Public administration employees’ readiness and acceptance of e-government

Abstract

Despite the widespread use of digital technology in public administration, little attention has been given to understanding e-government adoption and acceptance by its employees. This paper examines the level of public administration employees’ ICT literacy and the extent to which they support e-government. The influence of background variables is also explored in the analysis. A structured online questionnaire was used to gather data from employees of Croatian central government bodies. According to the results, surveyed employees rated their general ICT literacy as high. They are more confident in their basic ICT skills than in advanced ones. The level of such skills is associated with socio-demographic characteristics. The findings also indicate that employees accept e-government, but they are less satisfied with its implementation. However, socio-demographic factors do not affect to a great extent employees’ acceptance and satisfaction with e-government. The study expands previous research by analysing the group differences at both manifest and latent levels. It also contributes to the identification of factors that may influence e-government success.

Kajian Analisis Model E-Readiness Dalam Rangka Implementasi E-Government

“…Dari berbagai model penilaian ereadiness di atas framework STOPE dipilih karena merupakan kerangka kerja yang komprehensif dan integrasi dari berbagai faktor yang pernah dipakai dalam mengukur ereadiness, bagaimanapun keberhasilan penerapan e-government tidak hanya dilihat dari kesiapan teknologinya, tetapi juga melibatkan faktor lain yang sangat kompleks seperti aspek sosial politik, organisasi, ekonomi, budaya, kelembagaan lingkungan (Dukic, et al, 2016). Adopsi dan modifikasi framework STOPE ini dilakukan dengan mempertimbangkan kajian literatur dan penelitian terdahulu.…”

Assessing electronic readiness in university libraries: An exploratory model

“…The pioneers of electronic readiness were those research organizations and universities that addressed these issues by considering the rapid penetration of ICT and global networking (Drigas and Koukianakis, 2013;Alghamdi, Goodwin, and Rampersad, 2014;Dukic, Dukic and Bertovic, 2017). These organizations, by understanding the great penetration of information technology and the world created or being created through it, addressed the readiness of societies for existence in such world and by their own instruments ranked the countries accordingly on the basis of the amount of presence, influence and use of technological capacities (Kin and Youngblood, 2016;Fesenko and Fesenko, 2016;Waheduzzaman and Miah, 2015;Mabe and Oladele, 2015).…”
