“…The government policy support included within organizational context because it is seen as apart from government body not considered as an external environmental factor. This viewpoint is similar in their investigation about factors influencing local government decision-makers while adopting integration technologies [53]. Therefore, this study is limited to organizational dimension because the goal is to evaluate the readiness of government organizations, so the technological and environmental contexts have been excluded from research model.…”

“…These two indicators could enhance the technological readiness of organization to adopt CC [10]. Lack of sufficient technological infrastructure and employees' knowledge about integration technologies have restricted the decision of adoption among local government agencies in U.K [53]. At other side, the sufficient and reliable resources to support the use of CC as well as appropriate learning routines and performance measures is argued to enable the adoption of CC [10,31,32,59].…”

The aim of this study is examining the readiness of the Jordanian government sector to adopt cloudcomputing. The study empirically applied the TOE research framework that enables targeting IT managers and IT specialists in several Jordanian organization, where 132 respondents distributed on three subgroups were targeted. The obtained data were analyzed using Partial Least Square because of the small sample size. The result indicated that top management support, organization capability and government policy reflect the organizational readiness of government organizations to adopt cloud-computing. The multigroup analysis results revealed that Although the size of organizations varies, they have similar drivers of cloud-computing adoption. The IT-related experience has significant negative effect on intention of adoption while cloud knowledge insignificant. The study demonstrated the importance of the pre-adoption step that decision-makers should be aware of organization readiness before taking the decision of adoption, otherwise the organization will fall in cloud-computing trap. The study yielded some practical evidence, for instance, government organizational readiness will help in adopting cloud-computing appropriately to uptake its advantages; IT skills and robust IT infrastructures are both essential pillars for government organization readiness; top management support positively influences the organizational readiness and this an evidence for responsibility of top managers about success of adoption new technology; supportive government policy is substantial issue to strength government organization readiness and persuade government agencies' managers approve transforming process from old IT model into cloud-computing and allocate essential resources.

Citizen participation in Government's decisions has been a constant struggle since the earliest civilizations. In the ancient Greece, Aristotle said that decisions of all things should depend on the general Citizens Assembly; that judges were elected by lot and for a limited time; and that election is not depended of the importance of his fortune. To reach this objective, the society, especially the occidental one, has been implementing different forms of participation in order to achieve this objective, in a process not exempt from difficulties. A solution to this problem has been the representative democracy; but in recent years, the so-called crisis of representative democracies has been so evident that we have seen decreases in the citizen participation percentages in elections, because they have seen no actions on their representatives, making long lasting the evils pointed by Aristotle more than 2000 years ago. To respond to this drop in participation, different initiatives seeking to bring closer to the citizen the daily decisions of society had emerged. The objective of this study is to analyze the major initiatives implemented and the main problems attached to them. Analysis has shown that security is the main problem facing the majority of the initiatives, meaning privacy, uniqueness, traceability and integrity.
