchase intentions: contributions from technology and trust perspective.…”

One of the significant potential benefits of e-procurement technology is reducing opportunities for corruption in public procurement processes. The authors identified anticorruption capabilities of e-procurement through an extensive literature review and a theoretical model representing the impact of three latent variables: monopoly of power, information asymmetry, and transparency and accountability upon the dependent variable, the intent-to-adopt e-procurement. This research was guided by the PrincipalAgent theory and collected the perceptions of 46 government officers of the potential of public e-procurement to reduce corruption in public procurement processes. Results were analysed using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. The findings suggest that the intent-to-adopt e-procurement has a positive and significant relationship with the independent variables that might inform developing countries in strategies to combat corruption in public procurement.

“…A similar research model was presented by Chan & Lee (2003) SME e-procurement adoption in Hong Kong and the main aim of Chan & Lee's research was to investigate the determinants of electronic procurement adoption by SMEs. Similarly, another similar research model was presented by Yusoff & Islam's (2011) study into electronic government procurement adoption behaviour amongst Malaysian SMEs. Further, Gefen, Karahanna & Straub (2003) demonstrated a research model on the study of Trust and TAM as it related to online shopping.…”

This paper reports on research undertaken in Nepal into perceptions of trust in public eprocurement systems and of their anti-corruption capabilities. The research set out to examine the relationships between factors including perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, trust, and intent to adopt anti-corruption technology in public procurement. The research was guided by the Technology Acceptance model and Principal-agent theory. The findings suggest that the intent-to-adopt public e-procurement has a positive and significant relationship with concepts of usefulness, ease of use, and trust when democratic governments in developing countries attempt to combat corruption in public procurement.Keywords: Public e-procurement, intent-to-adopt e-procurement, technology acceptance, perceived benefits 1.INTRODUCTION Public e-procurement is one of the important factors in public procurement reform and can play a significant supporting role in making governments more transparent and accountable. Reducing corruption in public procurement has been on the agenda of many governments (Henriksen & Andersen, 2003). There is interest in the application of public e-procurement technology to enhance efficiency to improve the speed and quality of procurement processes, and importantly to enhance transparency and accountability in government procurement. According to Vaidya & Hyde (2011) e-procurement has been popular in advanced countries like Australia, UK, and USA as well as in governments in emerging economies including China, India, Mexico, South Korea, and Brazil, which are implementing e-procurement initiatives. E-procurement is seen as an effective way to better support transparency and accountability (Joongi, 2006).For the purpose of this study, public e-procurement has been defined as "the use of any internet-based inter-organisational information systems that automates and integrates any parts of procurement process in order to improve efficiency, transparency, and accountability in the wider public sector" (Vaidya, 2007). While there are various types of e-procurement technologies, this study has considered mainly e-tendering and e-marketplace as main technologies. As both technologies have been identified as the class of technology, which contribute to reducing corruption in public procurement, it is expected that it will help generalise the results. EJISDC (2012) In a review of the literature in public e-procurement, Brun et al. (2010) found evidence for five areas of benefit including greater transparency, control, decentralisation, maverickbuying reduction, and supply based rationalisation. Wen & Wei (2007) found the benefits of public e-procurement to be greater efficiency, lower cost, and time saved per transaction, as well as greater flexibility, and enhanced accessibility of procurement information, faster communication, and quick response time, and improved procurement quality. Gunasekaran et al. (2009) examined the adoption of public e-procurement in SMEs and recommended different key factors that we...

“…The main objective for adoption of EP are to enhance customer service and satisfaction, to produce highly reliable products, best product performance, to improve product quality, improve on time delivery, Government of India also promotes the adoption of EP for better transparency and to eliminate unethical practices, the extent of use of IT by organization's key suppliers, competitors and customers is significant and security concerns through digital networks seem to be a greater threat [3]. Many developed country such as United States, Canada and Japan are implementing eprocurement [11]. E-procurement refers to the use of integrated information technology systems for procurements function, including sourcing, negotiation, ordering, receipt and post-purchased review [1].…”

ePerolehan was one of government incentive under eGovernment application. ePerolehan was introduced to replace manual procurement system in public agencies to systematic procurement which using internet as platform of transaction. It can be access at any place and any time as long as the internet connection available. This conceptual paper will discuss benefits of ePerolehan system as one of electronic government application incentives and challenges face in order to ensure the success of implementation in Malaysia.
