Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

With the advancement of technology all levels of government in developed countries have implemented e-government initiatives. More recently many developing countries have experimented with and implemented e-government functions with varying degrees of success. Pressured for transparency, accountability, effectiveness and efficiency, governments must find new ways to respond to the challenge of improving communication with citizens and improving overall organizational performance. E-government offers one approach to improved information sharing, service delivery, and interactions with citizens and businesses.

E-government research has already addressed issues of usability, accessibility, e-democracy, policies, public attitude, service delivery, data management, etc. While published research has shared lessons learned and successes in e-government
implementation, it is now time to summarize and reflect on what we have learned and explore new e-government research opportunities. In this special issue we welcome papers that utilize a variety of research methodologies, including both quantitative and qualitative approaches. This special issue seeks scholarly papers related to but not limited to the following topics:

  • government-to-citizens
  • government-to-business
  • government-to-government

In the past few years, e-government has been a topic of much interest among those excited about the advent of Web 2.0 technologies. This paper reviews the recent literature concerning Web 2.0, social media, social networking, and how it has been used in the public sector. Key observations include literature themes such as the evolution of social media case studies in the literature, the progress of social media policies and strategies over time, and social media use in disaster management as an important role for government. Other observations include the lack of a tangible goal for e-government, and the idea that significant change is still needed in government culture, philosophy of control, and resource management before broad sustainable success can be achieved in the use of social media.

The Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (MBNQA) is well known to assess quality and business processes in a variety of sectors, including government. In this study, we investigate the relationship between aspects of the MBNQA’s leadership triad and knowledge management in an e-government context. Specifically, we survey 1,100 employees of a medium-sized city government in the United States to investigate the relationship between leadership triad components, leadership strategic planning, and customer/market focus, with knowledge management. Our results show that these components are significantly related to knowledge management and are important in the delivery of e-government applications to the citizenry. Full article
