Abstract
The phenomena why open government implementation struggles and falls short of expectations is still unsolved. Moreover, only little empirical scientific knowledge on the expected benefits and risks of open government implementation exists. Against this background, this study presents an exploratory expert survey of 34 public administration officers in Germany that deal with open government issues in their municipalities. The conducted online survey examines positive and negative aspects of open government implementation, which we derived from a systematic review of the literature. This approach follows the underlying assumptions that the perception of public administration officers on open government implementation is significantly affected by the anticipated benefits and hindrances and that a better understanding of the influence on the perception of responsible employees allows to draw conclusions regarding open government difficulties. Despite the study's straightforward academic and public management implications, further empirical research is needed to assess the derived results.
