E-Government Adoption Scale
The E-Government Adoption Scale (EGAS) measures citizens' willingness to adopt and use digital government services (e-permits, e-tax, e-voting, e-tourism information services, online licensing) based on Technology Acceptance Model principles (Venkatesh & Davis, 2000) extended to government contexts (Belanger et al., 2005). It operationalizes key adoption drivers: perceived usefulness, ease of use, trust in government, security concerns, and technical support. Essential for government agencies, tourism authorities, and public service digital transformation initiatives seeking to understand and overcome citizen barriers to e-service adoption.
