examine factors influencing the adoption of
e-Government by individual citizens and develop a
citizen-centric e-Government website evaluation
model capable to assess e-Government performance.
This section provides the details about the population
and sampling, survey development, data collection

Mediation Analyses
Success factors (IQ, IQ and SI) were the independent
variables, SAT was the mediator and IU the
dependent variable. Several regression analyses were
performed to test [condition 1] significance of the
total effect of the independent variable on the
dependent variable; [condition 2] significance of the
effect of the independent variable on the mediator;
and [condition 3] that the mediator significantly
predicts the dependent variable, controlling for
independent variable.
H1: The effect of IQ on IU is mediated by SAT
Using Baron and Kenny (1986)s causal steps, the
results were:
H1a) IQ significantly predicted IU (b=0.49, p < 0.01:
Condition 1 was met).
H1b) IQ significantly predicted SAT (b=0.65, p <
0.01: Condition 2 was met).
H1c) IQ and SAT significantly predicted IU (b=0.21,
p < 0.01 and b=0.35, p < 0.01: Condition 3 was met).
