Abstract

Currently, the rapid growth of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), the explosive expansion in the use of Internet, and the distribution of E-commerce in the private sector, have put increasing pressure on the public sectors to serve people electronically. The application of ICTs and Internet in the government operations is termed as “E-government” and has become a global phenomenon recently. E-government stands for the complete optimization of the governance, service delivery, and constituency by transforming internal as well as external relationships through new technology and Internet. E-government has been adopted in many countries to provide digital government services to citizens, enable additional communication channels with the government, and improve transparency between government and citizens. This study examines determinants of people’s intention to use E-government services in Vietnam. Based on Technology Acceptance Model, privacy, security, and trust concept, a research model was proposed to discover the successful utilization of E-government in Vietnam.
