E-Government, Government Effectiveness, Digital Transformation, Governance Indicators, CS-ARDLAbstract
The digital transformation within public administration is fundamental to improving government effectiveness levels. The study employs CS-ARDL analysis to evaluate the relationship between e-government development and governance indicators (control of corruption, e-government, rule of law, regulatory quality, and voice and accountability) concerning Government Effectiveness in the short and long term. According to the study findings, control of corruption, regulatory quality, and citizen participation demonstrate short-run effects on Government Effectiveness. The combination of quick expansions in the rule of law regulations and previous government efficiency creates obstacles to present-day administrative success, indicating potential administrative flexibility problems. Sustainable improvements in government effectiveness emerge from robust control of corruption combined with high regulatory quality, active voice, and accountability during the long-run analysis. Combining e-government platforms with strict regulations shows inverse relationships to sustainable effectiveness because proper institutional backing and supplementary reform measures are essential for digital tools to produce intended benefits. The findings demonstrate the need for government officials to unite digital initiatives with extensive institutional capacity development because this combination enables e-government programs to create better public service provision and governance outcomes.
