“…Therefore, it can be stated that mobility, cost, backup and disaster recovery, scalability and flexibility are significant determinants for employee intentions to adopt cloud computing, as the extent to which employees believe that cloud computing could provide such benefits, this would influence their intentions positively to adopt, however, in contrary to expectation agility was identified as insignificant determinant for current sample, which is in contradict with result by SlaibiAlsharafat et al [43] and Joshi et. al [23].…”

Cloud computing is an effective technology for businesses and government sections to enhance their performance. In many modern countries adoption of cloud computing improves its success in reducing the costs with high level of eservices offered to citizens. However, many developing countries are still reluctant to adopt cloud computing and received very little empirical support. This study reviews the literature of this domain and builds a model to examine the main drivers that help decision makers in adoption of cloud technology with e-government sectors. Based on a sample of 326 respondents data analyzed using the Structural Equation Modelling though Smart Partial Least Squares technique. The study revealed that mobility, cost, backup & disaster recovery, scalability & flexibility are the key drivers that significantly affect employees’ intention to adopt cloud computing for governmental units which in turn positively influence the effectiveness of e-participation Keywords: Cloud computing, E-government, E-participation, Scalability, Mobility, Backup & Disaster recovery.

“…The platform will also enhance government entities' utilization of server hardware from the industry average of approximately 15% to more than 90%. Furthermore, by centralizing its operations through a unified data center the Government of Jordan will be able to ensure that its server power is maximized [10]. In light of the above developments, this study is both timely and relevant.…”

<p>This study aims to identify the role of cloud computing in achieving success in e-governance in Jordan. This paper investigates the effect of four accomplishment aspects (availability, flexibility, cost saving and scalability) for executing cloud computing technology in telecommunication companies on Jordan e-governance implementation. A questionnaire was developed to collect data from respondents working for the three-main public mobile telephone network operators: Zain, Orange and Umniah. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences program was used in the descriptive analysis of the responses. The results show that all four success factors have a high level of impact, separately and together, on e-governance in Jordan. Cost saving has the highest impact, followed by scalability, availability and flexibility. Based on these results, the study makes some suggestions for further research that could enrich understanding of the implementation of cloud computing and its effect on egovernance in Jordan.</p>

“…Liang et al [30] suggested a holistic approach by using grounded theory to examine determinants of e-government cloud adoption among government agencies in China. The studies that focused on middle east region, [49,50,51], explored CC benefits and challenges for e-government theoretically in Jordan and United Arab Emirates respectively. Other studies assessed CC adoption for e-government implementation in Yemen [40,52] and [37] investigated the factors affecting Saudi government to adopt CC.…”

The aim of this study is examining the readiness of the Jordanian government sector to adopt cloudcomputing. The study empirically applied the TOE research framework that enables targeting IT managers and IT specialists in several Jordanian organization, where 132 respondents distributed on three subgroups were targeted. The obtained data were analyzed using Partial Least Square because of the small sample size. The result indicated that top management support, organization capability and government policy reflect the organizational readiness of government organizations to adopt cloud-computing. The multigroup analysis results revealed that Although the size of organizations varies, they have similar drivers of cloud-computing adoption. The IT-related experience has significant negative effect on intention of adoption while cloud knowledge insignificant. The study demonstrated the importance of the pre-adoption step that decision-makers should be aware of organization readiness before taking the decision of adoption, otherwise the organization will fall in cloud-computing trap. The study yielded some practical evidence, for instance, government organizational readiness will help in adopting cloud-computing appropriately to uptake its advantages; IT skills and robust IT infrastructures are both essential pillars for government organization readiness; top management support positively influences the organizational readiness and this an evidence for responsibility of top managers about success of adoption new technology; supportive government policy is substantial issue to strength government organization readiness and persuade government agencies' managers approve transforming process from old IT model into cloud-computing and allocate essential resources.
