The Contribution of ICT Adoption by Local Governments to Sustainability: Empirical Evidence from Poland

摘要

The model developed in this paper aims to explain how ICT (information and communication technologies) adoption by local governments contributes to sustainability. The model is empirically tested using survey data gathered from local government units in Poland and semistructured interviews with Poland-based experts. The results suggest that ICT quality, information culture, and ICT management of local government units have a significant positive impact on sustainability, whereas outlay on ICT does not have such an impact.
