Abstract

The low level of public engagement with digital public services highlights the need for strategies that 
encourage repeated use of e-government systems. This article employs a conceptual literature review approach 
to examine the application of Nir Eyal’s Hooked Model which consists of trigger, action, variable reward, and 
investment elements in designing digital public services that foster habitual use. The study focuses on the 
Electronic Customs Declaration (e-CD) application developed by the Directorate General of Customs and 
Excise (DJBC) as a case for analysis. The findings reveal that the current e-CD system has yet to fully adopt a 
structured approach to digital habit formation, as reflected in the low rate of pre-arrival completion by users. 
The analysis based on the Hooked Model proposes development strategies including data-driven triggers, 
simplified user actions, symbolic rewards, and digital investment features. These insights suggest that 
behavior-based approaches can serve as an innovative foundation to enhance user engagement with 
government digital services in a sustainable manner.
