he theoretical implication of this study rests on examining the role the constructs
of the study play in e-training adoption in the Nigerian civil service. This study proposes
the combination of variables with TAM as a base for e-training adoption in the Nigerian
civil service, which departs from past studies. This is done empirically to support TAM
for developing countries. This study model was developed based on Brown’s (2002)
TAM for developing countries. It was also developed based on the peculiar nature of the
Nigerian civil service of being conservative in their operations. The combination of the
constructs of perceived cost, computer self-efficacy, technological infrastructure,
Internet facilities, power supply, organisational support, technical support and
government support has not been tested in the Nigerian context.
