TY  - CHAP
AB  - While prior studies offer significant insights into the extent of EGS (Electronic Government Service) implementation from productivity-transparency trade-off perspectives, critical questions remain about how transparency of government department/agency facilitates the implementation timing of EGS. Such questions are important because transparency is an explicit indicator to outsiders, such as IT (Information Technology) vendors, to help them plan their marketing strategies in advance. Drawing insights from signaling and upper echelon theories, this research contributes to the electronic government literature by proposing that the government department/agency performance transparency is closely aligned to its timing of EGS implementation. Moreover, this relationship varies as it depends both on the size of the government department/agency and the level of tyranny of its leader or head. Empirical findings indicate that, in order to gain a competitive advantage, a tyrannical manager in a smaller organization accelerates the speed of IT implementation to use it as a strategic weapon to elicit favorable public response. This research, thus, complements and extends extant knowledge by exploring the key roles of both a government department/agency performance transparency and its tyrannical leadership on the timing of EGS implementation.
