This research attempts to identify the significant factors that influence EA adoption in the public sector by using the technology-organization-environment framework and organizational theory. The conceptual model was validated using partial least squares structural equation modeling with data collected from 255 key informants from public sector organizations. Empirical results show that clear communication, coercive pressure, expected benefit, good governance, mimetic pressure, normative pressure, and organizational size have a significant influence on the adoption of EA by public sector organizations. Surprisingly, top management support, ICT infrastructure, EA complexity, organizational readiness, and external support have a nonsignificant influence on EA adoption by public sector organizations. The implications of the findings are also discussed in theoretical, contextual, and practical aspects of EA adoption in the context of public sector organizations. This model facilitates decision-makers in focusing only on the significant factors in the organizational and environmental context that influence EA adoption in Malaysian public sector organizations. Subsequently, the findings may contribute to better insights for EA initiators in their EA implementation plan and strategic planning to support EA implementation among Malaysian public sector organizations. � 2013 IEEE.
