Abstract: This paper examines the prospects of biometrics usage in Botswana. It aims to identify and understand the factors that are significant in explaining the intention to adopt a biometric technology and to explore the potential role of biometric technologies in driving service excellence, productivity and security. The results of the study indicate that although industries may be aware of the benefits and advantages of using a biometric technology for improving security and productivity of an organisation, this has proven to have no significant effect on deciding whether to adopt a biometric technology. The factors that significantly affect the intention to adopt a biometric technology are ease of use, communication, size of organisation and type of organisation.
