Abstract

In the public sector, the use of digital technologies has led to significant improvements in process efficiency, reducing bureaucracy and enhancing the quality of services provided to the population. Understanding the factors that influence the adoption of these technologies is essential for the development of a more innovative and agile organizational culture. In this context, the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) stands out as an effective tool for evaluating the acceptance of new Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) by end users. This model emphasizes key behavioral and psychological aspects that determine how technologies are received and implemented. The main objective of this research was to analyze the factors that directly influence the adoption of the Electronic Information System (SEI) in public administration. A quantitative approach was adopted, using an electronic questionnaire to collect the perceptions of 1,248 public sector professionals. The analysis applied Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and focused on the TAM constructs: Intention to Use, Attitude Toward Use, Perceived Usefulness, Perceived Ease of Use, Technical Support, and Training/Education. All six hypotheses formulated were confirmed, demonstrating that these elements are crucial for fostering positive attitudes toward technology. In particular, effective technical support and continuous training were highlighted as essential for increasing familiarity, building trust, and ultimately maximizing the effective and sustainable adoption of technologies in public administration. Therefore, in the public sector, strategic policies focusing on continuous training and technical support are recommended.
