Abstract-The reason for this paper is to investigate the variables that empower citizen adoption of e-Government driven organizations in Pakistan, where these offices are at a simple stage. Comprehension citizen's adoption of electronicgovernment is an essential topic, as the utilization of eGovernment has turned into an integral part of administration. Achievement of such activities depends generally on the productive utilization of e-taxpayer supported organizations. Inclusive e-Government is the gateway to the efficiency promised by the Electronic Government. This study utilizes the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model to inspect the powerful elements of the adoption and utilization of eGovernment services in Pakistan from a national point of view. An online survey was led and a factual spellbinding examination was performed on the reactions got from 200 Pakistani nationals. The embraced model can be utilized as a rule for the execution of e-Government services in Pakistan. This study recommends that government ought to run broad publicizing battles to guarantee that individuals are mindful of the services and utilization them. This infers that government ought to place accentuation on expanding familiarity with the services, show the profits of citizens, and empowering confidence in the framework.

Using a theoretical model, this paper argues that as firm productivity increases, there is a decrease in firm-level pollution intensity. However, as productivity increases, firms tend to increase their aggregate output, which requires the use of additional resources that increase pollution. Hence, an increase in productivity results in two opposing effects where increased productivity may in fact increase pollution created by a firm. We describe the joint effect of these two mechanisms on pollution emissions as the "productivity dilemma" of pollution emission. Based on firm-level data from China, we also empirically test this productivity dilemma hypothesis. Our empirical results suggest that, in general, firm productivity has a positive and statistically significant impact on pollution emission in China. However, the impact of productivity on pollution becomes negative when we control for increases in firm output. The empirical evidence also confirms the positive influence of productivity on output, which suggests that the main determinant of pollution is the firm's output. The empirical results provide evidence of the existence of, what we describe as, the productivity dilemma of pollution emission.

Abstract-Several governments are trying to implement and enhance reliable electronic government services all around the world to decrease time spent waiting at government offices. This innovative digital interaction, if adopted and deployed, can empower the next generation. Most of the previous research focused on developed countries, while developing countries are facing many complex obstacles related to socio-economic development, ineffective ICT strategies, and implementation challenges to meet electronic government project goals. We hope this review will help to give a better understanding about these elementary obstacle factors, which are related to infrastructure, political, economic, social, and legal issues, and users' perspectives. This study also provides suitable strategies to overcome these obstacles, to handle such issues in a better way. The nature of this study is an exploratory research has generated a list of possible strategies. It also supports policy makers, decision-makers, and government officials for the positive implementation and improvement of electronic projects.

It is paramount for any e-government service providers to get involve their citizen digitally & provide better e-services platform such as cordial web portals with easy access around the clock, updated online information, better ICT infrastructure and considering them as most valued customers. However, there are many reasons behind fully adopting citizens' participation in the developing nations like Pakistan. Thus, citizen's participation can bring very fruitful results to control corruption, to judge government policies, to make better delivery of government services, cost saving by electronically, citizen empowerment, especially in decision-making and effective services in the accountability process in public and private sectors. The main purpose of this study is to find out the answers to the questions like. What are the current challenges faced by citizens while participating in e-government services in Pakistan? What the Government has done to promote citizen's participation in e-government services in all over Pakistan? At the end, a number of recommendations & suggestions are present to the policy makers, ICT service providers, academicians and readers in order to tackle with the problems duly addressed in this comparative research study.

Abstract-Electronic Government, also known as eGovernment, is a convenient way for citizens to access e-services and to conduct business with the government using the Internet. It saves citizens and the government both time and money. This study examined adoption of e-Government supply side by looking at the UTAUT as a model of technology acceptance. Furthermore, specific variables that were proposed to moderate relationships within the UTAUT were analyzed including locus of control, perceived organizational support, affective and normative commitment, and procedural justice. Data from one sample indicated that in general, the UTAUT model was supported, however, the moderators proved non-significant. Implications are discussed for the technology acceptance process as technologies are implemented within countries and suggestions for future research in this area are discussed. This research sought to demonstrate the robustness of trust-based UTAUT to address e-Government adoption concerns. As a consequence, it was the responsibility of the researcher to select research questions, operational variables, research approaches, and research techniques, within the scope of the study. The research hypotheses formulated in this study were based on the technology acceptance literature covering the original UTAUT model with the inclusion of the trust construct. This quantitative study was conducted with help of Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) model.
