Abstract

Many countries have developed e-governments, but their current statuses differ by country, as demonstrated in the United Nations E-Government Survey. This study focuses on what factors cause these differences. Specifically, it analyzes economic and organizational factors, both of which have not yet been sufficiently considered. Through quantitative and qualitative analyses, the results show that GDP growth and the days required to start a business are important factors, while fiscal balance does not appear to affect e-government development as much. In addition, the existence of allocated ministries or departments that belong to a president or prime minister are also important for e-government progression.

지난 몇 년 동안 많은 나라에서 전자정부 정책을 추진하고 있다. 그러나 UN의 전자정부 평가결과에서도 나타난 것처럼 전자정부 진척도는 국가마다 차이를 보이는 것을 알 수 있다. 본고에서는, 이처럼 국가별로 전자정부 진척도에 왜 차이가 생길까에 주목하고, 경제적 요인과 조직적 요인 등 2개의 요인으로 나누어 정량적·정석적인 분석을 했다. 분석 결과, 전자정부 진척에 미치는 요인 중 경제적인 요인에서는 1인당 GDP성장률, 그리고 경제 활동의 편리성 지표로서 기업 설립에 있어서 필요로 하는 기간이 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 조직적인 요인으로는 대통령이나 총리직속의 부처가 강력한 리더십 하에 전자정부 전략 등을 수립하는 것이 중요한 것으로 나타났다.
