Reengineering the open government concept: An empirical support for a proposed model

The second objective of this work is to validate this proposed model by utilizing an empirical test using confirmatory factor analysis. The research model proposed tried to predict Jordanians' intentions to use e-government services using the four proposed dimensions of open government. Empirical results supported our premise and indicated a good fit of dimensions and acceptable loadings on each dimension. Also, the regression test predicted the intention to use e-government websites with an acceptable coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.409). Empirical results indicated a significant prediction of intention to use e-government website by all dimensions proposed with more weight for information accountability. The reengineered model was supported by the data and calls for more validation by researchers.
