In reality, the implementation of Shariah law is becoming more challenging in today’s environment and it is crucial to have an efficient and proper system to manage the implementation. The underlying reason for developing the Shariah Enforcement and Prosecution System (e-Jinayat) is to replace the present system of implementation which uses unsystematic mechanism with no uniform procedure applicable to all the states in Malaysia. Users form one of the major elements in determining the success or failure of a system. Without users, the system will be redundant and a waste of resources, namely, operating costs, manpower and time allocated, the loss of which has to be borne by the government. After almost a decade, the utilization of e-Jinayat is still below expectations. The purpose of this study is to identify the level of system usage and to clarify factors that can influence the success of the system. This study uses the adaptation of Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model with the addition of one factor. The factors include performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions and vendor support. A set of 282 data were obtained from respondents, comprising of enforcement officers and sharie prosecutors, who are also the system users. Results of analysis show that the level of system usage is at moderate level. The outcome of the regression analysis shows that performance expectancy, social influence and effort expectancy are significant to behavioural intention. Results also show that the relationship between vendor support and behavioural intention are significant to user behaviour whereas facilitating conditions are the opposite. Findings of this study can be used as guidelines in measuring the level of system usage towards a more competitive Shariah law implementation in Malaysia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
