Determinants Of User Trust In The National Electronic Payment System: An Empirical Study Of The Edahabia System In Algeria

Authors : Boulenouar Chahida .

Abstract

This research quantifies the effect of technical reliability on Edahabia users’ trust, and then the effect of this trust on usage intention. A survey of 500 users in the Oran region, combined with transaction logs over 18 months, was analyzed using structural equation modeling. Technical reliability yields a standardized coefficient of 0.58 (p < 0.001) on trust; trust yields a coefficient of 0.68 (p < 0.001) on usage intention. Notable disparities appear according to residential area and socio-professional category. The results confirm that the system’s technical performance is the main determinant of user adoption.
