Abstract

Lebanon is a small developing market that is making significant investments in e-government technology. The expectation is that it will improve the quality of life and decrease corruption. The current research is survey-based using a structural equation modeling technique that investigates citizens' behavioral intentions towards using e-services and cross-validates a previous study with a new matching data sample. One hundred six questionnaires were analyzed, and findings showed significant relationships between UTAUT2 constructs (performance expectancy, habit, social influence, price value, and trust in the internet) and intention to use e-government services in Lebanon. The results also shed light on e-government adoption inhibitors (effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, and trust in government). Therefore, the findings will be beneficial to the Lebanese government to develop and improve the e-services. Despite achieving its aim, this study has its limitations, which constitute the future research direction.
