  • E-governance a new challenge after e-government [Elektronski vir]
    Berce, Jaro ; Lanfranco, Sam ; Vehovar, Vasja
    The e-Government, using technology to support government processes, are mainly well elaborated. In the presented paper we argue that it is the time to study (again) also other important issues that ... govern modern government. Changes in information and communication technology (ICT) require continuous modifications in contemporary organizations and in corresponding work processes. Previous 'paper oriented' work activities have now been replaced by modern ICT supported processes. The integration of new technologies is highly correlated with the emerging principles of knowledge management (KM) and learning organization (LO) culture. The idea of KM expands in many directions, from the local and regional level as Communities of Practice, to within the private sector as a Corporate Knowledge management, or Knowledge and Innovation management. LO behaviour, and LO culture, relate to the notion that organizations, and the people within them, continually expand, and access, their collective knowledge and skills in the pursuit of desired outcomes, or organizational deliverables. However, the interactions of these two concepts with ICT are rarely studied. This paper addresses this complex issue by first conceptualizing the notions of ICT, knowledge management and the learning organization. It analyses their interrelation and probable impacts on e-Governance. Here we understand the public governance as the strategic exercise of economical, political and administrative authority to manage the nation's affairs at all levels. For our work we start with the all encompassing OECD role for governance and explore how ICTs enable and deepen KM and LO behaviour. Within this context, we primarily investigated a theoretical model to understand how KM, ICT and LO culture can work together, to organize government in pursuit of improving to achieve good e-Governance (promote inclusion, democracy, etc.). Then, the conceptual model was tested onthe data obtained from a survey among Slovenian public organizations. The conceptual model was estimated by normal theory maximum likelihood using the LISREL 8.51 program (Jöreskog, 2000). The main finding is that - beyond the impact of ICT - the application of knowledge management principles considerably supports and stimulates e- Governance. For an effective e-Governance a vision for systemic change toward LO, throughout the whole organization, is called for.
