Abstract: Adopting e-government services presents numerous challenges for governmental sectors in developing countries. These problems can fail some projects involving e-government. Therefore, a solution is required to address these problems. This paper presents a conceptual model and measurement to identify crucial factors that impact cloud computing technology in e-government to address the issues with e-government. According to the recent studies on technology adoption models, a theoretical model is proposed in this study. Extracting items from the literature and adapting them, creates the measurement scales for the proposed model’s structures. Through the use of face validity, pre-testing, and a pilot study, the authors confirm the scales’ content validity and reliability. The data used for this study were collected by the authors from 40 information technology IT professionals for the pilot study in the top 10 government departments in Libya who are responsible for many IT decisions in e-government. In this study, the authors first examine the reliability of the scale using Cronbach’s alpha and perform exploratory factor analysis to assess the scales’ validity. The data were analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The findings demonstrate that the scale measurements satisfy the standard requirements for the validity and reliability According to previous studies on cloud computing adoption from the IS perspectives, this paper theoretically provides a combination model for investigating the cloud-based implementation services to provide a more comprehensive model and the objective is to develop an empirical instrument for analyzing countries’ e-government adoption of cloud computing.
