Implementation of E-office: A Pragmatic Study on Employees Attitude in R&D Institutions of Power Sector in India

Abstract

Eoffice is a technology that has emerged in India as open source software, and the National Informatics Centre (NIC) provides a comprehensive variety of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to make Eoffice practice and implementation more convenient for everyone. Because it serves as the backbone of the networking infrastructure, it has given outstanding services to all significant government organisations across India. To examine the relationships between various aspects of technology, their integration, and the provision of services to society, electronic office modules (EOMs) can be utilized in research contexts. The study is exploratory in nature and uses a structured questionnaire. Keeping in view the small population at 10% margin of error and 95% confidence level a sample size of [n=67] users of Eoffice application were determined using the Cochran formula. The questionnaires were distributed through online medium. Descriptive statistics are used to summarize the data collected using the SPSS Software. As part of an effort to better understand employee attitude toward Eoffice implementation, it has been found that employees are generally supportive of the initiative. It is possible that this attitude has played a key role in the success of the Eoffice implementation at Central Power Research Institute (CPRI). According to the confirmatory factor analysis, Eoffice adoption is influenced by both positive and negative attitudes. However, the positivity serves as a catalyst for embracing Eoffice and bringing together manufacturers, academics, and government research institutes on a single platform to accomplish this goal.
