In the world currently, many developing nations identified Small and Medium Scale organizations significantly important in counties? economic development. But the contribution from the SME sector is considerably low. Therefore, addressing this issue is important in business development. Among many reasons identified as barriers for SMEs to perform, studies have identified that low usage or not using technologies like E-commerce effected to this low performance. Therefore, studies are conducted to identify barriers to use technology in SMEs and many frameworks are tested and verified in different domains. In this study mainly tested and varied a framework which is considering Information Technological factors effecting the adoption of E-commerce technology and how it is effected for SME development. In this study framework is developed using literature analysis and hypothesis are developed based on past studies in terms of Information Technology factors as a main consideration. Model testing part is done using Structural Equation Molding using IBM AMOS. At the end of the study proposed framework is modified with statistical results and finally presented a framework which can be considered as a framework to understand the Information Technology factors effecting the E-commerce adoption and SME development. \end{abstract} \keywords{information technology; E-commerce; security, ease of use; E-commerce adoption; organization performance.} \begin{textblock*}{18cm}(1cm,1cm) % {block width} (coords) \textcolor{GJBlue}{\LARGE Global Journals \LaTeX\ JournalKaleidoscope\texttrademark} \end{textblock*} \begin{textblock*}{18cm}(1.4cm,1.5cm) % {block width} (coords) \textcolor{GJBlue}{\footnotesize \\ Artificial Intelligence formulated this projection for compatibility purposes from the original article published at Global Journals.

Generally, SMEs account for the largest proportion of established businesses in most of the developing nations. As a developing country Sri Lanka has more than 80 percent employer firms, contributing to Gross Domestic Production (GDP) and generating more than 70 percent of employment \hyperref[b1]{[2]}. Therefore, country economy has badly effected with the performance of SMEs in the country \hyperref[b2]{[3,}\hyperref[b3]{4]}.\par Lack of using information and communication technologies is one of the main barriers to SME development. This is more critical when local organizations make difficulties to adopting to advance communication technologies with the respective industry \hyperref[b4]{[5]}\hyperref[b5]{[6]}\hyperref[b6]{[7]}\hyperref[b7]{[8]}.E-commerce evolution is related to rapid perfection of information technologies, the growing possibilities of their adoption in various areas, and the decrease of their usage cost and nowadays it not just to take a competitive advantage but as a necessity \hyperref[b8]{[9]}. Further ICT based E-commerce provides many advantages to both buyer and seller in the business in globally \hyperref[b9]{[10]}.\par According to \hyperref[b10]{[11]}improve SME performance technology playing an important role in Sri Lanka. E-commerce is a technology used to do businesses in digital communication media and it integrates different business components together. Therefore, according to the literature studies the main research questions is compiled as determine the influence of Information Technology factors to the adoption of Electronic Commerce among Small and Medium Scale manufacturing enterprises in Sri Lanka and to identify the effects on organizational performance by adopting to Electronic Commerce. To address this main question following specific objectives are being identified to address.

In the following section under methodology data collection and analysis part will be discussed in detail. \section[{Methodology}]{Methodology}\par A questionnaire-based survey is conducted for data collection and modeled in Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Initially, after data cleaning process reliability and validity of the data is checked and achieved the goodness of data and contracts under Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). Then Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) is executing to check the model goodness of fit. \section[{a) Structural Equation Modeling (SEM)}]{a) Structural Equation Modeling (SEM)}\par SEM is a collection of statistical techniques that can be used to confirm a theory hypothesized on a phenomenon \hyperref[b11]{[12,}\hyperref[b12]{13]}. To confirm a theory. SEM is developing and validates a set of models consisting interrelated structural relationship among theoretical contracts and indicator variables \hyperref[b11]{[12]}. The theoretical contracts refer to unobservable factors that are used to describe the phenomenon explained by the theory.\par Those theoretical contracts are represented by observable indicator variables \hyperref[b11]{[12]}. In this study initially, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) has been conducted and followed with Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). \section[{b) Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA)}]{b) Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA)}\par In this study relative advantage of the technology is identified as the main factor [10, 14-24] and is measured using 5 five items in questionnaire and Ease of use of the technology is measured as compatibility \hyperref[b9]{[10,}\hyperref[b13]{14,}\hyperref[b14]{15,}\hyperref[b18]{19,}\hyperref[b20]{21,}\hyperref[b21]{22,}\hyperref[b24]{25]} and simplicity \hyperref[b2]{[3,}\hyperref[b15]{16,}\hyperref[b20]{21,}\hyperref[b22]{23,}\hyperref[b25]{[26]}\hyperref[b26]{[27]}\hyperref[b27]{[28]}\hyperref[b28]{[29]} and measured using four items.

In the pilot test sample from the population, academic and industry respondents were used to collect data and modified the questionnaire according to the results of it. The sampling method of the study used is a nonpropositional stratified random sampling. Unit of respondent is the owner for the SME or official nominated by the owner of the organization to represent the organization. Respondents of the study the study population is identified as the organizations under SME category are who are registered under Board of Industries (BOI) of Sri Lanka. BOI is the governmentowned organization for SME industries in the county \hyperref[b44]{[45]}. According to the industrial development board total population is 980 {\ref [46]}. According to \hyperref[b45]{[47]}sample is 258 To get expected responses, 640 questionnaires were sent and 286 responses were received. Out of that responded with missing values and extreme answers 20 responses were removed and 266 responses were finalized for the analysis. The responding percentage is 44 percent. \section[{III. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA)}]{III. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA)}\par Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) is a sort of basic SEM model that works explicitly with measurement models; that is, the relationship between observed measures or indicators (e.g., test things, test scores, social perception appraisals) and latent factors or variables. The objective of latent variable measurement models (i.e., factor analysis) is to set up the number and nature of factors that represent the variety and covariation among set of variables. A factor is an observable variable that impacts in excess of one observed measure and which represents the relationship among these observed measures. At the end, the observed measures are intercorrelated because they share a typical reason (i.e., they are impacted by the same fundamental construct); if the latent construct was partial led out, the intercorrelations among the observed measures would be zero. Along these lines, a measurement model, for example, CFA gives a more parsimonious understanding of the covariation among an indicator of markers in light of the fact that the number of factors is not exactly the estimated factors at the EFA \hyperref[b46]{[48]}.\par According to the literature proposed framework showed in figure I. The study assessed the reliability of individual items by examining their internal consistency values through computing the construct reliability, Average Variance Extracted (AVE) and Cronbach's Alpha values. Table \hyperref[tab_0]{1portrayed} the reliability of the each of the constructs. This AVE values are extracted before the measurement model in SEM and this has been developed in the measurement model and followed with the structural model in CFA. \hyperref[b47]{[49]}.According to \hyperref[b11]{[12]}and The Cronbach's Alpha value should exceed the threshold of 0.70. The results in Table {\ref I} indicated that the construct reliability and it is acceptable. The next step is to examine the Composite Reliability (CR) as well as converged and discriminant validity. CR value is more than 0.774 in this study and according to \hyperref[b48]{[50]} it should be more than 0.6 in order to achieve the minimum reliability and internal consistency of latent constructs. AVE should be more than 0.5for adequate the convergent validity \hyperref[b11]{[12]}. In this analysis AVE is more than 0.50for each construct and it is acceptable. According to \hyperref[b48]{[50]} the diagonal values (in bold) is the square root of AVE (as shown in table2) while other values are the correlation between the respective constructs. The discriminant validity for all constructs is achieved when a diagonal value (in bold) is higher than the values in its row and column. Therefore, in the study discriminate validity is achieved. \section[{Table 2: Inter construct Correlation a) Measurement model}]{Table 2: Inter construct Correlation a) Measurement model}\par As statistics shows the goodness of data through table I, measurement model can be configured.\par Figure {\ref II} shows the measurement model for the study. In this study absolute fit indicate using Root Mean Square Error Approximation (RMSEA) which is an index of the difference between observed covariance matrix which denote the model \hyperref[b49]{[51]}. RAMSEA is a good fit indicator when the sample size is large. The incremental fit is measured using Comparative Fit Index (CFI). CFI is good even with a small sample and it assumes that all latent variables are uncorrelated (null/independence model) and compares the sample covariance matrix with this null model \hyperref[b50]{[52]}. To test the parsimonies fit, mourned chi-squared is used. This is simple ratio of chisquared to degree of freedom \hyperref[b11]{[12]}. Incremental Fit CFI A cut-off criterion of CFI ? 0.90 \hyperref[b11]{[12,}\hyperref[b53]{[55]}\hyperref[b54]{[56]}\hyperref[b55]{[57]} Parsimonious fit Chi-square(X 2 )/df Less than 5.0 \hyperref[b48]{[50,}\hyperref[b53]{55]} According to the validity types and its upper limits this model is acceptable. Therefore, it is evident that relative advantage of the technology, Ease of use of the technology and Security of E-commerce is considered as significant factors to be consider in E-commerce adoption. \section[{Relative\textunderscore A dvantage}]{Relative\textunderscore A dvantage} \section[{Compatibility\textunderscore S}]{Compatibility\textunderscore S} \section[{b) Structural Model}]{b) Structural Model}\par In the figure II, structural model of the study shows, and all the fit indexes are acceptable, and the model fit is achieved.\par According to the structural model it can see estimated coefficients are .20, .07 and .35 for Relative advantage, Ease of use and security respectively. The sizes of this coefficients are indicating that providing more security with the existing technical solutions has highest impact on adoption and relative advantage is average and ease of use has very small effect. Further .10 a small effect from E-commerce adoption to organization performance is indicated in the model. Therefor in this study if this study takes observed values for supervision following equations can be derived. \section[{Conclusion}]{Conclusion}\par Importance of SME development is significant for a developing country and it's is heavily integrated with the development of digital economy. A large proportion of digital economy depends on the level of adoption to ICT based E-commerce solutions. That enable countries to be more competitive in the respective market and access to global economies in all aspects. This paper explores the factors effecting to the adoption of E-commerce in specialized in Information Technology Factors in manufacturing sector SMEs in Sri Lanka. Research results show that SME sector industries have positive influence towards e-commerce adoption and it is affected by Information technology factors. Basically, Relative Advantage of the technology is identified as significant factor to be consider along with Ease of use to the e-commerce solution through compatibility of the existing technology and newly adopting technology and simplicity of the technology. According to results main barrier is identified as information and network security concerns when adopting to e-commerce solution. Therefore, providing a secure communication and building trust among uses or adopters in e-commerce will improve the adoption.\par The limitations of the research can be observed in a small number of SME (N=266) as well as in the selected factors. In Sri Lankan context only, few SME industries are registered under Board of Industries as many industries are falling under Micro scale organization. Yet, since the SME owners that have participated in this research are those who have expressed interest in cooperation in this context, obtained results can be used for future research. Furthermore, feedback for the questionnaire is positive and responds were much satisfied with the quality and the content of the questionnaire. In this study there is no moderation effect is considered in the relationship between E-commerce adoption and organizational performance.
