Abstract

E-participation is growing increasingly relevant as a tool that facilitates citizens’ participation in policymaking and decision-making activities while studies surrounding the intention of citizens to engage with e-participation in developing countries remain limited. Thus, it is essential to understand the factors that may or may not influence a citizen’s intention to engage with e-participation initiatives in order to build successful initiatives. This study proposes a conceptual model that extends Theory of Planned Behaviour to incorporate the construct, Trust in Technology. Using data collected from an online survey of 344 Guyanese citizens, the model was tested and validated using Partial Least Square - Structural Equational Modelling (PLS-SEM). The quantitative results proved that citizens with stronger perceived behavioural control and subjective norms positively affects the intention to engage with e-participation. Additionally, the study found that attitude and trust in technology have no significant effect on citizen intention. The findings presented in this document present a vivid idea of the factors that impact citizens' intentions to participate in e-participation programmes in Guyana. These findings can help practitioners in designing effective and efficient e-participation programs.

Abstract

Internet banking across banking institutions has grown tremendously in popularity over the past two decades. Internet banking among customers remains a crucial challenge within the banking industry, especially in developing countries. As such, this research investigates the factors affecting internet banking adoption in Guyana by extending the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to include information quality, service quality, system quality and computer self-efficacy as predictor variables. The study evaluated hypotheses that these variables influence users’ perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, which in turn affect actual usage of internet banking services. Data from 160 internet banking customers was collected and analysed using the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) approach to test eight (8) hypotheses among constructs of the extended TAM model. The findings of the study suggest that service quality positively affects consumers’ perceived ease of use of Internet banking, while computer self-efficacy positively affects consumers’ perceived usefulness to adopt Internet banking. The findings also demonstrated that both perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness significantly impacted the actual usage of Internet banking. The findings of this study offer Guyanese banking institutions useful information, emphasizing the necessity of enhancing service quality standards and funding digital literacy programs to increase the adoption of online banking services.
