The battle against corruption and inefficiency with the help of eGovernment in Bangladesh

The battle against corruption and inefficiency with the help of eGovernment in Bangladesh Corruption and inefficiency of government are considered as major obstacles of economic and social development of Bangladesh. eGovernment is often considered as an effective tool to overcome those challenges through increased transparency and facilitate direct communications. Attitude towards potential benefits of eGovernment often varies between the private sector and public sector professionals. We undertake a questionnaire of the attitudes of government officials and private sector managers towards eGovernment. This study has compared the attitudes of government officials and private sector managers in Bangladesh in relation to a number of questions about the awareness and potential benefits of eGovernment. This research has found that the majority of both private and public sector personnel hold very positive views and high hopes for eGovernment in Bangladesh. More specifically private sector managers were more optimistic than their public sector counterparts of the potential benefits and reduction in corruption associated with the use of eGovernment. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Electronic Government, an International Journal Inderscience Publishers

Abstract

Corruption and inefficiency of government are considered as major obstacles of economic and social development of Bangladesh. eGovernment is often considered as an effective tool to overcome those challenges through increased transparency and facilitate direct communications. Attitude towards potential benefits of eGovernment often varies between the private sector and public sector professionals. We undertake a questionnaire of the attitudes of government officials and private sector managers towards eGovernment. This study has compared the attitudes of government officials and private sector managers in Bangladesh in relation to a number of questions about the awareness and potential benefits of eGovernment. This research has found that the majority of both private and public sector personnel hold very positive views and high hopes for eGovernment in Bangladesh. More specifically private sector managers were more optimistic than their public sector counterparts of the potential benefits and reduction in corruption associated with the use of eGovernment.
