This empirical study analyzes the key factors influencing the implementation and use of the dengue fever surveillance system in Taiwan by conducting a survey for the epidemic prevention staff in Taiwanese public health administration. Methods: We use a structural questionnaire survey and consider the decomposed theory of planned behavior to be the core theoretical foundation. To build a more complete research framework, we add external variables, accounting for organizational interaction and task characteristics, to the core theoretical foundation. Descriptive statistics are obtained and reliability and validity tests are conducted using SPSS v22.0. In addition, we use Smart PLS v3.2 to conduct a path analysis and estimate the power of the predictive model. Results: The study has 782 samples, with 388 valid questionnaires and a response rate of 50.63%. The results indicate that 11 hypotheses, including perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, significantly affect the behavior and intent of use (p < .01). The 11 hypotheses proposed in our research framework have positive correlations. Conclusions: The empirical model proposed in this study has a good explanatory power of 47.1%. Our findings help identify key factors affecting the implementation and use of the dengue fever surveillance system by public health administration staff members in Taiwan.
