Abstract

The aim of this study was to explore the underlying technological factors and e-government readiness constructs among the technical staff at ministry of communications and informatics in Benghazi city and Tripoli city in Libya and to validate the psychometric properties of e-government readiness constructs in terms of their reliability, convergent and discriminant validity. The sample consisted of 380 respondents and questionnaires were sent out to technical staff at Ministry of Communications and Informatics. The returned survey instruments 369, out of which, 16 where not com filled up as required and disregarded from data capture with exploratory factor analyses. The results yielded 8 factors which are: Computer resources i.e. software and hardware, Data centres, security, technological expert support, operational, Communication and e-government readiness. The study revealed that the construct of technological factors and e-government readiness is a valid and reliable multidimensional one. The findings are therefore useful as evidence for making informed decisions for those involved in developing e-government system in Libya and also for informing future research in this area.
