Proposing a Conceptual Model for Cloud Computing Adoption in the Libyan E-Government

Abstract

The Race towards digital transformation, many developed countries are prone to integrate cloud technology for improving their E-government services in delivering automated and efficient services to their citizens, especially in the critical period of Covid-19 pandemic. But developing countries are lagging in the presence of high failure rate of e-government projects and Libya is one of them which is unable to deliver efficient e-government services to all citizens. To fill this research gap, the current study proposes a model based on Trust theory and the Technology Organization Environment (TOE) framework for investigating the key factors in technology, environment, organization and trust perspectives. This is a position study that presents ongoing research. The study provides guidelines to adopt the cloud computing in Libyan government that would enhance the e-government services in terms of accessibility, efficacy and transparency as well as allowing overall public engagement in entire government procedures.
