The transparency of government transactions can increase citizens’ trust, employees’ productivity, and national economic development. Blockchain technology is a known disruptive technology that can enable the achievement of such transparency. Facilitated by its capabilities and types, blockchain empowers organizations to deploy solutions in accordance with their needs while maintaining the integrity of all records stored in their ledger. It also makes it quite reliable for managing the value-chain of public sector organizations. Similarly, e-Government has been an effective tool for decades for transparent public service delivery and governance cost reduction among other benefits for nations. This study aimed to examine factors that could hinder the success of Blockchain technology and e-Government convergence in Nigerian public sector using both primary and secondary data. To ascertain these factors, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used, data collected were analyzed using statistical models and hypothesis testing. Findings reveal the willingness of users to adopt and use the technology if it is useful and could solve the problem for which it is designed, if there are regulations guiding their usages, and if it is easy to use. The study ends with specific conclusions and recommendations based on research findings.
Abstract
The transparency of government transactions can increase citizens’ trust, employees’ productivity, and national economic development. Blockchain technology is a known disruptive technology that can enable the achievement of such transparency. Facilitated by its capabilities and types, blockchain empowers organizations to deploy solutions in accordance with their needs while maintaining the integrity of all records stored in their ledger. It also makes it quite reliable for managing the value-chain of public sector organizations. Similarly, e-Government has been an effective tool for decades for transparent public service delivery and governance cost reduction among other benefits for nations. This study aimed to examine factors that could hinder the success of Blockchain technology and e-Government convergence in Nigerian public sector using both primary and secondary data. To ascertain these factors, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used, data collected were analyzed using statistical models and hypothesis testing. Findings reveal the willingness of users to adopt and use the technology if it is useful and could solve the problem for which it is designed, if there are regulations guiding their usages, and if it is easy to use.
