Abstract

The strategy of mobile app implementation must be adjusted as the app progresses through different stages of maturity. The assessment of the quality of mobile apps used by governments is difficult as they progress through the stages of maturity of the service. A multi-item scale is proposed in this study to assess the quality of mobile apps provided by governments that involve transactions. An extensive review of research conducted by academic scholars and practitioners identified factors that influence the quality of mobile apps developed by the government. We conducted a survey of fully operational mobile apps using a questionnaire based on an analysis of reviews and interviews with users. The data was analysed quantitatively in order to develop a scale based on the responses received. Citizens can use this scale to evaluate the perceived quality of government mobile applications. According to the analysis of the data, seven constructs can be used to assess the quality of government apps on the demand side, including user friendliness, transaction transparency, loading speeds, flexibility, complete information, trust and safety, and efficiency.
