the influence of competency of leaders, location, infrastructure and quality of services on telecentre

A total of 138 respondents from 11 community telecentre called Pusat Internet Desa (PIDs) in four states in Peninsular Malaysia were involved in this study. Data collected were analyzed using SPSS, employing descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and step wise multiple regression analyses. The results of the Pearson correlation analyses revealed that there were significant positive relationships between competency of leaders, location, infrastructures, quality of services and telecentre success.Based on the finding of step wise multiple regression, competency of leaders and Infrastructures contribute significantly toward telecentre success. Base on the findings it can be concluded that competency of leader, location, infrastructures and quality of services have significant
