Abstract: This paper reports on research undertaken in Nepal into perceptions of trust in public e‐procurement systems and of their anti‐corruption capabilities. The research set out to examine the relationships between factors including perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, trust, and intent to adopt anti‐corruption technology in public procurement. The research was guided by the Technology Acceptance model and Principal‐agent theory. The findings suggest that the intent‐to‐adopt public e‐procurement has a positive and significant relationship with concepts of usefulness, ease of use, and trust when democratic governments in developing countries attempt to combat corruption in public procurement.
