Continuous Use Intention of E-Government Portals the Perspective of Older Citizens

This study aims to examine the effect of perceived value, perceived behavioural control and social influence on older citizens' attitude toward e-government portals and their continuous use intention. Through a questionnaire survey, primary data are collected from 123 older citizens aged 50 and above who use e-government portals. The findings show that older citizens generally have positive attitude toward e-government portals and are favourable on their continuous use intention. Older citizens rate cost, convenience, and information accuracy as the most important dimensions of perception of value of e-government portals. All the three determinants of older citizens' attitude toward e-government portals are positive and statistically significant, with perceived behavioural control having the strongest effect on attitude, followed by perceived value and social influence. Older citizens' attitude also positively and strongly relates to their continuous use intention of e-government portals.
