Abstract
This study reveals the current challenges facing e-government adoption in the Gulf region. The research identifies how users perceive knowledge issues in e-governments and how different states can deal with the associated problems, by incorporating a comprehensive systematic literature review of all the articles published in the field of e-government in the Gulf region. The study adopted inclusion and exclusion criteria, where it exclusively included articles published from 2019 with peer-reviewed to ensure the relevancy and validity of data. The authors acquired the relevant sources by inputting keywords in the GovInfo.gov database and Google Scholar search engine. After a thorough screening of all the articles selected, the researchers included twenty articles for this study. Out of the twenty, three focused on the entire Gulf region, four concentrated on Saudi Arabia, Five on the United Arab Emirates (UAE), four on Kuwait, and four on Bahrain. The conclusion clarifies that Knowledge sharing in e-government platforms in the Gulf region is poor. The collaboration of the relevant actors is essential to promote the ultimate adoption of e-government services in the area. This study is important as it will educate the Gulf region leaders on the current state of knowledge sharing in e-government agencies. Also, the study will guide policymakers on the best approaches to undertake when developing an e-government system across the Gulf region. Disciplinary: Information Technology.
