Abstract

Development and application of information technology in public organizations with the aim of renewal and reform, has taken an increasing speed all over the world. Thereby Iranian government officials have rushed to close the gap created between Iran and other developing countries in the field of information technology. It seems that due to mentioned hastiness, imitation and copying foreign models in terms of institutional and normative, have the greatest impact on Iranian electronic government rather than logical and technical factors. The purpose of this qualitative study is to present a model on factors affecting electronic government’s policies from the formation stage to evaluation, based on the foundations of Civil Service Management law, by content analysis. In this regard 11 open interviews with IT experts were performed. Data analysis was done using software MAXQDA and by open coding process, 19 abstract concepts in the form of 6 main categories were extracted.
