E-GOVERNMENT AND ITS INFLUENCE ON MANAGERIAL EFFECTIVENESS: A SURVEY OF FLORIDA AND TEXAS CITY MANAGERS

This study examines the impact of the major factors that explain electronic government or e-government adoption in relation to perceived managerial effectiveness in the United States. Survey results from Texas and Florida city managers suggest that external pressures, demand for e-government, number of online payments for services, and more resources devoted towards e-government are the best predictors of e-government's potential for enhancing managerial effectiveness. The results of this study imply that more survey research on management and e-government should be conducted on the possible relationship between utilization of e-government and demand of citizens. City managers in this study viewed e-government as a tool for enhancing their managerial effectiveness.
