Determinative Factors of Cloud Computing Adoption in Government Organizations

2022-12-29
Digital transformation in government organizations has led to the spread of e-government applications. Accordingly, government institutions face many challenges, such as the lack of highly skilled IT personnel and resources and inadequate technology infrastructure for these services. Since cloud computing offers eligible and cost-effective solutions for governments, they try to implement cloud-based solutions to improve their services and corresponding underlying networking infrastructures. Although this domain gained interest from researchers and practitioners, it is not fully explored due to the limited number of studies in the literature. Therefore, this study investigates the determinative factors of cloud computing adoption in government organizations by considering the Technology, Organization, and Environment (TOE) framework as a basis. Consequently, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is employed to prioritize these factors to provide insight into cloud acceptance by government organizations. The results show that technological factors are the most important, followed by environmental and organizational factors. In particular, security and privacy, disaster recovery and availability, internet dependency, policy and regulation, and top management support are the most critical factors for cloud computing adoption by government organizations.

Impact of Perceived Security on Organizational Adoption of Smartphones
ARPACI, İBRAHİM; Çetin, Yasemin; Turetken, Ozgur (2015-10-01)
Organizational adoption of new technologies is a practically important research area. The present study aims to investigate the impact of perceived security on organizational adoption of mobile communication technologies, specifically smartphones. For this purpose, a research model is developed extending the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The research model is tested using a structural equation modeling based on data that were collected from senior managers of 201 private sector organizations in Turkey....
Analysis of electronic signature in Turkey from the legal and economic perspectives and the awareness level in the country
İskender, Gökhan; Koçyiğit, Altan; Department of Information Systems (2006)
As in the case of other information technologies, the best way of obtaining efficient results from electronic signature application is integrating it to the legal and economic systems and increasing the awareness level of technology in the society. This thesis performs the legal and economic analyses of electronic signature in Turkey and measures the awareness level in the society. The analyses performed in the thesis show that electronic signature is not legally established in Turkey even the legal base is...
Determinants of innovation behaviour: analysis of 2004-2006 technological innovation survey of Turkey
Karakuzu, Miray; Pamukcu, Mehmet Teoman; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2010)
Main purpose of this thesis is to analyse the main determinants affecting innovation behaviour by utilizing the results of Technological Innovation Survey of Turkey for the periods 2004-2006 combined with the results of Annual Business Statistics Surveys conducted for the year 2003. The total number of the observations of the matched data of the two Surveys is 947. Main underlying reason for the time lag introduced between the two surveys is to be able to relate firm and sector characteristics to the innova...
The contribution of intellectual property rights obtained by small and medium-sized enterprises to economic and technological development : policies to be implemented
Sözer, F. Şebnem; Yalçıner, Uğur Gürşad; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2006)
This thesis analyses the utilization of intellectual property rights (IPRs) by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), their contribution to economic and technological development and policies to be implemented for the SMEs to make more use of the system in order to reach a desired level of growth. Small and medium-scaled enterprises constitute more than 90 % of all firms almost all over the world and a substantial proportion of employment and turnover. This fact bares the necessity for the SMEs to make ...
SIMULATION CONCEPTS FOR INFORMATION-SYSTEM
MOURANT, RR; Tarı, Zehra Sibel (Elsevier BV, 1993-09-01)
Recent Improvements in document image systems and their low-cost implementation on networks of microcomputers is leading to the reengineering of many information systems. We describe how document image systems can be applied to information systems. In order to compare the performance of a conventional information system with one implemented with document imaging processing capability we conducted a discrete event simulation. We modeled the conventional information system for processing graduate student ...
