“…An in-depth study of the "acceptance" of the public administration digitalization by the population and the business community as the main "consumers" of digital services was conducted by the non-profit organization RAND in the framework of the project "Statistical Indicators Benchmarking the Information Society" (Graafland-Essers & Ettedgui, 2003). A similar conclusion was made by Vintar, Dečman, Kunstelj, and Berčič (2003).…”

“…We described tendencies that do not, in any way, constitute deterministic claims about accountability in the electronic government of the public sector. Cultural, political and social factors shape e-government, and therefore accountability, in various possible ways (Ciborra, 2005; Horrocks, 2009; Moon, 2002; Silcock, 2001; Vintar et al , 2003; Von Haldenwang, 2004; Pina, Torres and Acerete, 2007). For instance, we have shown that shifts in accountability presuppose major societal transformations that are difficult to occur in contexts where patronage and patrimonial practices are deeply rooted (Gascó, 2005).…”

PurposeThe paper explores the implications of e-government for horizontal/social accountability (to citizens) by looking into its shifting location. Its main purpose is to show how the introduction of information and communication technology in the public sector changes how public sector work is organized, shifting the traditional sources of accountability, and to discuss the implications of those changes. Design/methodology/approachThe study comes from desk-based research that brings together literature on electronic government and accountability studies and situates them in the context of a bureaucratic public sector. Findings It shows that e-government entails digitalization of public sector work by restructuring work, reorganizing public information and knowledge and re-orientating officials-citizens relation. It argues that in the e-government era accountability is inscribed in the technology and its embodied standards; is a horizontal technological relation that renders officials accountable to the handling of digital interfaces and renders citizens co-producers of digital information responsible for bringing the publicto account. The paper shows that these changes do not necessarily bring better or worse accountability results but change the sources of accountability bringing shifts in its locations thereby rendering it more precarious. The paper ends by discussing the implications of digital accountability for good public administration.

“…Vintar et al [15] argue that e-administration can be either a radical reengineering of administration or just another stratum to be added to a traditional administration. e latter is the case in many developing countries such as the Maghreb countries.…”

The evolution of the concept of democracy throughout decades of theory and practice has led to the firm understanding that democracy is progressive in terms of thought and practice. An important feature of democracy is the ability of individuals to discuss and participate in matters of public interest. E-government offers an opportunity for governments and citizens to engage in more deliberate practices of democracy. This paper focuses on the Maghreb region (Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia) and discusses the direct effect of e-government on participatory democracy and also the indirect effect, which is referred to as the “indirect government-led relationship” between e-government and participatory democracy. A quantitative approach was adopted, and a questionnaire was distributed using a nonprobability, judgement sampling method, which focuses on a population with specific knowledge and expertise. A total of 702 answers were collected. The results show that e-government positively affects participatory democracy directly and also indirectly through increasing corruption control, transparency, and accountability.
