Abstract

This is a study about e-government services provided by Bahrain government. The purpose of this study is improving the efficiency and effectiveness of e-government services in Bahrain. The objectives of the study are: 1. To determine citizens' expectations regarding e-government services in Bahrain. 2. To improve Bahrain’s e-government services which are provided mainly via e-government portal (www.e.gov.bh). 3. To determine and enhance the security services that can be used to secure e-government services.
The instrument that used in the study is a questionnaire. The sample of the study involves 421 citizens who have been selected randomly and it includes both male and females , various ages and different educational levels.

    Technology's Influence On American Culture

    The use of technology in government services “supplies a direct order of magnitude improvement in productivity, efficiencies, cost savings…and empowers business leaders to drive improved services and achieve better results for their customers” (Evans). The fact that the government is implementing such technological practices becomes an example to other individuals and businesses to adopt such tools and become more productive. For this reason, according to the same article by Karen Evans, e-government “convened a high-level interagency task force to determine new ways for the government to provide better services to citizens, business, and governments and to transform itself.” The fact that Americans look forward to evolve the way they provide services, especially their government, is a clear example of how Americans value innovation and implement it on the way they are governed.…

    Possible Benefits of an eGovernment

    The ultimate goal of the E-Government is to be able to offer an increased portfolio of public services to citizens in an efficient and cost effective manner. E-government allows for government transparency. Government transparency is important because it allows the public to be informed about what the government is working on as well as the policies they are trying to implement. Simple tasks may be easier to perform through electronic government access. Many changes, such as marital status or address changes can be a long process and take a lot of paper work for citizens. E-government allows these tasks to be performed efficiently with more convenience to individuals. E-government is an easy way for the public to be more involved in political campaigns. It could increase voter awareness, which could lead to an increase in citizen participation in elections. It is convenient and cost-effective for businesses, and the public benefits by getting easy access to the most current information available without having to spend time, energy and money to get it.…

    Singapore E-Government

    Arun Mahizhnan & Narayanan Andiappan Arun Mahizhnan is Deputy Director, Institute of Policy Studies, Singapore and Narayanan Andiappan is Assistant Manger, Infocomm Development Authority, Singapore Government. This paper draws heavily from resource materials provided by IDA. The views expressed are in the authors' personal capacity. ___________________________________________________________________________ Introduction The term "e-Government" is used in this paper to denote the concept of using Information Communication Technology (ICT) as a means to organise and manage the administrative processes of the Government, especially the interactive processes between the Government and the public. Though ICT has been available widely for more than four decades and many governments around the world have indeed used ICT in certain aspects of government, the concept of eGovernment is relatively new in the sense mentioned above. Only a handful of governments have progressed to a high degree in harnessing the immense power of ICT in re-organising their government infrastructure and in serving their citizenry, and have done so in an efficient and effective manner. e-Government is not mere "technologising" of government. It is not just a matter of automating some manual processes nor is it a simple introduction of technology where none existed. e-Government requires a fundamental re-thinking of governance itself and, as some have suggested, a re-inventing of government. If bureaucracy is the invention of the 19th century, we might say e-Government is the invention of the 21st century. e-Government reexamines the organising principles of bureaucracy and governance, re-defines the objectives and deliverables of government and re-deploys the resources available. In this process of reinvention, the basic intent is both refinement of the old and introduction of the new. eGovernment is NOT throwing the baby with the bathwater. Advent of e-Government in…

Ensure that there is more transparency and accountability in the public sector by making more mechanisms available, and to find ways to improve, capture and increase revenue (fines, license fees and taxes) more efficiently, (Schware and Deane 11).…
