E-procurement has recently been introduced in the Kenyan
public sector due to the many practical advantages it brings.
Usage of the system is still at a very nascent stage. This paper
sought to predict e-procurement utilization by analyzing the
constructs of the Extended Technology Acceptance Model.
The study administered a questionnaire to 229 employees of
the 11independent commissions in the country. Regression
analysis was done to describe the significance and the strength
of relationships between variables. The analysis yielded
important findings that partially support research hypotheses.
The results indicated that subjective norm and reliability of
the system influence utilization of the system while
compatibility was insignificant. All the identified elements
have correlations with the model elements and in turn impact
on the behavioral intention to use the system. This study
would influence government technology plans through
implementation of policies that enhance adoption of emerging
technologies in the public sector.
