Abstract

This study aims to analyze several legislation barriers and establish regulation policy for the task of e-government push in China. First, a stage model of e-government is proposed according to the previous models of e-government evolution. The five dimensions are: cataloging, transaction, vertical integration, horizontal integration, and e-democracy in the e-government development progress. Corresponding dominant tasks are developed for the dimensions based on literature review and interviews. Second, we test validity and reliability of the dominant tasks based on a national wide survey of 111 government CIOs, and the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) results demonstrated that the constructs are good fit. Third, key legislative points are designed to match the dominant tasks based on the survey of a scholar panel specializing in administrative law. Therefore, a full perspective on legislative policies is provided to meet the needs of e-government development.
