Abstract: Nowadays, moving toward
globalization, removing physical borders and living in global village
have made societies to accept information technology as an unseperable
part of their lives. Teleworking is an important innovation embeded in the
context of information technology, and internet. But, before any widespread use
of every new technology , necessary basis should be provided for it to be
welcomed by the users. Or else, obligation in its exertion will lead the
society to the blind usagae of them. This paper first investigated the
effective factors inelectronic readiness ofgovernmental
and semi-governmental organizations of Tabriz city; Then, effective
factors in accepting information technologies and teleworking were recognized
using research theories and exploratory factor analysis and KMO test . To
identify different aspects of electronic
readiness of the organizations considering their types and dimensions, 34
factors were regarded from which 7 factors were extracted expressing
66.74% of total changes. To identify different aspects of information
technology and teleworking, 19 variables were used from which 7 variables were
extracted , eliminating 2 questions (11 and 19) from the questionnaire,
expressing 75.27% of total changes. Using One-SampleT-Test, effectiveness of each variable on electronic
readiness of organizations was tested through research hypotheses.
Exerting Fuzzy AHP (Chang method),
factors were ranked. The results showed that electronic readiness
variables have higher priority than technology acceptance variables.[Shokrzadeh Morteza, Ranjbar Hamidreza, Shokrzadeh Mojtaba.Identifying
