The role of e-government systems in ensuring government effectiveness and control of corruption

Abstract

E-government systems are a part of the general process of digital transformation in the public sector: countries with efficient e-government manage to reduce the administrative burden on private citizens and businesses and to improve government performance, transparency and accountability. This article brings to light the connection between the development of e-government systems and such factors as the rule of law and control of corruption. The study relies on a path model, which was built and statistically tested by using linear regression analysis to authenticate the veracity of the model’s components. The model uses three indicators adopted from the World Bank’s Governance Indicator project – the rule of law, control of corruption, and government effectiveness. The data to measure the e-Government Development Index (EGDI) in fifteen countries was provided by the e-Government 2016 Survey conducted by the United Nations. The findings reveal a positive complementary relationship between the rule of law in a country and the development of an e-government system, which enhances the government’s effectiveness. The article describes a shift towards a more citizen-centric e-government implementation strategy, which can be recommended in particular to policy-makers in developing economies. The proposed model can be recommended as a measurement tool to assess effective governance in any given country.

The Role of Government Effectiveness in the Light of ESG Data at Global Level

“…Countries with lower levels of GE are less oriented to drug legalization in Latin America [35]. ICT access and e-government promote GE and actively participate in the fight against corruption at country level [36], [37]. GE and education have positive effects on reducing the dimensions of shadow economy and the informal sector [38].…”

Government Effectiveness, Corruption, and Decision-Making in State-Owned Enterprises

“…Articles addressing the relationship between government effectiveness in different corruption scenarios were searched in the literature. Studies on the relationship between government effectiveness and corruption addressed different perspectives, such as Accountability (Brewer, Choi, & Walker, 2007), Foreign Direct Investment (Ionescu, 2010), Culture (Mudit & Shamika, 2012), Inflation (Montes, & Paschoal, 2016), Stock market performance (Saeed Meo, 2017) and E-government system (Agbozo & Asamoah, 2019). Research seeking to understand the operations of SOEs may contribute to building public policies and mechanisms to manage these organizations and help managers guide their decisions based on different scenarios.…”
