Abstract
E-government has developed the intention of achieving smart governance, and adoption of E-government has been recommended to eradicate corruption because it is perceived to be transparent and accountable. The purpose of this study is to examine whether the implementation of E-government in emerging economies is beneficial in eradicating corruption. The findings of this study, which employed a quantitative approach, demonstrated the significant ramifications of e-government in combating corruption. In Bangladesh and Pakistan, the implementation of E-government attempts to enhance behavioral intention by encouraging transparency and accountability in the fight against corruption. The modified version of the TAM model from previous research is proposed in this study. A total of 680 responses were examined using frequency, reliability, correlation, and multiple regression analysis, and Sobel test was employed for mediation analysis. The study finds substantial evidence for the positive role of E-government in terms of corruption reduction, with transparency and accountability also being impacted positively as mediators between E-government and the behavioral intention of users, and behavioral intention mediating the relationship between E-government and corruption reduction. Furthermore, the findings demonstrate that E-government services, transparency, and accountability are significant predictors of corruption reduction. Finally, the paper illuminates E-government’s success in reducing corruption, which can pave the way for future research, and policy implications to government for corruption eradication are recommended.
