The use of the unified identification system (UIDS) can undoubtedly result in increased effectiveness and efficiency, improvement in the quality of life, reduction of crime, enhanced transparency, and good government. This study examined the dimensions of environmental factors in explaining the adoption of a unified identification system (UIDS). Dynamic capability theory (DCT), technology- organisation-environment (TOE) framework, and diffusion of innovation (DOI) were used as grounding theories. The study opted for a concurrent triangulation research design. The results revealed that government support, competitive pressure, and perceived trust are significant and support the adoption of a unified identification system. However, user readiness was insignificant in explaining the use of UIDS in the Ugandan context. This study recommends that policymakers focus on government support as it is a symbol of leadership in IS innovation adoption.

And Diffusion

By using gay rights policy as a framework, this research attempts to link the process of agenda-setting with the diffusion of innovation across the United States both theoretically and empirically. Based on independent variables that reflect both agenda-setting and diffusion, it is hypothesized that stronger predictive models will result from linking agenda-setting to innovation. While many scholars have found state-specific variables to be the strongest predictors of gay rights policy adoption, by joining agenda-setting and innovation, this research also suggests that other variables play an important role in the adoption of such policies. These variables are: previous adoption by a state’s capital city, the party of the governor, corporate policy adoptions in the state, the diversity of the state’s population, and the size of the gay and lesbian population.
