Purpose: The study sought to examine the relationship between technological factors and UID system's adoption among MDAs in Uganda.
Methodology: A positivist paradigm and cross-section design were adopted with a sample of 97 MDAs generated from a population of 130 government MDAs. MDAs were stratified and randomly selected from each stratum. The heads of department and permanent secretaries/CEOs formed the unit of inquiry that was purposively selected. Self-administered questionnaire with closed-ended questions aided data collection. Pearson correlation and hierarchical multiple regression techniques were used for data analysis.
Findings: It was established that technological factors are positively associated with the adoption of the UID system among MDAs in Uganda. The study recommends MDAs to address all technological factors to enhance the adoption of the UID system.
Contribution to policy and practice: The study significantly contributes to a large body of knowledge in the adoption of information systems in the public sector that has been less investigated in developing countries like Uganda
