Bridging Culture and Technology: A Study of E-Government Adoption

The goal of this study was to check the direct and moderating effects of the dimensions of the national culture, based on the Cultural Dimensions Theory, about the offer of E-Government services. The direct effect of the technological infrastructure installed in the countries on their E-Government levels was also tested. Data from 55 countries were analyzed and indicated technological infrastructure and individualism are direct antecedents of E-Government. This research shows policymakers and practitioners should prioritize the enhancement of technological infrastructure and consider the cultural orientation of individualism in their strategies to promote the adoption and efficiency of E-Government services.
