“…And when looked at the intention to use, their current status of use is very little while they sometimes tend to use. The results indicate the existence of other variables which affect the intention to use and actual behavior and was not foreseen in the model (Collis and Moonen, 2008;Venkatesh et al, 2003;Burton and Hubona, 2006). One of these variables may be the gender and its effect on the model was examined within the scope of the research.…”

“…TAM has been widely used in a variety of studies using a range of variables and it has consistently been found to be strong predictors of acceptance behavior (Shipps and Phillips, 2013;Bagozzi 2007). Although TAM is a very useful, theoretical model for explaining and understanding the user behavior in using information technologies, it is considered to be limited and it is proposed that it should be expanded by adding new variables including human and social factors (Venkatesh et al, 2003;Burton and Hubona, 2006). Individual difference is regarded as a dominant factor in the adoption behavior of information systems.…”

Among multimedia researches, contribution of cartoons to teaching process and academic achievement has often been examined. However, these technologies may have a slower and less effect since acceptance of them by users is affected by many factors. Therefore, it is extremely important to understand and reveal the factors which encourage teachers who are to choose the most appropriate tool and material for students during teaching period to use cartoons for teaching or restrict their use. To this end, teachers' perceptions, attitudes, intentions and behaviors concerning the use of cartoons for teaching were examined and modeled according to Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). As a result of the analyses, data were obtained from 271 teachers who work in several provinces to test its relationship between the variables of perceived benefit, perceived ease of use, attitude towards use, intention of use and actual behavior stated in TAM. The data obtained were analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results show that the model gives different results from the ones foreseen in TAM. Moreover, it was seen according to the paired comparisons on the model that the only significant difference between females and males is attitude predicting strength of the perceived benefit

“…However, it has been paid less attention on role of TAM external variables. External variables could have direct effect to the usage behavior [39]. Meanwhile, they posit that there are arguments on the importance of external variables to be studied since those would be ultimate driving forces of the usage of new technology innovations.…”

“…One of TAM limitation is; TAM assumes that external variables make influence on usage only through the two constructs of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. However, there are arguments that external variables could have strong direct effect to the usage behavior [39].Citation: Ranaweera HMBP (2016) Role of National Culture on the Use of e-Government Services in Sri Lanka.

improvements will cause to attract and retain users for continuous use. Given the aforementioned evidences, the scope of this paper is to find an answer to the following research question. Research questionDoes national culture make impact on the use of e-government services in Sri Lanka?The rest of the paper is compiled as follows. The brief explanation on the background of the study and literature evidences are presented in section two, followed by the theoretical framework and the research model in section three. Research methodology and analysis is discussed in section four while section five is devoted to present the research results and discussion. Conclusion of the research, limitations and future research direction are brought in section six and seven. Background and Literature EvidencesApart from technical and management related factors, human factors which are related to cultural and social elements in developing countries are very much important for user behavioral decisions on the adoption and use of e-government services. Negligence of cultural traits will be acted as hindrances for adoption and use of new technological systems [10]. Hence, non-technological factors are very much important. However, few studies have been explored about the cultural influence on the adoption and use of e-government services [10,11]. Thus, culture makes remarkable influence on the acceptance and adoption of new technologies such as e-government services [14][15][16].Keywords: e-Government; Technology acceptance model; National culture; Structural equation modeling; Sri Lanka Introduction E-government means utilizing ICT facilities available in internet and web based technologies to offer government services to general public as well as to improve the government services [1][2][3]. To proper function the e-government initiatives, there should be IT savvy culture within government organizations as well as among the general public. Most of the governments around the world still are confronting the issues with regard to acceptance, adoption and use of e-government services regardless of the possible benefits of vast e-government projects [4][5][6] because issues are multi-dimensional in nature. The core issues of the e-government domain are from social side (user's demand) not from technical side [7]. Even though, some issues have been examined much more, still there are some other aspects which are yet to be explored [8]. These issues must be addressed not only from technical perspective but also social and cultural perspective [5]. The importance of culture for technology adoption and use in particular for the e-government services has been pointed out in prior studies [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Culture represents how social groups interact with each other and how distinguishes societies, institutes, professions or even countries. At the same time, culture explains how people in social groups interact with new technological innovations. However, it has not been paid much more attention regarding this particular fa...

“…Η Borgman [2003] υποστηρίζει ότι σημαντικά στοιχεία των χρηστών που επηρεάζουν τη χρηστικότητα των ψηφιακών βιβλιοθηκών είναι οι ικανότητες χρήσης ηλεκτρονικών υπολογιστών, η γνώση του πεδίου και η οικειότητα με το σύστημα. Κάποια από αυτά τα χαρακτηριστικά, όπως είναι η γνώση χρήσης ηλεκτρονικών υπολογιστών, είναι μέρος των εξωτερικών μεταβλητών που ερευνώνται Liaw & Huang, 2003;Kira & Saadé, 2006], ενώ άλλες δίνουν μεγάλη σημασία σε χαρακτηριστικά όπως η ηλικία και το επίπεδο μόρφωσης [Burton- Jones & Hubona, 2006].…”

Οι ψηφιακές βιβλιοθήκες αποτελούν ένα σημαντικό μέρος των ηλεκτρονικών πηγών που καλύπτουν τις διαρκώς κλιμακούμενες πληροφοριακές ανάγκες των χρηστών διαφόρων κοινοτήτων. Αποτελούν ένα σημείο αναφοράς στον σύγχρονο κόσμο της πληροφόρησης, αφού οι επενδύσεις σε οικονομικό επίπεδο είναι υψηλές, τόσο για την ανάπτυξη τους, όσο και για την απόκτηση πρόσβασης στο περιεχόμενο που παρέχουν. Ως πληροφοριακά συστήματα οι ψηφιακές βιβλιοθήκες διακρίνονται από σύνθετες φάσεις ανάπτυξης και στο πλαίσιο αυτό η αξιολόγηση κρίνεται ένα σημαντικό στοιχείο βελτίωσης και προσαρμογής. Η χρηστοκεντρική θεώρηση της αξιολόγησης έχει κερδίσει σημαντικό έδαφος τα τελευταία χρόνια ισοσκελίζοντας τη διαφορά με τις συστημοκεντρικές προσεγγίσεις της. Οι χρηστοκεντρικές αυτές θεωρήσεις όχι μόνο τοποθετούν στο επίκεντρο των βελτιώσεων τα οφέλη του χρήστη για την επαύξηση των θετικών στοιχείων της διάδρασης του με τις ψηφιακές βιβλιοθήκες, αλλά ενημερώνονται από τα χαρακτηριστικά του, ούτως ώστε η ενημέρωση και η επέμβαση στη λειτουργία τους να είναι ουσιαστική. Στη παρούσα διδακτορική διατριβή παρουσιάζεται η προσπάθεια ανάπτυξης ενός χρηστοκεντρικού μοντέλου αξιολόγησης των συστημάτων πληροφόρησης των ψηφιακών βιβλιοθηκών. Έχοντας ως σημείο αφετηρίας τις ανάγκες για την κάλυψη πολλών διαφορετικών αντικειμένων που επιβάλλονται από τη διεπιστημονικότητα του χώρου, την πολυπλοκότητα, τόσο των συστημάτων, όσο και του περιβάλλοντος, και την οικοδόμηση του σε γνωρίσματα των χρηστών, το μοντέλο αυτό εμφανίζει τα χαρακτηριστικά της ευελιξίας, της ευρύτητας και της αξιοποίησης των ιδιοτήτων των χρηστών. Στο επίκεντρο του βρίσκονται οι αλληλεπιδράσεις μεταξύ τριών κυρίων φορέων και πιο συγκεκριμένα του περιεχομένου, του συστήματος και του χρήστη. Οι αλληλεπιδράσεις αυτές στηρίζονται σε άξονες που περιγράφουν τα χαρακτηριστικά της χρησιμότητας, της χρηστικότητας και της απόδοσης.
