Abstract

The objectives of this research were (1) to analyze factors affecting the implementation of architecture framework for electronic transaction documents interchange using Block chain Technology; and (2) to analyze the goodness-of-fit with empirical data of the developed structural equation model of factors affecting the implementation of architecture framework for electronic transaction documents interchange using Block chain Technology. This study was a quantitative research. The sample was selected based on cluster random sampling. The sample of this study consisted of 500 electronic transaction users from 20 ministries.  The total number of 500 copies of a questionnaire was used as the data collecting instruments. Data collected were then analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results of this study indicated that the most direct influential factor for implementation of architecture framework for electronic transaction documents interchange using Block chain Technology was the strategy/policy factor, followed by the technology factor, the society and culture factor, and the semantics factor, respectively.  In contrast, the most indirect influential factor for implementation of architecture framework for electronic transaction documents interchange using Block chain Technology was the society and culture factor through the strategy/policy factor, followed by the technology factor through the semantics factor, and the strategy/policy factor through the semantics factor, respectively. In conclusion, the strategy/policy factor, society and culture factor, technology factor, and semantics factor were factors influencing the implementation of architecture framework for electronic transaction documents interchange using Block chain Technology.
