Abstract

Number of Egyptian researchers discussed the e-government issue in the context of local channels. This research is conducted to add a better understanding for citizen's perception regarding their e-government web portal. In addition, the research will illustrate the relation between ease of doing business and e-government services usage. The lack of similar research conducted in Middle Eastern countries in general and in Egypt in particular is a good reason to conduct this research. This paper presents the results of a survey on e-participation in Egypt and what is the perception of Egyptian citizens regarding the e-government. This survey will measure the e-government services in Egypt; this will be through a questionnaire using The Electronic Government Satisfaction Model Horan and Abhichandani (2006).
