“…This might explain the dropping of variable 29 as Egyptian society and its companies as of yet do not have much experience with the advantages of diversity. In the case of variable 30 there was some research done in a governmental setting where the results showed that there was a lack of standard collaboration practices between government agencies (Ezz et al, 2004). It might be that this lack is also experienced in a profit setting which might mean that true collaboration, in an HPO sense, is still in its infancy in Egypt.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to deal with the need for Egyptian ICT companies to adopt high performance practices in order to be able to contribute more to the development of Egypt. However, as not much research has been done into management practices which can support these organizations in the Egyptian context, a framework which was developed based on Western and non-Western data – the high performance organization (HPO) framework – was tested on its suitability in the Egyptian context. Design/methodology/approach The study used a questionnaire which was distributed to seven Egyptian ICT organizations after which a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed on the collected data. Findings The CFA showed that the original five factors from the HPO framework achieved a high reliability while 26 out of the original 35 underlying characteristics applied in the Egyptian ICT context. Originality/value This study fills the gap which currently exists in empirical research about organization performance practices in Egypt. The study also has practical implications as management of Egyptian ICT companies are now able to undertake focussed improvement actions.

“…In terms of intraorganizational variables, the decision-making related to e-government issues remains centralized in the upper level management through a top-down approach. Unlike previous studies arguing that the degree of centralization influences the acceleration of e-government adoption (Budding et al ., 2018; Ezz et al ., 2009; Waller and Genius, 2015), the present study highlights the importance of decision-making decentralization in e-government projects. Our respondents stressed the importance of being able to make decisions in an agile context, wherein a rigid hierarchy can instead undermine input from personnel who often have a good understanding of operational issues; such hierarchy can also decelerate the e-government adoption process.…”

PurposeThis study addresses the critical factors that contribute to the success of e-government programs in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member states (AMS). We investigate the factors that play key roles in e-government adoption and implementation in AMS that stem from multiple dimensions.Design/methodology/approachOur qualitative study on eight ASEAN countries with different political situations and economic developments suggests that in general, institutions (formal and informal institutions), resources, leadership, organizational design and culture values determine the success of e-government.FindingsThe provision of adequate information and communication technology infrastructure alone is insufficient to ensure the success of e-government.Research limitations/implicationsOur findings lead to a conceptual framework of factors that drive the success of e-government projects that advances the literature on e-government, particularly the research about e-government in the context of developing countries.Originality/valueAn empirical evidence and in-depth understanding suggest that different factors are associated with detrimental impacts on e-government implementation.

“…Furthermore, according to Javidan et al (2006), the rewards of employing diversity are not sufficiently appreciated in Egyptian society in general and in businesses specifically, as compared to gender-egalitarian societies. An explanation for the elimination of QE4 can be found in the work of Ezz et al (2009), which revealed the general lack of sufficient collaboration practices by Egyptian organizations.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to answer the research question “Is the high-performance organization (HPO) Framework suitable for non-governmental private sector organizations, specifically the affiliates of international companies operating in the ICT sector in Egypt?” Design/methodology/approach The research concerns a replication study in which the HPO Questionnaire was used to collect data, and factor analysis was applied to evaluate the reliability and consistency of the HPO Framework. The research approach was the same as applied by de Waal et al. (2016), but this time the research population consisted of affiliates of international ICT companies, instead of local ICT companies as in the de Waal et al. (2016) study. Findings Data gathered by means of the HPO Questionnaire from managers of these affiliates were used to evaluate the reliability and internal consistency of the HPO Framework. The confirmatory factor analysis was done twice, once for the original 35-characteristic HPO Framework and once for the 26-characteristic HPO Framework as proposed by de Waal et al. (2016) for Egyptian local ICT companies. The study results clearly show the applicability of the original 35-characteristic HPO Framework for measuring the organizational strength and identifying performance-gaps of ICT companies that are affiliates of international organizations operating in Egypt. Originality/value This study adds to the growing HPO literature on developing countries and helps Egyptian ICT companies to adopt high-performance practices to be able to contribute more to the economic development of Egypt.
