Ezentani, Ahmed Musa. "Factors that affect the implementation of G2G E-government in countries with non-traditional governance : Libya as a case study." Thesis, University of Salford, 2010. http://usir.salford.ac.uk/26669/.
Full textAbstract:
This research study clearly explains the application of G2G e-government within nontraditional governance. This research was aimed at developing a framework that identified the key factors that affect the implementation of G2G e-government within non traditional governance using Libya as a case study. Libya is an Arab country in North Africa and similar to other Arab countries in many ways with respect to the location, language, religion, customs, values, culture, and history. But Libya is completely different in its political and economic system. Libya is a unique model of democracy, using a system of direct democracy, which depends on the power of the people through the People's Congresses as an instrument of legislation. Libya has a public society, also there is no a Prime Minister in Libya and no any municipalities but its governance is based on People's Congresses and these committees decide what legislation to be implemented. In order to achieve the research aim, four objectives have been accomplished. By reviewing the relevant literature the theoretical framework was enhanced. Then the empirical work was carried out by collecting the data required for the research in three Libyan public sectors namely the General Public Committee (Cabinet of Libya), the General Public Committee for Planning (The Ministry of Planning) and the General Information Authority. After collecting the data it was analysed qualitatively to identify and explore the key factors affecting e-government in the selected cases. The findings of the research have been discussed, using many tools for triangulation, to understand the implementation of e-government in the three cases, and to find the factors affecting e-government within non-traditional governance, the initial theoretical framework is revised accordingly to reflect the case studies' findings. This study is the first one that has identified both the factors and factors affecting egovernment within the Libyan public sector. The significance of this research is that lessons have been learned as well as solutions on how to apply e-government in a country with non-traditional governance.

Full textAbstract:
Since the advent of Internet and communication technologies, E-government has become a Subject of considerable importance to the developed and developing countries, providing these countries with many potential opportunities to improve the quality of public services, provide cost-effective service delivery, and promote a better relationship between citizens and governments than that associated with traditional modes of public services delivery. However, the few existing studies in the field of IS related to the adoption and diffusion of online public services in the context of developing countries reveal that citizens remain sceptical about accepting internet-based technologies. This raises the question among researchers, scholars, and practitioners involved in the development and implementation of ICT, of how governments can increase citizen adoption and level of usage of the new electronic delivery channel in respect of public services in developing countries. The primary objectives of this study are twofold. Firstly, it aims to identify the critical success factors in respect of E-government adoption and implementation in Libya, from the citizen perspective, and secondly, it aims to determine the inter-relationships among these factors in the Libyan context. In doing this it assesses the usefulness of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as a basis for the development of a conceptual framework enabling rational, informed decisions underlying and predicting citizen satisfaction with E- government services in Libya. To achieve its aims, the study undertakes five main tasks, these being: (1) a review of the literature, (2) a preliminary field investigation to ensure the appropriateness of the research approach chosen for the study, (3) a pilot study to assess the reliability and validity of the research model, (4) the development of hypotheses and scales, and (5) the development and validation of a research model via a questionnaire survey. Triangulation of the data is achieved by using qualitative interviews as well as a quantitative survey. The data from the study is then compared and contrasted with the literature from which the theoretical framework for the contextualisation and interpretation of findings was developed.

Full textAbstract:
E-Government is the use of information technology particularly web applications to deliver convenient services for citizens, business and government. Governments worldwide spend billions of their budgets in order to deliver convenient electronic services to their citizens. There are two important points; government offers online services, and citizens consume these services. In order to maximize the benefits of these projects and to avoid possible failures, the gap between these points should be addressed. Yet there are few empirical studies that have covered the relevant issues of adoption from the citizen perspective in developing countries. This research study investigates citizens’ acceptance of e-government services in the context of Saudi Arabia. It posits an integrated model of the key elements that influence citizens’ adoption of e-government. The framework includes a combination of attitudinal, social, control and trust factors as well as the influence of gender. The model is validated by surveying 533 citizens and utilising the structural equation modeling technique for data analysis. Findings show that both measurement and structural models exhibit good model fit to data. The study shows that all constructs satisfy the criteria of constructs reliability and convergent and discriminant validity. The paths estimations show that of the sixteen designed casual relationships, eleven paths relationships were found to be significant while the other five paths remained unsupported.

Full textAbstract:
Taking the cases of Buffalo City Metropolitan municipality (BCMM) and City of Cape Town Metropolitan municipality (CoCT), this thesis explores the implications of government to employee (G2E) electronic government workplace restructuring on skills transformation and workplace control as perceived by back office employees and managers from different Corporate Services departments. It aims to describe the arrangements, rationale and degree of G2E e-government at BCMM and CoCT, investigate how managers, employees and union representatives identify the workplace changes relating to skill as well as document and analyse workplace struggles linked to G2E e-government. Using labour process analysis, the impacts of G2E e-government technological change are conceptualised. The labour process concepts alert us to ways in which G2E e-government technology is applied in the context of specific public sector production relations. They explain how employees and managers experience the dynamics of skill transformation and the mechanisms of control related to G2E e-government. The consideration of the labour process contrasts predominant e-government scholarly works that focus on government websites. Further, by using case study methods, namely interviews, surveys and observations, the thesis documents the particular back office employees’ and managers’ realities of G2E e-government which are marginalised in scholarly literature. The sample of respondents were selected using purposive sampling based on the subjects’ knowledge and experience, snowball sampling following referrals and random sampling during site visits. The respondents included four managers, four employees, two shop stewards and one service provider at BCMM and 16 managers, 20 employees and four shop stewards at CoCT. The findings from BCMM and CoCT illustrate how G2E e-government workplace restructuring individualises the labour process through the kind of technologies it introduces. Moreover, they show how the restructuring facilitates electronic information, communication and operations which broaden demands on technical as well as social skills. The findings also show that the restructuring extends avenues for managerial control thereby marginalising union representivity as the workplace control systems create opportunities for systemic control by management. As the South African government adopts electronic government and makes optimistic declarations of “cost saving”, “efficiency”, “productivity” and “innovation” through egovernment, the study uncovers marginalised local government employee and manager experiences. It contributes to building new knowledge on the impacts of contemporary technological change on the local government labour process and contributes to debates around the effects of G2E e-government reforms on local government.

Mestrado em Economia Monetária e FinanceiraNosso estudo é com base na recolha de dados relevantes das economias do G20 com a inclusão da Grécia, Portugal, Espanha e Nigéria. Os dados coletados são variados em um período de 35 anos (1980 - 2015) e a metodologia empregada é a Técnica de Regressão Linear na qual três modelos foram estimado, nomeadamente: modelos OLS agrupados, efeitos aleatórios (RE) e efeito fixo (FE). O FE modelo que é nosso modelo preferido e ótimo mostra que a coorte da população em idade de trabalhar - que se diz serem produtivas, têm uma associação depreciadora ao RER doméstico. No entanto, a relação da antiga coorte dependente parece ser ambígua, pois mostra que temos um efeito depreciador sobre o RER doméstico no modelo de referência, tendo uma apreciação efeito sobre o RER doméstico após executar um modelo de forma reduzida - um modelo baseado em dados demográficos variável e termos de troca. Isso só foi interpretado como sendo que nosso modelo não é muito robusto para mostram consistentemente a associação entre a coorte do envelhecimento e o RER de uma economia.
Our study is based on the collection of relevant data from the G20 economies with the inclusion of Greece, Portugal, Spain and Nigeria. The data collected is ranged over a period of 35 years (1980 - 2015) and the methodology employed is the Linear Regression Technique in which three models were estimated, namely: Pooled OLS, Random Effect (RE), and Fixed Effect (FE) models. The FE model which is our preferred and optimal model shows that the working age population cohort - which are said to be productive have a depreciating association to the domestic country RER. However, the relation of the old dependant cohort seems to be ambiguous as it shows us to have a depreciating effect on the domestic RER in the benchmark model while having an appreciating effect on the domestic RER after running a reduced form model - a model based on demographic variable and terms of trade. This was only interpreted to be that our model is not very robust to consistently show the association between the ageing cohort and the RER of an economy.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis will add to the debate on the nature of popular politics at Rome from the time of the Gracchi to Sulla. It examines contemporary evidence in order to reconstruct the terms in which political discourse was conducted. The period marks a time of political dynamism in the Republic, prior the fateful precedents set by Sulla, and falls before the period dominated the Ciceronian corpus. The first aim of the thesis will be to evaluate and utilize the fragmentary evidence of contemporary oratory in order to consider the terms in which politicians described themselves and their opponents. This will allow for a critique of the model of Roman politics derived from Cicero's works which has been often ascribed to the period. Rather than substantiating the traditional picture of politics, conducted in terms of the opposition between popularis and optimas, it reveals that this period is characterized by competition to appropriate the same rhetorical concepts and identification with the traditional role of the Senate in the res publica. The second aim is to contribute to the question of the role of ideology in Roman politics by further demonstrating the existence of a versatile and varied vocabulary capable of articulating a discourse between different ideological standpoints.

The wave of the fourth industrial revolution leads us to an intelligent information society by spreading intelligent information technology (Al, IoT, Cloud, Big Data, etc.) to almost every aspect of our lives, such as industry, economy, culture, society, etc. As the fourth industrial revolution accelerates, it is crucial to establish an innovative strategy for Government that utilizes these technologies. Notably, to keep up with the changes in the intelligent information society, it is necessary to make a significant transformation of the current E-Government operation or E-Government service delivery. Therefore, this thesis focuses on the transformation to an intelligent E-Government, a new concept of E-Government that has absorbed intelligent information technology. Specifically, this thesis: 1) Analyzes the current E-government system using the ARIES framework and several other techniques, and examining the necessity of the transformation to an intelligent E-Government system. 2) Explores a successful transformation strategy to an intelligent E-Government from the organizational and political perspectives, and finally, 3) Proposes recommendations for how to implement an intelligent E-Government from a technical point of view. The expectations of citizens for government services are multiplying. Also, the emergence of the intelligent information society, the appearance of various new technologies, and the limitations of the current E-Government system require an improvement of the existing E-Government system. The primary goal of this thesis is to investigate a concrete and feasible plan for how to successfully transform the E-Government system in line with the evolution of technology.

Despite a highly centralised system of government, Tanzania, has attempted several measures aimed at achieving decentralisation of its immense powers to allow people to have a say on matters affecting their respective areas of jurisdiction. By discussing the autonomy of local government in Tanzania, this research will highlight whether or not local government in Tanzania has the autonomy to exercise its functions without undue interference from the central government. There is not much literature on the local government laws of Tanzania .Therefore, this research will contribute to the concept of decentralisation in Tanzania in particular and Africa in general.

Full textAbstract:
World-over, E-Government has been recognised as a tool for radically improving the way governments interact with their citizens. While the obvious benefits of E-Government include providing convenience and easy access to customers thereby resulting in improved services to citizens, reduction of costs (by re-deploying resources from back-end processing to front-end customer service); providing easier access to information, increasing transparency and communication between government departments and with the public, the long term benefit of E-Government is also to make it easier for people to conduct their daily lives and business in the nation, thereby making it an attractive location to attract global talent. On the other hand, introducing E-Government requires a transformation in the way the government structure functions – thereby requiring a change in the organisational culture, managerial styles, systems and procedures apart from large financial investments towards technology upgrades. In order to ensure that e-Government is actually bringing about the changes that are desired (via the benefits) it is vital that strict performance measures be instituted on a continuous basis to check the effectiveness of e-Government. This study investigates 8 government departments employing e-Government in Dubai through a case study method and seeks to identify the challenges faced by each department in providing their services to their customers, the performance measures that have been instituted by these departments to evaluate the effectiveness of their e-services and the benefits that they have derived there from. The key challenges and performance issues have been studied and how these challenges could be managed effectively has been analysed. The study utilised the case study method by interviewing key members from each of the 8 departments studied. Important documents were reviewed and the researcher made personal observations from visiting the websites and portals of each of these departments. The results show that while the e-Government initiative in Dubai is quite advanced in comparison with the similar initiatives in countries across the world, there are several challenges faced by these departments. These include – no clear and standardised performance measures being used across the board, lack of technological knowledge and education initiatives for department staff and perhaps not enough organisational learning to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the e-Government Initiative.

Although the e-Government was mentioned more frequently, especially because of data boxes, its origin dates back to 90th the 20th century. Then the first efforts to development of information systems began to connect various governmental offices. However, these efforts haven't been very successful. Subsequently, different e-Government services start developing and this is what the diploma thesis is about. First it outlines the progress of the e-Government. Then this thesis attempts to the e-Government services and also provides information about e-Government system in different countries. At the end there is described electronic data interchange, electronic invoicing and electronic archiving.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents a two part criticism to Liam Murphy and Thomas Nagel’s book, The Myth of Ownership, in which they attempt to argue that it is logically impossible that one can have any entitlement to their pretax income. The first criticism addresses their claim that based on a politically charged understanding of human nature you cannot have property without government. Through the fields of psychology, biology and anthropology, an overlap is found that presents human nature in such a way that presents a serious hurdle to the Murphy and Nagel position. The second criticism addresses their failure to define the scope of government in their book. In light of cultures that have a strong conception of property, Murphy and Nagel are charged with equivocating on the definition of government in order to make their argument hold. The conclusion reached is that based on current research pertaining to human nature and a brief anthropological study, the existence of government is not needed in order to have property within a community.

Full textAbstract:
Aus der Einleitung:
In den letzten Jahren vollzieht sich ein gesellschaftlicher Wandlungsprozess von der Industrie- zur Informationsgesellschaft. Diese Entwicklung wird getragen vom zunehmenden Einsatz internetbasierter Informations- und Kommunikationstechnik (IuK). Mit Electronic Government (eGovernment) stößt auch die öffentliche Verwaltung die Tür zur Welt des Internets auf. Doch schon vor eGovernment hat der IuK -Einsatz im Rahmen der Verwaltungsinformatik eine lange Tradition. Der entscheidende Einschnitt folgte aber ab Mitte der 90er Jahre mit der Virtualisierung der Verwaltung: Von der Einbindung ins Internet, der Integration bestehender Systeme per Intranet bis hin zur Digitalisierung gesamter Verwaltungsabläufe. Doch lässt sich eGovernment nicht auf technische Anwendungen reduzieren. Vielmehr hat eGovernment erhebliche Potenziale zur Verwaltungsmodernisierung und rückt seit Ende der 90er Jahre in den Mittelpunkt der Diskussion um eine Verwa ltungsreform. Dabei baut eGovernment als parallele Entwicklungslinie auf einige Elemente des New Public Management (NPM) auf. Mit eGovernment verbindet sich die Hoffnung, den gewandelten Umfeldbedingungen und zunehmenden Anforderungen an die öffentliche Verwaltung hinsichtlich Effektivität, Effizienz, Kunden-, Qualitäts- und Wettbewerbsorientierung gerecht zu werden.

Thesis (MPA (School of Public Management and Planning))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.m-Government or mobile-Government is seen as part of e-Government and an additional channel for the delivery of public services and information to the citizen. This study critically examines and evaluates the extent to which the Provincial Government Western Cape has adopted m-Government and implemented related services. A survey conducted by Kirsten (2006) on the adoption and readiness of mobile technology by businesses in South Africa was used as the foundation of this study to determine the level of readiness in the Provincial Government Western Cape. Managers and technical staff within the Province’s information and communication technology component, the Centre for e-Innovation, were interviewed and asked to complete the survey. The study found that, although there is a relatively high degree of adoption with regard to various aspects of mobile and wireless technology, there are many obstacles and barriers that need to be overcome in order to achieve a higher level of m-Government maturity or readiness. The study makes various suggestions on how to overcome these barriers. The most important suggestion is to develop a holistic approach to the adoption of m-Government. Plans for adoption should be incremental to ensure that small victories that can be built on are achieved; the involvement of key stakeholders is also essential.

Full textAbstract:
The public's trust in government is a subject that arouses interest and debate among researchers and politicians alike. This thesis is concerned with public trust in government in China and particularly in local government. It provides insights both on the patterns of public trust in different levels of government and explores the key factors that account for variance in this respect. In light of the findings in this respect, the thesis also makes suggestions about measures that might be taken to improve public trust in local government particularly in the China context. A mixed methods research design has been employed that has included analysis of responses to a major trans-China quantitative survey of public opinions and the conduct of a series of semi-structured interviews with local government officials operating at different governmental levels within one municipal city. The research examines the commonalities and differences between the perspectives of citizens and of officials with regard to the scale, nature and causes of public distrust in local government. The thesis considers the implications of the findings and makes suggestions as to the kinds of policy and practice responses that would seem necessary to improve Chinese's citizens' trust levels in their local government.

Full textAbstract:
The advancements in the ICT and internet technologies challenge governments to engage in the electronic transformation of public services and information provision to citizens. The capability to reach citizens in the physical world via e-government platform and render a citizen-centric public sector has increasingly become vital. Thus, spending more resources to promote and ensure that all members of society are included in the entire spectrum of information society and more actively access government online is a critical aspect in establishing a successful e-government project. Every e-government programme requires a clear idea of the proposed benefits to citizens, the challenges to overcome and the level of institutional reform that has to take place for e- government to be a success in a given context. E-government strategy is fundamental to transforming and modernising the public sector through identification of key influential elements or strategy factors and ways of interacting with citizens. It is therefore apparent that governments must first understand variables that influence citizens’ adoption of e-government in order to take them into account when developing and delivering services online. Botswana has recently embarked on e-government implementation initiatives that started with the e-readiness assessment conducted in 2004, followed by enactment of the National ICT policy of 2007 and the approval of the e-government strategy approved in 2012 for dedicated implementation in the 2014 financial year. Significant developments have taken place around national and international connectivity including initiatives that offer connectivity to citizens such as the I- partnership, community run Nteletsa projects, post office run tele-centres and Sesigo projects that have been deployed on a wider Botswana. In spite of these remarkable initiatives there is no change management strategy in place and evidence to suggest that citizens cluster groups, government employees, key influential citizens’ stakeholders and other local government administrative governing structures at district levels have been appropriately informed, consulted, engaged and participated in the design, development and implementation initiatives. This position has contributed largely to low e-readiness indices for Botswana, low PC, Internet and broadband penetration levels, which do not commensurate with levels of connectivity initiatives already in place and operational. The strategy development, which is the viability business plan for the entire project has been initiated and concluded without the appropriate input of citizens, employees and local government structures at the districts. Considering that that e-government is new and narrowly researched in Botswana. There is non existing research on both the impact of strategy factors to e-government implementation success and citizens’ involvement and participation in the e-government design and implementation through to adoption and continual use. This study therefore explores and investigates empirically the key e-government strategy influential success elements and the how citizens’ involvement and participation in e-government development can be secured, supported and facilitated towards adoption and continual future use. This culminates in the proposal of both theoretically supported and empirically validated e-government strategy framework and citizen centric conceptual model. The study is crucial as it aims understand how can influences upon success in e-government project be better understood and citizens’ stakeholder adoption of e-government enhanced to facilitate successful development of e-government in Botswana and is also timely as it comes at the time when Botswana has not yet implemented her e-government strategy, hence factors identified are critical to both strategy re-alignment and design of the citizens’ involvement and participation change management strategy to support both implementation and citizens’ adoption of e-government in Botswana. The study utilises the mixed methods research, employing both qualitative and quantitative methods to address the research question and triangulated data collection approaches used to select survey sample for two questionnaire sets carried on opinion holders within government and non government structures and ordinary citizens, use of observations on operating tele-centres, interviews with key e-government strategic stakeholders and document analysis which included e-government policies and related documentations as well as extensive review of e-government published literature including applied implementation and citizens adoption experiences of developing and developed countries. In the analysis of data the multiple regression analysis has been utilised and multivariate analysis performed to ensure linearity, normality and collinearity. The linear regression has been used to test the hypothesis through the Analysis of variance (ANOVA) technique.

Alketbi, Hamad. "An evaluation of e-government effectiveness in Dubai smart government departments." Thesis, Southampton Solent University, 2018. http://ssudl.solent.ac.uk/3809/.
Full textAbstract:
This PhD thesis examines the E-government implementation in Dubai and examines the critical success factors and barriers to a successful E-government implementation. The study is based on primary research conducted on the subject of E-government in the United Arab Emirates. The thesis critically reviewed extant literature on E-government implementation. The methodology used for this research is a mixed-methodological design comprising of quantitative survey of 450 employees of the Dubai Smart Government Department. A survey questionnaire was designed to assess the impact of various independent and dependent variables on the effectiveness of E-government implementation. To complement the shortcomings of the high level of abstraction often associated with quantitative methodology, a qualitative methodology was used which involved in-depth interviews with 25 middle and high ranking officials in the Dubai Smart Government Department. The results of these questionnaires and interviews helped provide a theoretical framework for the postulation of standard operating procedures, which could ensure the success of E-government implementation, in Dubai. The research analyses and discusses the primary data (questionnaire and interviews) to generate insights regarding the success of E-government implementation in Dubai. The analysis also examines the various factors which limit and hinder successful E-government implementations and offers recommendations for improvement. The study finds that some of the major barriers to E-government in Dubai include: technology, security, legal, monetary and strategic. Employees surveyed also generally expressed fear of complexity, system integration, data security, and job losses. Researchers have repeatedly shown that there is need for empirical based studies to understand contextually relevant aspects of E-government implementation in non-western contexts. This PhD thesis contributes to this debate with fresh empirical data sets from Dubai on E-government implementation including the identification of critical successes factors and barriers of a successful E-government implementation. This study also contributes theoretically by challenging the popular normative stage models with a more robust theoretical framework encompassing both human centeredness and context relevance. In so doing, the study came up with a tripartite approach comprising management support, cultural change, and system design. The study concludes that dynamic interplay between internal and external forces; socio-economic and technological factors (including maturity of ICT capabilities) are all relevant for a successful implementation of E-government in Dubai. This study’s key significance lies in its contribution to improve the implementation of a successful E-government in the UAE context, thereby leading to a development of a road map for facilitating practical implementation of strategies and reversing the declining trend of E-government participation in Dubai. In addition, the study’s emphasis on the public sector, could lead to strengthening of the role of E-government for administrative and institutional reform and inclusion in the public sector. The study could provide a useful guide both for the Dubai Smart Government Department and other E-government agencies in Arab regions and for internal stakeholders in the field who wish to gain insight into the process of E-government globally.

Masters of CommerceThis study aims at determining the m-Readiness of a Province for m-Government from a context of its Provincial Government (PG), the underprivileged citizens of the region and the mobile fluency thereof. In answering the research question, i.e., “What is the extent of readiness of the government and that of the underprivileged citizens for introduction of m-Government within the region under study”, literature was reviewed and existing models synthesised, and from that, a conceptual model was presented which acted as a reference point. The research process used a quantitative method and utilised a stratified random sampling method in determining and adequately representing the populations under study, namely, underprivileged citizens and IT managers and specialists from the PG’s office. Descriptive statistics were adopted in analysing the collected data used in answering the research questions and findings presented. The findings show that the Province is m-Ready for m-Government services, from the studied contexts of the PG, underprivileged citizens and mobile fluency. The reference model, that is, the Provincial Mobile Readiness Measurement Model (PMRMM), was developed from a perspective of the Province under study, therefore, its theoretical generalizability to other Provinces has to be first studied before being implemented. Secondly, the study only looked at three segments of the government service delivery value chain, which are the Government-to-Citizen (G2C), Government-to-Employee (G2E) and Governmentto- Government (G2G). The contributions of the study are twofold, firstly as a practical decision-making guide regarding introduction of m-Government and secondly, it adds to the conceptual understanding of government readiness for introduction of government services via ICT mobile platforms.

Ao seguir os passos da iniciativa privada que investe em tecnologia da informação, e guiado pela teoria institucional, o governo também concentra esforços no desenvolvimento de políticas de comunicação, bem como no uso das novas tecnologias para aprimorar a gestão pública e facilitar o relacionamento com a sociedade. Através dos conceitos e aplicações da New Public Management a tecnologia da informação e comunicação revolucionou o relacionamento do governo com o cidadão, e permanece contribuindo para a qualidade e satisfação, ampliando de forma significativa a oferta e demanda de serviços totalmente eletrônicos. Especialistas em gestão pública elegeram o Governo Eletrônico como um instrumento de desenvolvimento da transparência, da oferta de informações, de melhores serviços e de redução de custos por meio da utilização da internet. Nesse sentido, o objetivo da presente pesquisa buscou aprimorar a transparência dos serviços prestados pela gestão pública através da relação governo e cidadão com o uso da tecnologia da informação e comunicação, identificando a importância do governo eletrônico onde a gestão pública possa proporcionar satisfação à população e buscar o aperfeiçoamento de suas práticas e rotinas através da internet. Para tanto, considerou-se que a gestão pública deve se estruturar para prestar serviços com qualidade à sociedade se adequando periodicamente às solicitações advindas da população. A metodologia para identificar a importância das tecnologias de informação e comunicação junto à Gestão Pública foi embasada a partir da revisão teórica e da realização de um estudo de caso, onde foram questionados munícipes e entrevistados gestores públicos da Prefeitura de Cachoeirinha-RS cuja proposta foi entender a comunicação e o relacionamento Governo Cidadão e ainda a absorção dessa relação, por parte da gestão, no aprimoramento da transparência na prestação de seus serviços. Com análise de conteúdo e cálculos estatísticos se avaliou a dimensão da importância e da satisfação na utilização da tecnologia da informação para o aprimoramento da transparência na prestação do serviço público através da relação G2C. Os resultados obtidos revelaram que a Prefeitura de Cachoeirinha-RS possui ações de gestão que se concentram prioritariamente na adequação da infraestrutura de rede, de operações internas, diretrizes tecnológicas, legislação e serviços ao cidadão. Também foi possível perceber que a usabilidade do portal se situa aquém da imagem veiculada e há despreparo do cidadão na comunicação com a prefeitura através da internet, e, esta utilização demanda da divulgação de conhecimentos e da otimização dos serviços públicos existentes, bem como maior participação da comunidade na integração de políticas governamentais. Concluiu-se que a relação entre governo e cidadão através da tecnologia da informação e comunicação apresenta pontos passíveis de aprimoramento na prestação dos serviços públicos transparentes.
By following private initiative steps that invests in information technology and led by institutional theory the government also concentrates efforts on communication policy development as well as the use of new technologies in order to improve public management and make the relationship with the society easier. Information and communication technology revolutionized the relationship between the government and citizen through the concepts and application of New Public Management. It keeps contributing to the quality and satisfaction by a meaningful and full enhancement of electronic service offer and demand. Experts in public management have elected the Electronic Government as a transparency development instrument, information offer, better services and cost reduction by using the internet. In this regard, such study aims at improving the delivered services transparency by public management through the relation between government and citizen by using information and communication technology and identifying the importance of electronic government in which the public management is able to prompt satisfaction to the population and search for the enhancement of practices and routines through the internet. Therefore, it is taken for granted that the public management must be structured in order to deliver high quality services to society and periodically adapt to population requests. The methodology to identify the importance of information and communication technologies along with public management has been based on a theoretical review and a case study in which residents were enquired and Cachoeirinha City Hall public administrators were interviewed where the proposal was meant to understand the communication and the relationship Government-citizen as well as the absorption of such relationship by the management and service deliverance transparency enhancement. Through content analyzes and statistics calculus the size of importance and satisfaction of information technology use to service deliverance transparency enhancement have been assessed by using G2C relationship. The outcome reveals that Cachoeirinha City Hall-RS has management actions which are mainly concentrated on network infrastructure adequacy, internal operations, technology guidelines, legislation and citizen services. It was also possible to notice that the portal usability is below expectations of advertised picture and the citizen is not prepared to communicate with the city hall through the internet. This use requires knowledge promotion and the existing public services optimization as well as community participation to government policies integration. It has been concluded that the relationship between government and citizen through information and communication technology shows aspects to be improved regarding transparent public service deliverance.

Thesis (MPA (Public Management and Planning))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Electronic government or e-Government has become a global phenomenon and is seen as a tool to strengthen the performance of government and public administration. An efficient and effective state administration is a necessary requirement for economic and social development. This study describes to what extent the e-Government policy of the PGWC compares with other e-Government policies internationally and in particular the Australian e-Government policy. South Africa as a young democracy can use the transformational power of the e- Government approach to the benefit of government, business and the citizens of the country if this approach is applied appropriately. e-Government offers the opportunity to improve public services and can even reduce the gap that exists between those who are computer literate and those who are not. E-Government in the PGWC is still in the beginning phases compared to e- Government in Australia, which has developed rapidly over the last decade. The PGWC can learn from the Australian e-Government development process, with Australians being regarded as one of the leading e-Government nations in the world, according to the United Nations Organisation. Even though the e-Government policy of the PGWC and the Australian e- Government policy use a comparatively similar approach within the demographic boundaries in which they exist, it was found that the socio-economic challenges of South Africa as a developing country, still have an enormous influence on the optimal application of the e-Government policy.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Elektroniese regering of e-Regering het ‘n wêreldwye verskynsel geraak en kan gesien word as ‘n maatstaf vir die versterking van regeringsoptrede en publieke administrasie. ‘n Effektiewe en doeltreffende staatsadministrasie is ‘n noodsaaklike vereiste vir ekonomiese en sosiale ontwikkeling. Hierdie studie beskryf tot watter mate die e-Regeringsbeleid van die Wes-Kaapse Provinsiale Regering met ander internasionale e-Regeringsbeleide vergelyk, veral met betrekking tot die e- Regeringsbeleid van Australië. As ‘n jong demokrasie kan Suid-Afrika die transformerende invloed van die eregerings benadering tot die voordeel van die regering, besigheid en die burgers van die land gebruik indien hierdie benadering korrek toegepas word. e-Regering bied die geleentheid om publieke dienste te verbeter en kan selfs die bestaande gaping vernou tussen diegene wat rekenaargeletterd is en diegene wat nie rekenaargeletterd is nie. e-Regering in die Wes-Kaapse Provinsiale Regering is nog in ‘n betreklike vroeë stadium vergeleke met e-regering in Australië waar dit oor die laaste dekade snel ontwikkel het. Die Wes-Kaapse Provinsiale Regering kan vanuit die ontwikkelingsproses van die Australiese e-Regering leer, daar Australië deur die Verenigde Volkere-organisasie as een van die voorste e-Regeringnasies in die wêreld beskou word. Selfs al toon die beleide van die Wes-Kaapse Provinsiale Regering en die van Australië ‘n relatief eenderse benadering tot e-Regering binne die demografiese grense waarin hulle bestaan, is gevind dat die sosio-ekonomiese uitdagings van Suid-Afrika as ‘n ontwikkelingsland steeds ‘n enorme invloed op die optimale aanwending van e-Regering het.

Full textAbstract:
Bibliography: leaves 83-89.Unofficial fees are a common feature in Ugandan health facilities and exist in different forms. This study explores the forms of unofficial fees existing in Ugandan hospitals and compares findings from government and non-governmental hospitals in both rural and urban areas. It also investigates the reasons for or causes of such fees as well as the relationship between unofficial fees and other factors such as quality of care within the hospitals. The overall aim of the study is to analyze the magnitude and impact of unofficial fees on patients' expenditure and thereby make recommendations for improvement in efficiency and equity with regards to out-of-pocket funding. Both qualitative and quantitative interview methods are used to obtain data from service providers and patients in each hospital and a comparison of findings obtained using the two methods is made. The main findings from the study are that unofficial fees are rampant in government hospitals and can be classified into four categories; fees for commodities such as drugs; fees for access to services; fees for services such as laboratory, radiology and surgery and gratuity payments. The latter category is the commonest form reported in non- government hospitals while all the others are rare. Estimates of unofficial fees amount to a significant percentage of patients' expenditure, especially in the cases where surgery and radiology are required especially for rural-based patients. It's also found that most of the patients attending government hospitals pay at least one form of unofficial fees. Unofficial fees were found to be closely associated with poor quality of care in that the latter enhanced an informal economy, which resulted in the fees being charged/paid. The study shows that efficiency and equity (access to quality care and ability to pay) are negatively affected by the practice of collecting unofficial fees. Recommendations for policy makers to address the problem are made as well as suggestions for the best-suited methodology for analysing unofficial fees in the Ugandan context.

This case study explored the use of Labor Management Partnerships in the government sector through the Partnership to Achieve Comprehensive Equity (PACE), a partnership between Metro, a division of King County government and Amalgamated Transit Union, Local 587 (ATU). The study examined the partnership’s influence on organizational outcomes and the manner in which the partnership functioned and sustained itself, as well as the challenges and obstacles that threatened both the partnership and outcomes. Two key findings emerged from this study. First, partnerships are supported by flexible structures and practices that foster relationship-building through dialogue and co-learning. Second, partnerships must confront contextual challenges, such as changes in leadership and organizational resistance that threaten their viability. As this case study illustrates, it is the community’s ability to establish strong and dynamic relationships that ensures members are respected, empowered, and engaged in the partnership’s outcomes.

In the paper different views on the question of world government and world governance are presented. I take the position that only a democratic world government is a desirable political goal, as it is only possible to promote individual autonomy consequently solving global problems. While accepting that there could be different answers to this condition, I analyze three approaches to the subject by Tannajo, Nielsen and Held and argue that shared sovereignty within a world federation defined by a democratic global constitution is a necessary condtion to call a world order a democratic one.

Full textAbstract:
Local government is one of three tiers of government that operate in Australia. This research investigates how marketing can be applied to local government in a holistic manner. To achieve this goal, theory needed to be reviewed and developed with one particular outcome being a model outlining the components of the marketing environments that need understanding prior to the application of marketing practice. Local government was selected as the context of this study as much is written about the marketing of not-for-profit, social and public sector organisations but the literature on the integration of these practices in a holistic approach for local government is very limited. Further local government has a major economic impact on the viability and longevity of many rural and semi-rural areas of Australia. Equally in the metropolitan areas, local government accounts for a considerable proportion of the employment and impact on growth and development of these regions. Traditional marketing theory has been found wanting in the local government area, as traditional marketing practices is being applied in a piecemeal approach. This practice has caused local governments to have conflicting messages and product offerings to the community. However the review of marketing derivatives theory shows that no one derivative addressed the scope of products and activities managed by local government. Reviewing these derivatives show that marketing core concepts are relevant to local government, but the complexity lies in the application of marketing where the components of added complexity were derived from the organisational focus, structure and target market definitions. The theoretical process to develop this understanding of local government marketing and to develop a proposed model for the application of local government marketing was derived from the literature relating to the core traditional marketing concepts and the marketing derivatives of public, not-for-profit and social marketing. This review of the literature aided in defining the complexities of local government marketing and helped found the preliminary local government marketing model. With the use of case analysis three local government cases were explored. The first case, a metropolitan local government, used convergent interviewing to determine the factors relevant to the development of the holistic local government marketing model. Confirmatory case analysis was used for the remaining two cases, one semirural and one rural, to refine the developing model. Ultimately, the model was confirmed in principle but minor changes were required to make the model robust across the three cases. From a theoretical perspective the research identified that the marketing derivatives used in the development of the local government marketing model were relevant and further sets local government apart from but integrated with the three derivatives studied. From a practical perspective the development of the local government marketing model goes some way to developing practices that are coordinated and integrated across the local government organisation, thus providing local government with the advantages of having an integrated local government marketing approach.

Full textAbstract:
Recent developments in governmental accounting show a shift from the traditional cash basis towards the accrual basis of accounting. New Zealand and Australia for example, have already adopted accrual accounting for the whole of government reporting. This study aims to describe governmental accounting and reporting in Malaysia; trace its development; identify the factors that play major roles in its development; and seek opinions on the current governmental accounting and reporting practices in Malaysia. The study also examined the variables identified in Lüder's contingency model and the impact these might be expected to have on developments in governmental accounting in Malaysia. The study contributes towards the knowledge and comparative research in governmental accounting by providing a description of governmental accounting in Malaysia and extending the application of Lüder's contingency model to the Malaysian government. The primary research on which this study is based was undertaken through three stages. The first stage consisted of archival research, which examined the practices and development of governmental accounting in Malaysia. The second stage was a questionnaire survey of 77 accountants in the federal and state governments aimed at obtaining opinions on issues related to the current development in accounting and reporting practices and the prospect for accrual accounting in the Malaysian government. The final stage was a series of interviews with senior officers in the Accountant General's Department, the National Audit Department, Treasury, government agencies and professional bodies to gain further insights and supplement the results of the questionnaire survey. Although the basis for governmental accounting in Malaysia is modified cash, accrual accounting was also adopted for internal purposes and for providing financial information required by international creditors. The respondents to the surveys indicated that the current reporting is sufficient for decision-making and accountability. The existence of financial crisis did not exert enough force to create a change in the government accounting system. The societal and administrative structural variables were unfavourable for innovation. The costs to implement a new system would be high, which include costs of training and new infrastructures.

In the United States, there is a widening gap between a citizen's ability to monitor his or her government and the government's ability to monitor a citizen. Average citizens have limited access to important government records, while available information is often illegible. Meanwhile, the government's eagerness and means to oversee a citizen's personal activity is rapidly increasing. As the government broadens internal surveillance, and collaborates with private institutions to access data on the public, it is crucial that we maintain a symmetry of accountability. If we believe the United States should be a government "of the people, by the people, and for the people" it is of central importance to provide citizens with the power to oversee their government. At least as much effort should be spent building tools to facilitate citizens supervising their government as tools to help the government monitor individuals. In this thesis, I discuss the motivations, design, and implementation of Government Information Awareness, a citizen run database on our government. Fundamentally, this system relies on an organizational structure that accepts information from an anonymous population, stores it, and represents it with enough context to maintain legibility. My work in this thesis is offering a framework for a system that could help citizens pool their collective knowledge, and through this process, create a more informed public capable of self-rule.

e-Government concept is an idea of electronic government. It is not only about providing services through the Internet or other electronic media, but also about improving of the state apparatus effectivity and about simplifying of the communication between public and private sectors, as well as among public authorities themselves. This thesis should serve as a basis for understanding to the issues related to e-Government. It provides answers to questions like these: What is e-Government? What does it offer to its users? etc.. It explains the development and the current situation of e-Government in the Czech Republic and in the European Union. An important contribution of the thesis should be the inclusion of a marketing viewpoint. It focuses exclusively on the Czech Republic and on the marketing communications, which are used by the public sector to promote e-Government activities and to provide information.

Full textAbstract:
E-government is a term that in the Czech and world dictionary naturalized. Many international institutions and national entities engaged in e-government, prepares the strategy and monitors its development. Despite the advantages that e-government provides to states and cities, there is no comprehensive and standardized approach that would facilitate the preparation of strategies for both international and local levels of government. The local level is increasingly getting into the spotlight. It is close to citizens and therefore knows their needs. Citizens also come into contact with local levels of government more often. This is the main reason why consider local e-government. Its implementation needs many resources, projects are often implemented in the long term, and therefore the e-government should be approached systematically. This systematic way to make municipal e-government is represented by a local strategy, which is described in this thesis. The goal is to design the structure and content of local e-government strategy for basic local government units, including the process of its creation, and verification of the theoretical findings on example of the village Sudoměřice The main benefits of the work can be seen in the general definition of local e-government strategy, its structure, process and inputs required for its formation. A secondary benefit is the creation of local e-government strategy for the village Sudoměřice, which should verify that the process and structure can be applied to small and medium-sized municipalities.

Hylton, Kevin. "Local government, 'race' and sports policy implementation : demystifying equal opportunities in local government." Thesis, Leeds Beckett University, 2003. http://eprints.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/419/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis takes as its starting point the position that equal opportunities as a concept and practice have been conceptualised and operationalised inconsistently in local government (Nanton 1989, Young 1990, 1992, Bagilhole 1997). As a result the PhD investigated the appreciative contexts and ideologies that underpinned the assumptive worlds of those who influence policy and practice in sport in three local authorities in Northshire. Operationalising a critical ‘race’ standpoint (CRT) the study critically examined the views of senior officers and councillors in local authority sport utilising Young’s (1977, 1979) assumptive worlds framework. This research was based upon a two-phase investigation. The first phase involved a multi-site case study, which took place in North City, West Town and South City between 1996 and 1998. In a similar fashion to Stone’s (1988) single case study investigation into local authority equal opportunities strategies for women employees, they were intended to clarify and crystallise the everyday pressures and assumptions underpinning equal opportunities and ‘race’ within local authority sport. The agenda for the multi-site case study was to interrogate the values and assumptions that underpinned equal opportunities and race-equality for fifteen senior officers and nine councillors. In tandem with the local government case studies the second phase was an ethnography that involved an observation and analysis of the black sports pressure group VBES. The group was followed from its inception in 1996 until it became a significant agent within the sports policy network in Northshire in 2000. VBES contributed the black perspective from outside the local authorities. Consequently, Voluntary Black and Ethnic Sport’s links and associations over the years were a clear barometer of how effective equalities work was developing in specific authorities across the region. Three dominant themes emerged out of the study of the local authorities and evidence of them found expression in the activities of VBES. These themes were the conceptual confusion surrounding equal opportunities and race-equality, the policy tensions caused by individual appreciations and interpretations of policy, and the colour blindness that ignores wider issues of ‘race’. The themes aggregated to represent the core processes that affect each authority’s ability to effectively tackle race-equality in sport. Conceptual confusions, policy tensions and colour-blindness, that enwrapped the assumptive worlds of each authority, effectively led to policy implementation gaps between their promise and practice. The marginalisation of ‘race’ from mainstream provision has resulted in the ambiguity that Young (1990, 1992) warned against and in the lack of leadership that was the focus of Ouseley’s (1990) analysis. Ultimately there are issues that need to be managed in local government about how race-equality in sport is to be translated from policy to practice.

Local governments often rely on collaborations with nonprofit organizations to serve “underheard” communities. These collaborations are often resource-intensive, but not well-analyzed. I engage a case study of City of Eugene's efforts to create "Welcoming Parks" for its Latino community to analyze the effects of these collaborations on the equity of government services and policy outcomes. My analysis is based on qualitative analysis of interviews and observations conducted with government staff, nonprofit leaders, community advocates, and community members. It demonstrates that local governments' reliance on nonprofit collaborations to address the needs of their “underheard" communities can lead to inequitable service and policy outcomes. Rather, representation of “underheard” communities within government may be necessary to produce outcomes. This research paves the way for further empirical studies of informal government-nonprofit collaborations and provides suggestions regarding how local governments should work with their communities to achieve equitable service and policy outcomes.

Despite significant technological advances and increasing investment in e-Government services, user acceptance is still a critical issue and must be understood. This study is to find determinants of user acceptance towards government-to-government e-Government services based on the test of decomposed theory of planned behavior. Through the assistance of governmental staffs who are users of the electronic document system in Taiwan, we used systematic sampling method to collect 186 usable data. The proposed model was strongly supported at all points of measurement and explained up to 66% of the variance in behavioral intention. The important determinants of user acceptance of the electronic document system are perceived usefulness, ease of use, compatibility, training, external influence, interpersonal influence, self-efficacy, and facilitating condition. Finally, important academic and practical implications of these findings are also discussed.

Masters in Public Administration - MPAThe essence of e-government is to link government activities with the advanced technology that the world is having today. This technology has already shown a remarkable job in bringing efficiency in private sector through e-business, e-banking, e-procurement etc.It is, therefore, recommended by this study that government and its agencies could utilize e-government initiatives to bring service delivery closer to citizens. By so doing government officials and citizens would become much closer and perform their duties well and efficiently.The experience from various countries shows that there are various Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and e-government initiatives even in poor countries. In rural areas of Tanzania where electricity has never been thought to reach where illiteracy rates are increasing and where poverty is high, people are using mobile phones for their activities. This is possible as the prices of mobile phones are low and networks are available in such rural part of the country. Tanzania enacted ICT policy in 2003 which, among other things, emphasizes the need to have success in e-government services. Experience on ground, though, reveals that this policy is often not implemented. What seems in the implementation of ICT policy in Tanzania difficult is the lack of political will and the will to agree to change.On the other hand, Tanzanian citizens have been for a long time ready for change. A good example may be advent of the mobile phone industry in the country. Many respondents in this research expressed the need to adopt ICT to advance ordinary people.These respondents recommended that government officials accept change with regard to ICT, to introduce developmental plans and be innovative and creative enough in establishing service delivery programmes. As borne out by this study, ICT can also be used to link the private sector, public sector and service delivery to citizens.Still though, poor countries, apart from having many priorities to contend with, have to acknowledge that the world is changing rapidly and in order to combat poverty more effectively, technology is useful as it makes people understand the trends and changes that the world is witnessing today. Indeed, Tanzania can use ICT to move ahead in e-government because it has a good telecommunication system, a factor that would allow for the success of online services.
