Acknowledging the global relevance of controlling corruption, our study contributes to the existing body of literature by exploring the relationship between E-Government (EGOV) and Corruption Control at the EGOV subindices level. Toward this, we draw upon theoretical insights from Resource-Based View (RBV), Media Literacy Theory, Agency Theory, Information Quality, and Transaction Cost Theory to derive a set of testable hypotheses. Using a panel dataset comprising 102 countries, we employ a Linear Mixed Effects (LME) estimation method to thoroughly investigate and uncover the relative effectiveness of EGOV subindices in controlling corruption. Accordingly, we draw implications for theory, praxis and future research.

承认控制腐败的全球相关性，我们的研究通过在 EGOV 子索引级别探索电子政务 (EGOV) 与腐败控制之间的关系，为现有文献做出贡献。为此，我们利用基于资源的观点 (RBV)、媒体素养理论、代理理论、信息质量和交易成本理论的理论见解，得出一组可检验的假设。我们使用包含 102 个国家/地区的面板数据集，采用线性混合效应 (LME) 估计方法来彻底调查和揭示 EGOV 子指数在控制腐败方面的相对有效性。因此，我们得出了对理论、实践和未来研究的启示。
