Abstract
Objective - To identify the relationship between the e-Government web-based applications adoption and citizens' continuance intention in Southern Malaysia and to determine which element in the predictor variable that has more influence towards the outcome variable based on a theoretical framework.
Methodology/Technique - It is a correlational study that uses survey to gather data. This study is conducted in the selected private organizations in the Southern Malaysia; namely the states of Johor, Melaka and Negeri Sembilan. Convenience sampling was chosen to select 216 respondents.
