  This research is concerned with the development of a realistic model for
e-procurement adoption by organisations and groups observing the Rules of
Islamic Sharia (RIS). This model is intended to be based on the behavioural
control, subjective norms, and the recognition of the benefits and risks of e
procurement adoption. The developed model,(E-PAM), combined and extended two
existing models previously used for information technology adoption. Central to
the design of the E-PAM is the principle that a realistic model should consider
all relevant psychological, social, cultural, demography, and religious
factors. .
