“…However, Pina et al (2007b) did not detect a statistically significant association between these factors. Similarly, when analyzing the situation in the US, Tolbert et al (2008) found that states with higher budgetary incomes per capita are not more likely to develop digital government.…”

“…As such, a public body"s budget may constitute an important determinant for implementing e-government practices. A budget provides a measure of the management quality, which can benefit local politicians, increasing their possibilities for re-election and reducing interest costs (Pina, Torres and Royo, 2007b). …”

“…Several studies have analyzed how far digital administration has developed (i.e., West, 2000West, , 2001West, , 2002West, , 2003West, and 2004Caba et al, 2005;Torres et al, 2005;Torres et al, 2006;Christou and Simpson, 2009), while other have focused on format and volume, the quality of the budgetary and financial information disclosed (i.e., Laswad et al, 2005;Cárcaba and García, 2008) and factors associated with the degree of development of e-government (i.e., Siau and Long, 2006;Kim, 2007;Pina et al, 2007b;Tolbert et al, 2008;Gandía and Archidona, 2008).…”

Abstract. The aim of this study is to explain the development of e-government using a new measure of the content, presentation, navigability and interaction of the websites created by public administrations as illustrated in the United Nations 2008 report, Services Delivery by Stages. These results differ from previous empirical analyses, showing that citizens" economic and education levels are not the main factors driving the development of digital administration. On the contrary, the sophisticated design of e-government seems to be linked strongly to the idea of a new public management defined by organizations such as OECD, as well as a North American style of economic development.

“…Regardless of the existing level of globalization of administrative reforms, patterns of adoption of technology and organizational change are still contextdependent to a certain degree (e.g., Wong & Welch, 2004;Pina, Torres & Royo, 2010). This paper outlines an existing approach to e-government policy in the Czech Republic and deals with the question, "What features can be seen in the implementation of e-government policy?"…”

The paper summarizes the specifics and challenges of e-government policy, and then discusses the apparent shortcomings of policy implementation and challenges for further development in the Czech Republic. It draws attention to problems in national e-government policy and in practical policy implementation (instability of governance, low quality of evaluation, low involvement of stakeholders in project design, and public procurement issues).

Evolutions in E‐governance: Evidence from Spanish Local Governments

2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper analyzes the development of e‐government, both as an overall process and in each of the three stages identified in the prior literature (e‐government, e‐governance and e‐democracy) in order to determine the expansion of the use of e‐government with the purpose of encouraging citizens' engagement and ability to obtain public services and exchange information with their government online. The analysis has focused on 102 Spanish municipalities, which allow us a more homogeneous comparative analysis. First, we perform a content analysis of their web pages, based on an information index. Also, we undertake some descriptive analyses and graphical figures. The results obtained demonstrate that Spanish municipalities show high information transparency in economic, environmental and social matters, allowing the undertaking of administrative proceedings online and actively promoting the participation of interest groups in strategic, sustainable and managerial issues. However, the Spanish legislation needs to regulate the development of local government e‐administration in order to improve the current one‐way e‐participatory status towards a two‐way relationship of mutual feedback and finally to a partner relationship between government and society. Also, the diversity in e‐government development suggests that it is not theoretically adequate to consider it as an aggregate concept, requiring research to focus on particular applications in order to obtain useful insights.
