Purpose- The purpose of this study is to explore and investigate empirically the relationship between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived information quality, and intention to use e-government to gather information and conduct transactions by Jordanian citizens. Motivations- The motivations for conducting this study are: this work has never been done in the Jordanian e-government context; there is a significant part of e-government literature that investigates various factors that determine intention to use e-government in developed countries, however, there is a dearth of studies that investigate intention to use e-government for gathering information and conducting transactions in developing countries; and finally, it is an empirical research where important findings emerge and as a result, relevant managerial implications are provided. Design/methodology/approach- A questionnaire survey was developed based on the related literature. The original version of the questionnaire was in English then translated into Arabic. The questionnaire was circulated to a selected sample of Jordanian citizens who are aware of e-government services. Findings- The results of data analysis have revealed that Jordanian citizens perceive that e-government system is useful, easy to use, and to some extent has a high level of information quality. The results have also showed that there is a significant positive relationship between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and perceived information quality and intention to use e-government for gathering information and conducting transactions. Finally, the results suggest that citizens’ gender and level of education make some differences in terms of using e-government for gathering information rather than for conducting transactions. Research limitations- This research has not taken into consideration all the contextual factors that may determine intention to use e-government for gathering information or conducting transactions. Also, it did not take into account the possibility of any intervening, mediating, and moderating variables that may strengthen the hypothesized relationships in the research model. Practical implications- As this research focuses on perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived information quality and tries to link those with intention to use, as result; it will encourage the use of e-government for gathering information and conducting transactions. It also raises the policy and decision makers’ awareness of how Jordanian citizens are going to use e-government services. Finally, it gives e-government project national team an idea of how to design e-government strategy according to citizens’ needs.
