Abstract

This study examines the role of e-governance in enhancing administrative efficiency, transparency, citizen participation, and data management within the Rivers State Ministry of Information between 2014 and 2024. Anchored in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the research investigates how perceived usefulness and ease of use affect the adoption and effectiveness of digital platforms in public administration. The study employed a survey research design, targeting a sample of 125 staff members, selected through purposive sampling from a population of 192. Data were collected using a validated structured questionnaire based on a four-point Likert scale and analyzed using percentage mean scores and standard deviation with the aid of SPSS. Findings reveal that digitization of government processes significantly improves public service delivery. Digital platforms were found to enhance transparency and accountability, reduce corruption, and foster responsible resource management. Furthermore, e-governance tools were effective in improving citizen engagement, participation, and communication with government agencies. Additionally, improved data accessibility and management were shown to positively influence decision-making and policy formulation. The study concludes that the adoption of e-governance tools has positively transformed administrative processes, aligning with global trends in digital governance. To sustain these gains, the study recommends expanding digitization efforts, auditing and securing digital platforms, promoting citizen-inclusive governance through technology, and investing in data infrastructure and capacity building. The Technology Acceptance Model provided a useful framework for understanding the dynamics of e-governance adoption in a developing public administration context.

E-Governance and Local Government Administration: An Assessment of Yenagoa Local Government Area, Bayelsa State

This research investigates the impact of e-governance on administrative efficiency and service delivery in Yenagoa Local Government Area, Bayelsa State, Nigeria. The primary objective was to assess the impact of digital technology on the efficiency of local government administration in the study area. This broad objective informed two interrelated specific objectives of evaluating the challenges affecting the implementation of e-governance for administrative efficiency and determining if e-governance wields a potential for enhancing service delivery in the study area. Anchored on the theory of technological determinism, this study employed a mixed-methods approach combining questionnaire-generated data and interviews of local government staff officials and citizens with secondary data from relevant publications. Findings indicated that while e-governance wields a potential for improving administrative efficiency, there were significant barriers, such as inadequate infrastructure, limited digital literacy, and resistance to change among public sector employees. The study concluded that strategic investments in infrastructure and capacity-building initiatives are essential for maximizing the benefits of digital technologies. Recommendations include fostering stakeholder engagement and developing tailored training programmes to enhance digital literacy among local government employees and citizens. This research contributes valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities of digital technology in public administration, particularly local government administration, thereby informing future policy and practice.

E-Governance and public service delivery in Pakistan: Enhancing efficiency, transparency, and citizen satisfaction

E-governance is one of the significant methods for modernization and enhancement of public administration and public service delivery. The present study has explored e-governance in increasing efficiency, transparency and satisfaction among citizens in Pakistan. The design of a quantitative cross-sectional survey was used and 300 citizens of Pakistan were selected for data collection with experience of using digital government services. The data has been collected by a structured questionnaire with the help of five point likert scale. The relationships between e-governance, public service efficiency, transparency and citizen satisfaction were analysed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, reliability analysis and multiple regression. The results revealed that citizens' satisfaction had a mean score of 3.72 (SD = 0.73) public service efficiency 3.69 (SD = 0.76), transparency 3.64 (SD = 0.74), and e-governance 3.78 (SD = 0.71). The correlations of e-governance with public service efficiency, transparency and citizen satisfaction were all positive and significant (0.641, p < .001; 0.587, p < .001; 0.673, p < .001, respectively). The regression models accounted for 41.1%, 34.5% and 45.3% of the variance in efficiency, transparency, and citizen satisfaction, respectively. The study found that a good e-governance can facilitate more efficient, transparent and citizens-oriented public services. Further strengthening of digital infrastructure, Cyber Security, institutional coordination, digital literacy and designing platform for the users can enhance the performance of digital public services in Pakistan.
