Paper Abstract:
|
This article seeks to understand the impact of e-government readiness on Ease of Doing Business, Corruption Perception and its relationships the on the attitude toward entrepreneurship and rate of new entrepreneurs. Data was collected from various databases, for the years 2008, 2010 and 2012 using a panel data study design. The study several reports: Doing Business Report from World Bank, E-Government Survey from the United Nations, Corruption Perception Index by Transparence International and GEM data from Global Entrepreneurship Monitor. Nonparametric correlation analysis and other statistical tests were performed. A model based on Azjens Theory of Reasoned Action (with attitude, subjective norms and perceived control of behavior) was employed to predict entrepreneurial intention, and new business rate using the methodology of the partial least squares. The model was able to predict over 57% of the intention of starting a new business, which in turn predicted over 55 % of the rate of new business in the sample of countries and years considered (2008, 2010 and 2012). Future research to understand the real of impact of e-government is suggested. |
