Adoption of the Electronic Labour eXchange : an archival research of an e-Government Pilot Project / Azam Amaluddin

The Electronic Labour eXchange (ELX) is an e-Govemment pilot project, which is
one of the Multimedia Super Corrider (MSC) flagship applications. Unfortunately, it
has suffered poor promotional efforts, and as a result, it does not live up to
expectations. The research aims to propose a way to dramatically boost the adoption
of the ELX among its key users whom would benefit the most from the exercise. By
utilizing the Quantitative Positivist Research (QPR) methodology, an archival
research was conducted on the database of the ELX to analyze huge amounts of data
and hopefully discover a significant correlation that is both positive and strong. What
the research has found is both alarming and relieving: the key users of the ELX are
comprised of imemployed fresh graduates, confirming the severity of the
unemployment problem within the nation, but also provides the best avenue to
address the problem: at its source.
