Aspectual analysis of e-government adoption barriers: a citizens perspective

Although many researches have tried to identify e-government challenges, there is still lack of citizens’ adoption of e-government. Adoption theories, such as Diffusion and Innovation Theory (DOI), have been used extensively in these researches with their own limitations. Besides, all factors work together and should be all considered to reach successful adoption. This paper aims to formulate a model that gives a comprehensive view about possible factors affecting e- government adoption by citizens. Developing the model involved conducting an aspectual analysis of Dooyeweerd theory, which is used as a method to overcome the limitations of adoption theories. This paper contributes to available literature through providing aspectual method to investigate e-government factors, which supports understanding citizens’ adoption barriers from a different perspective
