Abstract

Health insurance administration (HIA), a governmental institution that provides health insurance services for citizens in Jordan, is investing in an electronic health insurance administration (EHIA) system. This paper aims to explore the main factors influencing users' intention to adopt EHIA in Jordan, where little research focused on such systems. Using a quantitative approach, a sample of 315 citizens was utilized, and an instrument of 30 items was used. Findings revealed that perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, information technology background, and social influence are major predictors of citizens' intention to use EHIA. In contrast, perceived security and perceived trust are not significant toward the adoption process. Jordanian government should focus on the ease and usefulness of the system to encourage citizens to use EHIA system, where substantial efforts need to be exerted to advance citizens' skills in using e-government applications. In addition, Jordanian authorities should utilize social media effectively to illustrate the significance of EHIA system for citizens.
