Abstract

Government agencies around the world are making their services available online. The success of e‑Government initiatives is contingent upon citizens' willingness to adopt these Web‑enabled services. This study uses Moore and Benbasat's (1991) perceived characteristics of innovating constructs to identify factors that influence citizen adoption of e‑Government initiatives. To pilot test our adoption model we administered a survey to 140 undergraduate students at an accredited research university. This paper discusses the results of the study and their implications for research and practice.
