An Empirical Study On The Determinants Of E-Government Maturity: A Fit-Viability Perspective

E-Government development and diffusion have emerged as fundamental issues for both researchers and practitioners across the globe. Understanding electronic government maturity requires an investigation of its antecedents and an evaluation of facilitating factors that influence the progress of online government information, tools, and services from diffusion to eventual adoption. The purpose of this study is to investigate electronic government maturity and its determinants. In particular, we use the Fit-Viability Framework to assess of e-Government Maturity. The results of partial least squares (PLS) analysis indicate that task-technology fit characteristics account for over 59 percent of the variance in fit. Combined with the country’s viable resources, e-government development accounted for 82 percent of the variance in the model. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
