E-government services effectiveness evaluation framework (E-GEEF) : a case study of Indian e-tax service
Technological amplification has expended the involvement of information and communication technology in public sectors and enhanced governmental dependence on information systems which restrains the management attention towards improving the effectiveness of e-government services. Based on the analytical review of literature, it was found that most of the e-government evaluation models address the e-service dimensions that assess the quality of e-government websites. This gives a very constrict perspective to e-government and ignores the key dimensions. It becomes important to understand how citizens perceive and evaluate e-government services. This involves defining what e-government service is, identifying its underlying dimensions, and determining how it can be measured. Therefore, periodical evaluation of the effectiveness of e-government services becomes essential.
Foregoing discussion clearly indicates the necessity of developing a well founded e-government e-service effectiveness evaluation framework which not only evaluates the e-government service effectiveness but also evaluates the e-government service quality criteria and the citizensâ perception in the form of citizensâ trust in offered e-services. Thus, the objective of this study was to develop a framework (E-GEEF) "e-government service effectiveness evaluation framework" that assesses e-government service effectiveness from the citizensâ (G2C) perspective. A systematic study of the existing e-government service assessment frameworks has been carried out to establish the basis for conceptualizing a theoretical framework called e-government service effectiveness evaluation framework (E-GEEF). In this research, the author attempts to explore the underlying dimensions and factors of e-government services, and has proposed an effectiveness evaluation framework (E-GEEF). Present empirical research adapted DeLone and McLean, (2003) IS success model as base model which is upgradable and extendable, hence additional dimensions were incorporated to develop a novel framework (E-GEEF) for evaluating the effectiveness of e-government service. The suggested framework has identified number of measuring dimensions and associated items within each dimension for (E-GEEF). System quality, information quality, and service quality dimensions were adopted from DeLone and McLean (2003) IS success model and âintention to use and user satisfactionâ dimensions were re-specified in proposed framework (E-GEEF) as âcitizensâ use / usefulnessâ and âcitizensâ satisfactionâ. Further, "citizens" trust, perceived e-government service quality, and perceived effectivenessâ were incorporated as new dimensions in the proposed framework (E-GEEF). Three new dimensions were identified and two existing dimensions were re-specified for evaluating the effectiveness of e-government service. Sixteen hypotheses were formulated from literature on existing e-government assessment frameworks to test the proposed framework (E-GEEF). In order to test the proposed framework and their associated dimensions, Indian e-tax service was considered, because e-tax service of Indian e-government is utilized by several Indian citizens for filing their taxes. Preliminary qualitative study was carried out carefully to ensure whether all important dimensions and measurement items were included in the proposed framework E-GEEF in the right research context or not.
Empirical research has used quantitative analysis for validating the proposed framework (E-GEEF). Data collection was done using survey which was conducted among citizens of India who have been utilizing e-tax service as users. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed to ensure the data normality by using SPSS 20. Structural equation modeling statistical technique was applied using AMOS 21 on the collected data for testing the hypotheses.
The empirical research findings have confirmed most of the hypothesized relationships within the validated framework (E-GEEF). Consequently, in terms of the theoretical implications, this study emphasizes the significance of such hypothesized relationships when performing empirical research in e-government context. Key findings demonstrated the strong relationships of perceived e-government service quality with system quality, information quality, service quality, and citizensâ satisfaction. Further, citizensâ trust exhibited direct
relationships with perceived e-government service quality and perceived effectiveness of e-government service. Thus, as a major contribution to the proposed research, the identified new dimensions âperceived e-government service quality, citizensâ trust, perceived effectivenessâ and re-specified dimensions âcitizensâ use/usefulness and citizensâ satisfactionâ have shown great significance in evaluating effectiveness of e-government e-tax service in Indian G2C context. The developed and validated framework (E-GEEF) provides government agencies with an appropriate approach and dimensions in order to evaluate the effectiveness of e-government services
Factors Influencing Consumer Acceptance of Mobile Payment during the COVID-19 Pandemic & Usage Continuance Intent: A Quantitative Study
The presence of COVID-19 has transformed the business sectorâs paradigm and prompted a speedy consumption of mobile payment software systems of diverse ranges. Corporate sectors and businesses across the globe brought a shift to offer mobile payment methods; consequently, consumers were urged to maximize the use of mobile payment throughout the pandemic. The present research aims to investigate the factors that might influence consumers' intent to accept mobile payments and their relationships during COVID-19. The technology adoption model and the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology were employed in this proposed mobile payment adoption framework. A quantitative research approach was identified as a suitable method for this research. An online survey was administered, and 304 participants responded to the questionnaire. The results of the data analysis revealed statistically significant relationships and a positive impact of the factors perceived performance, social influence, consumersâ satisfaction, and perceived usefulness on consumersâ usage continuation intention. However, the results identified that factors such as transaction risk didnât affect perceived usefulness, and financial transaction transparency didnât affect consumersâ usage intention. This study makes a substantial contribution to the consumersâ technology acceptance literature in terms of validating a proposed theoretical framework that highlights the factors that influence consumersâ mobile payment usage intentions. As this study was conducted at a later stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, it adds value to the existing literature by providing insights to business managers on the factors influencing mobile payment usage. Considering the practical perspective, this study offers evidence of the essential elements that mobile payment service designers and marketers should consider. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-07-05-07 Full Text: PD
Studentsâ Perceived M-Learning Quality: An Evaluation and Directions to Improve the Quality for H-Learning
The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the paradigm of the higher education sector and has instigated a speedy consumption of a diverse range of mobile learning software systems. Many universities were adhering to online modes of education during the pandemic; however, some of the universities are now following hybrid modes of learning, termed h-learning. Higher education students spent two years of taking their classes online during the COVID-19 pandemic and have experienced various challenges. Simultaneously, the main challenge for higher education institutions remains how to consistently offer the best quality of studentsâ perceived m-learning and maintain continuance for the new shift towards hybrid learning. Hence, it becomes essential to determine the m-learning quality factors that would contribute to maintaining superior m-learning quality in higher education during the COVID-19 pandemic and afterwards via a hybrid mode of learning. Thus, the m-learning quality (MLQual) framework was conceptualized through an extensive review of the literature, and by employing survey-based quantitative research methods, MLQual was validated via structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques. The outcome of this research yielded the MLQual framework used to evaluate the studentsâ perceived m-learning quality and will offer higher education practitioners the chance to upgrade their higher education policies for h-learning accordingly. With the preceding discussion, it is evident that evaluation of the studentsâ perceived m-learning quality factors in higher education is always a question that should be researched adequately. Determination of such m-learning quality factors is essential in order to offer significant directions to the higher education practitioners for improving both the quality and delivery of m-learning and h-learning. Consequently, the present study embraces two key objectives: First, to identify and evaluate the m-learning quality factors which could be employed to improve the quality of m-learning. Second, to propose the MLQual framework for the evaluation of studentsâ perceived m-learning quality

Decoding the Luxury Brand Attachment: The Power of Social Media in Driving Consumer Action in Kuwait
Enhancing the capacity of a luxury brand to stir a deep connection with customers has always been the focus of practitioners in the luxury industry. This study explores the potential role of social media in converting attachment with a luxury brand into desirable marketing outcomes. The relationships between âluxury brand attachment,â âmotivation,â âsocial media usage,â âword-of-mouth,â and âpurchase intentionâ are examined to understand the drivers and outcomes of luxury brand attachment in social media. A questionnaire was administered to a sample of 341 social media users on various platforms. Data were analyzed using SPSS and Amos. The results revealed that the most important attribute generating luxury attachment in social media is the capacity of a luxury brand to show prestige and status. The direct relationship between luxury brand attachment and purchase intentions is nonsignificant. A stronger attachment to a luxury brand does not entice direct intention to purchase it unless certain motives drive consumersâ luxury engagement in social media. These insights can guide marketing managers in creating effective strategies for their luxury products
