Enterprise Architecture (EA) plays an important role as an enabler of digital transformation with strategic objectives, especially in digital government initiatives. Despite its potential, EA implementation in the public sector faces challenges such as complex organizational structures, diverse stakeholder interests, and regulatory constraints. This study aims to systematically review the literature to identify critical success factors that influence the success of EA implementation in government and propose a comprehensive maturity evaluation methodology. Using a systematic literature review of 48 studies published between 2018 and 2024, this research identifies key factors such as strategic alignment, governance, human resource capabilities, and stakeholder engagement as critical to achieving effective EA implementation. It also introduces an EA maturity evaluation model designed for the public sector to assess and improve EA practices. The citizen-centric aspect is the novelty of this research where the factors in this aspect characterize the implementation of EA in the digital government sector. The findings provide insights and academic contributions in expanding the study of EA in the public sector as well as providing practical guidance for government agencies to improve their EA maturity so that accelerated digital transformation can be achieved.

Poverty is among the significant issues that pakistan has been facing for the past few years and if this issue will remain unattended, the future of pakistan is in danger. Microfinance is a very powerful tool to alleviate poverty and empower women and impoverished populations. In pakistan, there are numerous non-governmental organizations (ngos), microfinance institutions (mfis), microfinance banks (mfbs), and other welfare trusts that working on poverty alleviation and aspiring to achieve their aims and targets. The state bank of pakistan (sbp), pakistan microfinance network (pmn), pakistan poverty alleviation fund (ppaf), and other organizations are also striving to attain the united nations' millennium development goals (mdg) and thereby contribute to the economic development of the nation. The present study aims to identify the contribution of the government and ngos in eliminating poverty considering the case study of punjab, pakistan. The questionnaire survey was used for conducting this analysis where certain statements have been used to measure each variable on the likert scale. After the identification of its reliability and validity, the questionnaire was used for the final data collection, which has been further used for the analysis. The findings have revealed that the growth rate of borrowers and training significantly influences poverty. Furthermore, ngos have been found to have a significant moderating role between microbusiness and poverty. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Contribution/value-add: Provides a comprehensive view of employees’ perceptions of wise leadership and how personal characteristics influence these perceptions.

The digital public sector differs significantly from the „classical“ public sector. Its virtual existence makes its association with real phenomena and processes particularly difficult, and with that, its theoretical understanding is also difficult. This necessitates a strategic view to understand the processes, shaping the still emerging digital public sector. For this purpose, through a descriptive, comparative, and rationalistic approach, a group of interrelated notions and the change as a result of digitalization in the relations between them are examined, which necessitates the need for a new understanding of what they actually mean in the new conditions. The publication presents part of the scientific results of the research project „Digital Public Sector“ (NID 21-2020, UNWE), also parts of various previous studies by the same authors.

the present research aimed to test the significant relations between information technology Competence represented in two dimensions: it knowledge and it skills on the one hand and customer satisfaction represented in two dimensions: on employees and on services on the other hand, as well as the role of customers' perception of service quality represented in four dimensions: Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance and Empathy in this relationship, The relationships between the variables are suggested by A theoretical framework, deriving four hypotheses examined through structural equation modeling Applied on government sector, The findings refuted the direct relationship between information technology Competence and Customer's satisfaction, but supported the direct relationship between information technology Competence and Customer Perception of service quality, As well as the findings showed a positive correlation between customer perception of service quality on the one hand, and Customer satisfaction on the other hand, the results also showed an improvement in the strength of the relationship between information technology Competence and Customer's satisfaction through the mediating role of customer perception of service quality as intermediate variables, finally and according to these findings the government sector not only makes it easier for employees and management to conduct their jobs, but it also improves their efficacy and efficiency in doing so, which lowers customer concerns about possible paper and document loss.

For decades, the construction industry has contributed significantly to China's economic growth. The heavy energy consumption inevitably leads to the release of large amounts of carbon emissions. Improving energy efficiency has been a crucial solution for mitigating the environmental impacts while boosting its green economy in the construction industry. Measuring the energy efficiency in the construction industry considering the quality of government sector is still limited. Using panel provincial data in China from 2011 to 2020, this paper proposes a two-stage dynamic data envelopment analysis (DEA) framework integrating the government sector with the production sector in the construction industry, and calculates energy efficiency. The spatial Durbin model is used to analyze the driving forces of energy efficiency. The research findings include (1) the energy efficiency in the eastern region is higher than that in the central and western regions. The mean values of energy efficiency in the eastern, central, and western regions are 0.42, 0.34, and 0.37. (2) Even though governance efficiency is lower than production efficiency, there is a positive correlation between governance efficiency and production efficiency with a correlation coefficient of 0.48. Improving governance efficiency is a significant step to increase the production efficiency and further increase energy efficiency of the construction industry. (3) Digital transformation has a positive effect on governance efficiency but has no effect on production efficiency. The government-production nexus framework provides implications for clarifying the role of government intervention in improving energy efficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We investigate how factors beyond an individual's control determine the youth's status in the labour market. The factors include gender, age, residential areas, parental education, and parental occupation. We differentiate between three main labour market categories, which are employed, unemployed, and inactive. Additionally, how the mentioned factors determine the allocation of employed people among various sectors is also examined. We use descriptive statistical techniques, regressions, and the propensity score matching model based on the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Madagascar data gathered from the school-to-work transition survey carried out by the International Labour Organization in 2015. The descriptive statistical results show that the educational attainment of the youth and their parents is disappointing, and most of the youth engage in private or family businesses. The propensity score matching technique results discover that inequality of opportunity can be a causal explanation for the youth's labour market status in both countries. The regression approach shows little explanatory power, which implies that youth's status in the labour market in these countries is mainly attributed to the effort-based inequality and not inequality of opportunity.

As the world is becoming more digital, private companies are now using cutting-edge technologies to streamline their operations and increase public trust. In countries like Pakistan, where the government is in charge of most public services, technological adoption is premature for a number of reasons. This study identified the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in five different management components, such as demand management, procurement management, logistics management, disposal management, and risk management which contribute to enhancing overall supply chain management performance in the public sector. Research found that bureaucracy is the crucial adoption barrier that existed in Pakistan's public distribution systems, with AI being the most popular technology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to analyze the first hand data regarding intimacies between government entities and government audit institution of Pakistan, to see its impact on the quality. Design/Methodology/Approach: Qualitative research design is used to explore the concept base on theoretical saturation technique. Findings: The results revealed by default presence of social ties among interactive agents. It further explores indirect relationship between audit quality and social interactions in the presence of petty corruption due to familiarity, unwarranted mutual trust and favoritism however this relationship is shifted toward direct relationship in the presence of material corruption due to fear of losing good reputation, loss of job, fear of departmental inquiry, threat of floating your weaknesses before your rival clique. Implications/Originality/Value: The results presented in this paper should therefore be of great interest to government, regulators and standard-setters charged with developing accounting standards to improve the audit quality of reporting information related to existing government auditing setup.
