A Survey on Identification & Explanation of Factors Affecting IT Innovation Adoption in Governmental Organizations Using SEM

Abstract

Information Technology (IT) in the present era has affected<br />all aspects of organizations as a new strategy; therefore imagine an<br />organization without IT and keeping abreast with new technologies seems<br />impossible. The current research seeks to identify factors affecting the<br />adoption of IT innovation in governmental organizations. To this end the<br />indices affecting IT Innovation adoption have been extracted after<br />reviewing theoretical background and categorized in 5 factors using<br />Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). Also Confirmatory Factor Analysis<br />(CFA) based on Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) has been used to<br />investigate the relation between indices and factors. Research Findings<br />show that indices like relative advantage & innovativeness, security &<br />reliability, organizational culture, managerial support, socio-economic<br />status and cooperation & coordination among organization departments<br />play an important role in IT Innovating adoption.
