Abstract
Like the evaluation of all other information systems initiatives, the
evaluation of e-government in both theory and practice has proven to
be important and complex. The importance of e-government
evaluation is due to the enormous investment put in by governments
for delivering e-government services and to the considerable pace of
growth in the field of e-government. However, despite the importance
of the evaluation of e-government services, the literature shows that
e-government evaluation is still an immature area in terms of
development and management. The main aim of this article is to
explore various theories and models which have been used in the
developing countries context to evaluate e-government adoption.
Developing countries suffer from poor citizen utilization of egovernment
initiatives. An assessment of various theories and
models for e-government adoption in developing countries may
positively contribute to enhancing government understanding of the
factors that influence citizen utilization of e-government systems.
Moreover, the understanding of these models can be used as means
for providing valuable feedback for the planning of future egovernment
initiatives in the developing countries.
