Academic Perspectives on Open Government Data: A Study of Quality, Trust and Intention to Use
Abstract
Open Government Data (OGD) is a highly effective method for governments in many countries to share data with citizens. Many governments have taken the initiative to create their platform for sharing freely accessible data. Even though the platform is ready for use, the level of OGD usage remains to be discovered. It is critical to investigate the behavioral intention to use OGD to ensure transparency, accountability and trust in the government. This research aimed to fill the gap in the literature on the quality factors of OGD that influence the intention to use from the academic staff perspective. As 389 data was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) – SmartPLS the purposive sampling technique was applied. The results determined that information quality plays a big role in indicating trust in the OGD website as compared to service quality and system quality. For the mediating results, it is proven that trust in the OGD website mediates the relationship between trust in government and behavioral intention and trust in technology and behavioral intention to use OGD. The government can determine the extent of OGD usage in the nation by looking at characteristics including quality, and trust. The results of this empirical study may therefore be useful in helping the federal, state and municipal governments get ready for the release of their various open data sets. According to the National Agenda for a Digital Malaysia, this study may guarantee that Malaysia's accessible government data serves its residents in several ways.
