China's Smart Diaspora Governance: Extraterritorial Social Control Through Digital Platforms

This article investigates the transformative impact of information communication technology on China's extraterritorial governance practices directed at Chinese populations residing overseas. Employing textual analysis on official documents, media reports, and data from qualitative interviews with ethnic Chinese association leaders in Europe, we contend that e-governance and social media platforms, notably Weixin, are instrumental in reshaping transnational space by facilitating enhanced overseas social control. Digital technology enables local Chinese officials to extend domestic security and judicial practices by empowering overseas Chinese association leaders as on-the-ground liaison and information conduits. The implementation of e-government services further amplifies the local party-state's access to, and the collection of data pertaining to Chinese emigrants. Drawing on a case study of Qingtian County in Zhejiang province, we posit that China's diaspora governance needs to be understood in the broader context of China's swiftly evolving digital landscape, where Weixin assumes a pivotal role as a digital infrastructure.

Factors Influencing the Development and Implementation of e-Government Services in China

Factors Influencing the Development and Implementation of e-Government Services in China

Coping with vulnerability: the effect of trust in AI and privacy-protective behaviour on the use of AI-based services

ABSTRACT AI-based service usage can be expanded if individuals perceive that they have the ability to control vulnerabilities and risks (e.g. data leakage, inaccurate information) associated with these technologies. Additionally, the issues of trust in AI and user privacy protection are key discussions in the implementation of e-government services. Accordingly, this study empirically verified the influence of individuals’ online skills, trust in AI, and privacy-protective behaviour on their AI-based service usage. The dataset comprised 48,420 respondents aged 14–90 who were part of a South Korean survey on Internet usage in 2021. The main findings are as follows. First, trust in AI and privacy-protective behaviour positively impact AI-based service usage. Second, online skills do not impact AI-based service usage significantly. These findings offer implications for improving technical issues related to privacy protection and inaccurate information; they can also be used to inform efforts to bridge the digital divide in AI-based service usage. By empirically verifying the impact of an individual's vulnerability control behaviour and digital service utilisation ability in the use of AI-based services, this study suggests developing AI-based services with user trust in mind and implementing smart government policies.

The effect of quality, security and privacy factors on trust and intention to use e-government services

In keeping abreast with the digitized and automated world today, governments of developing and developed nations must provide appropriate e-government services to assure confidence and effective and efficient usage among their citizens. The quality, security, and privacy of current e-government implementation have been impairing the trust and participation of users, in Jordan especially. Hence, this study examined the impacts of quality, security and privacy of e-government services on the intention to use e-government services among Jordanian citizens. Questionnaires were used to gather data, and questionnaire items covered the constructs of quality factors (information quality, system quality, and service quality), perceived security, and perceived privacy as independent variables, and the constructs of trust and intention to use as dependent variables. The study samples comprised academics in Jordanian public universities. The universities were selected using stratified sampling method, while the respondents were chosen using simple random sampling method - 212 respondents were selected. SPSS Version 18 and PLS Version 3.3.6 were used in data analyses and hypotheses testing. Results affirmed a positive and significant link between information quality, system quality, service quality, perceived security, perceived privacy and trust in e-government services, and a positive and significant link between trust in e-government services on intention to use. In e-government services implementation, Jordanian government should take into account the quality factors (information quality, system quality, and service quality), perceived privacy, and perceived security, to increase trust of the citizens and consequently their intention to use the e-government services.

Adoption of e-government services at different maturity levels: a qualitative study in India

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to determine the factors that enable citizens to adopt e-government services at different maturity levels: information, two-way communication, transaction and political participation.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses a grounded approach by conducting semi-structured interviews.FindingsThe study reveals that the factors influencing the adoption of e-government services vary at different levels. It identifies 27 influencing factors. In total, 13 of these factors influence adoption at the information level; 13 at the two-way communication level; 25 at the transactional level; and 16 at the political participation level. Auxiliary facilities, connectedness, corruption avoidance, transparency and fairness, customer support and forced adoption, not commonly discussed as influencing factors for e-government adoption in the extant literature, have been revealed in this study.Research limitations/implicationsThis study uses qualitative research and rather than generalization, the focus is explicitly on obtaining an in-depth understanding. Although the sampling used is sufficient for the purpose of this study and allows reasonable conclusions to be drawn; however, it cannot be considered representative of a vast country like India. Academicians and information systems researchers can use these findings for further research.Practical implicationsThis study advances the understanding of e-government adoption. The findings have potential implications for public administrators and policymakers in successfully designing, developing and implementing e-government services at different maturity levels.Originality/valueExisting e-government adoption theories are of limited scope and do not capture and specify the complete essence of citizens’ adoption characteristics at different levels of e-government services. Hence, a theoretical gap exists, which this study aims to fill.

Organizational Barriers which are Facing Electronic Government Implementation: The Electronic Government Implementation Framework

Investigating e-government specified a few organizational barriers to e-government implementation. This paper proposes a framework for examining how organizational barriers affect the application of e-government. Frame creation depends on three main organizational dimensions. First, the organizational main dimensions, which are related to the culture of the organization, include (control system, strategic direction, integration, and coordination). Second, the organizational main dimensions which are related to the structure of the organization include (adaptability, involvement, integration, agreement, reword, and incentive system). Third, the organizational main dimensions, which are related to Information Technology, include (information transfer, Communication, end-user focus, and employee learning). We initiate those organizational obstacles which are recognized in major electronic government literature linked to the organizational culture effectiveness and dimensions. The conclusion is that the framework is related to understand organizational barriers which prompt the implementation of electronic government. This research is limited to the framework that has been developed based on the lens of e-government literature in the application theory. It is now necessary to test this model in different contexts. This study tries to demonstrate that key that impedes the factors that are associated with the implementation and enhancement of the e-government system. There must be more attention to the progress made in e-government projects quickly and accurately. Thus, there is a strong commitment on the part of each government to implement e-government services.
