Abstract

The adoption of e-government is influenced by various factors, including culture which plays a pivotal role in determining the success of these initiatives. This study investigates the intricate relationship between cultural dimensions, Gross National Happiness (GNH) domains, and the adoption of e-government. Following a systematic literature review approach, 18 relevant articles were identified and deemed high quality for thematic analysis. This analysis of the research sample reveals a significant influence of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions, such as power distance, uncertainty avoidance, indulgence or restraint, individualism or collectivism, masculinity or femininity, and long-term or short-term orientation, on various GNH domains. Additionally, GNH domains, namely Good Governance, Community Vitality, Cultural Diversity and Resilience, and Psychological Well-being, influence technology adoption. This study provides valuable insights on the linkage between Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and GNH domains and their impact on technology adoption behaviour.

Technology adoption in the context of Gross National Happiness (GNH): A systematic literature review

The adoption of e-government is influenced by various factors, including culture which plays a pivotal role in determining the success of these initiatives. This study investigates the intricate relationship between cultural dimensions, Gross National Happiness (GNH) domains, and the adoption of e-government. Following a systematic literature review approach, 18 relevant articles were identified and deemed high quality for thematic analysis. This analysis of the research sample reveals a significant influence of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions, such as power distance, uncertainty avoidance, indulgence or restraint, individualism or collectivism, masculinity or femininity, and long-term or short-term orientation, on various GNH domains. Additionally, GNH domains, namely Good Governance, Community Vitality, Cultural Diversity and Resilience, and Psychological Well-being, influence technology adoption. This study provides valuable insights on the linkage between Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and GNH domains and their impact on technology adoption behaviour.
