Abstract:

This paper explores the effect of e-government implementation on businesses in Algeria's e-business climate. It investigates whether technological factors and organizational factors would be advantageous or hinder Algerian firms’ e-government adoption. The role of trust also examines in moderating the interrelationship. Employing integrated Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) structure and Diffusion of Innovations (DOI) theory, this paper illustrates the implementation of e-government by Algerian companies. Enhanced comprehensions of e-government adoption are expected and further might help rectify the disparity and conflicting the literature findings.

Keywords:

E-Government Adoption, DOI theory, TOE Framework, Trust, Algeria.
