摘要：Nowadays, cloud computing software as a service (CC-SaaS) has gained widespread popularity and vast advantages in the information technology domain. However, the adoption rates of CC-SaaS among organisations in developing countries are inadequate and still not widely adopted. Many public organizations are still lacking a broader understanding of adopting and utilizing CC-SaaS to facilitate tasks and increase efficiency. This trend is developing countries is more evident in Iraqi public organisations; thus, it highlighted the need to adopt such technologies to be able to reduce the cost of IT infrastructure and provide fast information accessibility. This paper's main objective is to develop an instrument used to assess the possibilities of CC-SaaS intention to adopt more, especially in Iraqi organisations. Also, to ensure the instrument's validity developed to make sure they are adequate to determine the adoption and avoid the meaningless and uninterpretable experimentation result for the intention to adopt CC-SaaS in a public organization. The paper also describes a systematic approach to assess the research instrument by employing a content validity index for the proposed constructs. A panel of 12 experts was used to validate the instrument through the quantitative (content validity) method, by Item-CVI (I-CVI), Scale-level CVI (S-CVI), and the modified Kappa statistic. The result shows high content validity for the items, and it also helped reduce and modify some of the items. Thus, the results show a high level of trust in the abilities, integrity, and benevolence of CC-SaaS providers will minimize the Iraqi organization's security and privacy concerns and motivate them to acquire the cloud service, as technological, organisational, environmental. Human factors depicted in this paper are valid.
