Using a theoretical model based on structural equations, the present work identifies the relevant factors for an EF3-approach to the democracy model named e-Cognocracy: it comprises a conjoint evaluation of its effectiveness (doing what is right), efficacy (achieving goals) and efficiency (doing things correctly). The model was applied to a real-life e-Cognocracy experience undertaken in the municipality of Cadrete, Zaragoza. The evaluation resulted in the extraction and identification of a series of relationships that allow the advancement of an EF3-participation acceptance model, in line with the TAM model of Davis and the work of Delone and MacLean, which can be used for the integral evaluation of any e-participation model.2020http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/9447910.3390/math8020277http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/94479oai:zaguan.unizar.es:94479info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO-FEDER/ECO2015-66673-RMATHEMATICS 8, 2 (2020), 277 [19 pp.]byhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
