E-Government Awareness and Adoption by the Residents: A Quantitative Analysis on North Cyprus

Background

The e-government concept came to light with the advent of government websites in the late 90s (Mittal et al., 2013). The web provides transparency in functioning, which gives the potential to supply a corruption-free government (Saxena, 2017). It is vital to embark on the use of technology across governmental structures. Computers were being used independently for specific purposes which were causing isolation and disconnection among the governmental units. ICT has such a high potential that, using it only for automation would be inefficient (Dwivedi, Papazafeiropoulou, Gharavi & Khoumbati, 2006).
