Telecommunication Infrastructure, Governance, and E-government Development: a Global Perspective
نویسنده
چکیده
Drawing from the resource complementarity perspective of the resource-based view of a firm; this study examines the complementary role of governance dimensions namely, voice and accountability, political stability, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, rule of law, and control of corruption on the relationship between telecommunication infrastructure in a country and its e-government development. Based on publicly available archival data from 178 countries, our results provided support for the hypothesized model. Specifically, while political stability, government effectiveness, and rule of law moderated the relationship of telecommunication infrastructure with egovernment development in the positive direction; voice and accountability, and control of corruption moderated the relationship negatively. Further, the relationship between telecommunication infrastructure and e-government development was not contingent on regulatory quality. Our findings contribute to the theoretical discourse on e-government development by understanding the complementary role of governance, and provide indications to practice on managing e-government development by enhancing governance, thereby leveraging the effect of telecommunication infrastructure on egovernment development.
