Examining adoption of electronic district (e- district) system in Indian context: A validation of extended technology acceptance model

The purpose of this study is to explore the adoption of e-District system for potential adopters in context of Bihar in India. The study validates technology acceptance model (TAM) along with some additional and important factors such as trialability and self-efficacy toward the adoption of e-District systems in context of India. The proposed research model was validated using a sample size of 304 citizens gathered from four districts namely Madhubani, Aurangabad, Gaya, and Nalanda of Bihar in India where the project was in the pilot testing phase. The data were analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM) technique of AMOS 20.0. The empirical outcomes of the proposed model indicated the significant relationships of all six hypotheses proposed between five constructs. The empirical justification, discussion, and managerial implications provided in this research can help the state government to improve upon and fully utilise the potential of the e-District system as a useful tool.
