Abstract

Information technologies are rapidly penetrating in the human life which have also triggered the need to change the pattern of services are being offered. Governments are moving towards the establishment of e-Governments, however the recent security breaches have also created a concern regarding the data security and privacy. Therefore the present study is focused to examine the factors which do determine the e-Government development. Further the trust on government has been considered as a moderator. Data were collected from the employees which were working in Thailand Banks. PLS-SEM has been used to test the hypothesized relationships between variables. The results of the study provided a significant positive relationship between all factors namely; economic, social and political factors and e-Government development. Further ICT infrastructure has also been found to be associated with the e-Government development as well. It is believed that findings of the study will be beneficial for the policy makers and will serve as a guideline in broad context. Future directions of the study are also provided.
