An empirical study of cultural dimensions and e-government development: implications of the findings and strategies

The imperative of influencing citizen attitude toward e-government adoption and use

“…However, these studies provided inconsistence results regarding how the cultural dimensions influence the core variables of TAM. In e-government domain, prior literature also suggests that the national culture is significantly correlated with e-government readiness (Khalil, 2011), e-government development (Zhao, 2013) and citizen adoption of e-government services (Al-Hujran et al, Warkentin et al, 2002;Zhao, 2013). However, it can be noted that there is a scarcity of empirical and rigorous research about the impact of national culture on e-government adoption in both developed and developing countries which encourages further research in this domain.…”

“…National culture may influence citizens' expectations, experiences, preferences and their attitudes toward e-government. However, there is a lack of empirical and rigorous research addressing the importance of national culture dimensions in e-government adoption (Zhao, 2013). This study contributes to a better understanding of how some national culture dimensions affects e-government adoption, and how to address the cultural issue.…”

Effects of national culture on e-government diffusion—A global study of 55 countries

“…It is widely acknowledged that culture has a significant influence on consumer behavior and technology diffusion [61,21,65]. However, the effect of culture on e-government diffusion has not yet received as much attention as it deserves in the world of e-government literature and official international surveys [45,80]. For example, six consecutive e-government surveys conducted by the United Nations since 2001 took telecommunication infrastructure and level of education (being one socio-economic factor) as key components of a country's e-government development index.…”

“…Given the apparently important role that a national economy plays in e-government diffusion [71] and cultural dynamics [62,80] we also examine the possible relationship between them in our study.…”

Empirical study of the impact of e-government services on cybersecurity development

“…Technologies, user behaviour and adoption including socioeconomic issues has often dominated researches in the field of e-government [10], [4]. Also recently, empirical studies on cultural dimension and influence on e-government have beginning to emerge [18], [2]) and also multidimensional studies integrating digital divide and national economies with e-government [2], [3]. Other studies investigated the effect of information security policy on e-government.…”
