The influence of national culture on the performance expectancy of e-parliament adoption

The Impact of Natural Culture on New Technology Adoption by Firms: A Country Level Analysis

“…The role of intensity of local competition in the relationship between masculinity and technology adoption could well be a worthwhile topic for future research. Our findings are similar with those of [25] and [46]; however, the study of [47] revealed that masculinity does have an impact on e-parliament adoption.…”

“…Our study supplements their findings in a way that, regardless of the type of new technology, uncertainty avoidance has a negative impact on technology adoption. Furthermore, some scholars have robustly argued the existence of a negative relationship between uncertainty avoidance dimension and technology acceptance or technology adoption [19], [47], [48]. In previous sections of the current paper, it has been mentioned that societies with high uncertainty avoidance levels are characterized by formalizations, and proposed that these formalizations result in new technology adoption being restricted.…”

The imperative of influencing citizen attitude toward e-government adoption and use

“…Many studies were conducted to examine the relationship between adoption of IT/IS and both national and organizational culture (e.g. Al-Gahtani, 2004;Twati, 2006;Carter & Weerakkody, 2008;Baker et al, 2010;Hu, Al-Gahtani, & Hu, 2014;Olasina & Mutula, 2015). These studies highlighted the importance of culture, and how it is linked to the success of IT/IS adoption and use.…”

“…In consequence, little attention was received to examine e-government adoption and use in developing nations in general and the Arab nations in particular. This gap is significant given cultural and social characteristics of developing countries including Arab nations differ significantly from those of the Western nations (Baker, Al-Gahtani, & Hubona, 2010;Olasina & Mutula, 2015). Due to these differences, it is reasonable to expect that the factors influencing individuals' acceptance of technologies in Arab countries might fundamentally differ from those related to industrialized Western countries, such as those of North America and Western Europe (Al-Gahtani, 2004).…”

A Cross-Cultural Study of Smartphone Adoption in Uzbekistan and South Korea

“…While practitioners sought to understand cultural differences in order to tackle the ensuing challenges, researchers explored such differences in the interests of theory building-for instance, to enhance theory's generalizability to different cultural settings (Venkatesh & Zhang, 2010). There is by now a significant body of theoretical work that contributes to understanding at various cultural levels -national, organizational and group (Ho, Raman, & Watson, 1989;Straub, 1994)-and the impacts of culture on technology acceptance are well documented (Choi & Totten, 2012;Dai & Palvi, 2009;Jung et al, 2015;Olasina & Mutula, 2015;Veiga, Floyd, & Dechant, 2001).…”
