Abstract

Many studies are exploring fundamental factors of e- government including national cultures of information and communication technology adoption that have been carried out (Kovačić, 2005). While there seems to be substantial growth in the development of e-government initiative, it is not clear that citizen will embrace the use of such services (Carter, et. al. 2003). If countries are going to plan success in the e-government project, they must effectively manage the complex multidimensional process of building citizen trust (Allen et. al. 2004, Al-Omari, et. al. 2006). This research is an e-readiness survey about the impact culture impact culture on e-government readiness. The purpose of this study is to review some academic publications based on the impact of the national culture on e- government readiness, and conclude their results to come out with unified view if possible.
