Technology adoption is well defined in e-business. The environment within which leaders must act in government is significantly different that that navigated by business leaders. The differences in these environments plays a significant role in the diffusion of technology in e-government settings. This paper explores modifications to technology adoption models to account for the changes in environment. Issues such as information security play a significant role in new technology adoptions such as egovernment. The inclusion of moderating variable to account for the environmental effects is done to extend adoption model applicability to the e-government sector.
