Using secondary data from 99 countries and IT impact literature as the guiding theoretical perspective; we examine the payoffs from e-government in the form of national performance. We do this by initially examining the relationship of e-government development with the first order government process efficiency parameters (resource spending efficiency and administrative process efficiency). Subsequently we examine the association of these first order efficiency outcomes with the two second order dimensions of national performance (reduction of social divide and business competitiveness). Our analysis reveals significant association of \u2018e-government development\u2019 with both the first order \u2018government efficiency parameters\u2019. Further analysis reveals significant relationships of \u2018government efficiency parameters\u2019 with the dimensions of \u2018national performance\u2019. Important role of \u2018national business competitiveness\u2019 in the reduction of \u2018social divide\u2019 is brought forth through post-hoc analysis. Through this research, we make some important contributions which have implications for researchers, practitioners, public administrators, and policy makers.<\/p>","DOI":"10.4018\/jgim.2007100102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,2,15]],"date-time":"2011-02-15T19:23:00Z","timestamp":1297797780000},"page":"20-40","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":73,"title":["E-Government Payoffs"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Shirish C.","family":"Srivastava","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National University of Singapore, Singapore"}]},{"given":"Thompson S.H.","family":"Teo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National University of Singapore, Singapore"}]}],"member":"2432","container-title":["Journal of Global Information Management"],"original-title":[],"language":"ng","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.igi-global.com\/viewtitle.aspx?TitleId=3659","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,1]],"date-time":"2022-06-01T19:36:57Z","timestamp":1654112217000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/services.igi-global.com\/resolvedoi\/resolve.aspx?doi=10.4018\/jgim.2007100102"}},"subtitle":["Evidence from Cross-Country Data"],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2007,10,1]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"4","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2007,10]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4018\/jgim.2007100102","relation":{},"ISSN":["1062-7375","1533-7995"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1062-7375","type":"print"},{"value":"1533-7995","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2007,10,1]]}}}
