Abstract

This paper introduces some basic knowledge regarding to e-government, which includes, the needs of society, development of e-government, and basic e-government concepts. The main objective of this research study is to illustrate some international development experiences to understand the benefit of e-government. Such experiences may serve as policy guidelines to the successful implementation of e-government to ensure overall development in Saudi Arabia. The study introduces the factors that determine the performance of e-government, and effective suggestions that help for improving e-government performance in K. S. A. The paper will conclude with quantitative analysis of responses obtained from a survey and questionnaire of some citizens and employees in public sector in Saudi Arabia.
