Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to highlight the drivers, barriers, benefits and risks affecting the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) into the e-government and to provide a future research agenda.

Design/methodology/approach

Existing literature examining the relationships between e-government and IoT is scanned and evaluated by conceptualizing the IoT concept in the e-government perspective.

Findings

The study shows that there are drivers to integrate IoT in e-government, such as ensuring the economy, efficiency and effectiveness of government operations, which would largely establish a relationship between the government and the citizens. Furthermore, there are barriers to such integration, given the lack of political will, the appropriate information technology infrastructure, the training of the stakeholders with a focus on the employee and the like.

Originality/value

The integration of IoT in e-government is a novel and weakly explored concept, particularly in the light of new advances such as blockchain in the e-government, which requires further exploration and conceptualization, thereby achieving a shared/common vision and body of knowledge for its further successful and sustainable adoption – to the best of the authors’ knowledge, the current study is one of these initial attempts.

将物联网融入电子政务

目的

本文的目的是强调影响物联网 (IoT) 集成到电子政务中的驱动因素、障碍、收益和风险，并提供未来的研究议程。

设计/方法论/途径

通过从电子政务的角度概念化物联网概念，对研究电子政务和物联网之间关系的现有文献进行了扫描和评估。

发现

研究表明，将物联网整合到电子政务中存在一些驱动因素，例如确保政府运作的经济性、效率和有效性，这将在很大程度上建立政府与公民之间的关系。此外，由于缺乏政治意愿、适当的信息技术基础设施、以员工为重点的利益相关者培训等，这种整合存在障碍。

原创性/价值

物联网在电子政务中的集成是一个新颖且尚未探索的概念，特别是考虑到电子政务中的区块链等新进展，需要进一步探索和概念化，从而实现共享/共同愿景和知识体系为了进一步成功和可持续地采用——据作者所知，当前的研究是这些初步尝试之一。
