“…The concept of culture adopted and used in this paper is based on works of Dutch anthropologist Geert Hofstede who defines culture as "a system of collectively held values". The following authors identified cultural values as one of influential factors on adoption of ICT: Bagchi, Cerveny, Hart & Peterson (2003), Johns, Smith & Strand (2003), Maitland & Bauer (2001) and Sørnes, Stephens, Saetre, & Browning (2004). Others also recognize the role culture could have in adopting ICT; for example, Bridges.org (2001) suggests that: "… unique cultural and historical environment of a region must be taken into account as part of a national ICT policy to truly gauge the country's eReadiness for the future."…”

Diffusion of information and communication technologies is a global phenomenon. In spite of rapid globalization there are considerable differences between nations in terms of the adoption and usage of new technologies. Several studies exploring causal factors including national cultures of information and communication technology adoption have been carried out. The focus of this paper is slightly different from other studies in this area. Rather than concentrating on the individual information technology an overall eGovernment readiness is the focus. This research conducted an analysis of the impact national culture has on eGovernment readiness and its components for 95 countries. eGovernment readiness assessment used in this study is based on the UN Global eGovernment Survey 2003, while the national cultural dimensions were identified using Hofstede's model of cultural differences. The research model and hypotheses were formed and tested using correlation and regression analysis. The findings indicate that worldwide eGovernment readiness and its components are related to culture. The result has theoretical and practical implications.

“…Nearly all the articles that examined power distance found the same results. There is a negative relationship between power distance and IT adoption (Bagchi et al, 2004;Erumban and deJong, 2006;Gong et al, 2007;Haapaniemi and Makinen, 2009;Peters and denDulk, 2003) although two of the more recent articles found no significant relationship between power distance and adoption (Gong et al, 2013) or power distance and resistance (Alhirz and Sajeev, 2014).…”

“…Results from studies that examined individualism/collectivism and IT adoption was mixed. An equal number of studies found that individualism was positively related to IT adoption (Bagchi et al, 2004;Erumban and deJong, 2006;Haapaniemi and Makinen, 2009;Jobs and Gilfoil, 2012) as studies that found no significant relationship between individualism/collectivism and IT adoption (Alhirz and Sajeev, 2014;Gong et al, 2007;Gong et al, 2013;Sundqvist et al, 2005). A single study found individualism to be negatively related to mobile phone adoption (Stump et al, 2010).…”

“…It was the most commonly studied aspect of Hofstede's five factors. The majority of studies found a negative relationship between UA and adoption (Bagchi, Hart, and Peterson, 2004;Erumban and deJong, 2006;Gong, Stump, and Li, 2013;Peters and denDulk, 2003;Stump, Gong, and Chelariu, 2010;Tsatsou, 2012). For example, countries that have low uncertainty avoidance like Denmark, Finland, and The Netherlands are more likely to allow employees in their organizations to telework from home (Peters and denDulk, 2003) and Greece, which has a culture of uncertainty/novelty resistant cultures, discourages technical development, innovation, and internet adoption.…”

Research on the adoption and diffusion of new technology has long been of interest to IS researchers. As business globalization has increased, interest in IT adoption in cultures has increased. What aspects of adoption and diffusion are important to understand and acknowledge when considering IT adoption in countries that are culturally different? This paper provides a review of academic articles that have investigated adoption and diffusion around the world. A framework summarizing the main topics on cultural values as they relate to systems use, adoption, and development is presented. The paper concludes with findings that can enhance future research.

“…The absence of considering cultural consequences in the adoption of technology at organizational level may lead to the failure of the adoption process as there are direct impacting influences between culture and information technology (IT) and between an organization's culture and its IT users [4]. Therefore adoption of technology by organizations should also focus on the organizational and cultural issues because culture plays a role as a significant success factor [5], and as a barrier to adoption [6].…”

Abstract. This paper describes research in progress to explore the role of culture in adoption of e-government at local government levels. The majority of research in electronic government highlighted cultural issues but they do not identify specific cultural traits influencing e-government adoption and use. From our literature review we identified four major cultural traits; adaptability, involvement, mission, and bureaucratic, that is explored in this research. Based on these cultural traits and other cultural issues surrounding the adoption of egovernment, we develop a framework to explore the role of culture in adopting and using e-government systems at local government organizations. Evidences suggest that the adoption of e-government at local levels is either mandatory or voluntary which is followed by supportive policies from central governments. Our conclusion is that during the adoption process, the cultural traits contribute to the adoption and use of e-government systems.
