Abstract

In the poster proposal, we briefly describe the nature of ongoing doctoral dissertation research and describe why this project may be of particular interest to the conference attendees. This is a qualitative study designed to expand our current view of e-government in small municipalities in Pennsylvania (PA) and it is guided by a combination of sociotechnical theory and grounded theory approach. This research is aimed at discovering whether and/or how existing and emerging ICTs (including social media) facilitate citizen engagement in local government decision-making process.
