Abstract

This paper explores why many citizens avoid adopting e-government channels despite the apparent benefits of doing so. Theoretical support is provided by the dual factor and status quo bias theories. The study is based on questionnaire responses from a sample of users and a sample of non-users of e-government channels, with 923 valid responses in total. The use of a complementary qualitative method enhanced the study. The results verify that habit is the main inhibitor of adoption of e-government channels, while it is also the most influential factor in terms of the continuance intentions of existing users. Performance expectancy has a positive effect on continuance intention in users and intention to use in non-users. However, effort expectancy and resistance are also important for existing users. Therefore, if the administration wishes to increase citizens' use of e-government, it needs to develop different strategies for users and non-users.
