ABSTRACT

The use of information technology and communications to advance the interaction between a government and its citizens is expanding at an increasing rate. Governments around the world are looking for avenues to exploit interactive tools to enhance public awareness and reduce operating costs. A primary obstacle to successful implementation of e-government is trust. In this preliminary study, we investigated the dimensions of institutional efficiency and trust and their effect on the deployment of e-government and found preliminary evidence that these indicators play a significant role in e-government readiness.
