Abstract
This paper seeks to analyse factors of e-government development at the local government level in Poland.
The analysis proceeded in three stages. In the first, a survey of the literature on the subject was made and a model of
factors of e-government development was constructed. In the second, the factors distinguished were operationalised:
indicators representing them were constructed. The third stage involved an empirical verification of the model using
partial correlation and multiple regression methods; significant factors of e-government development were distinguished
at the local government level. The analysis was conducted for a group of 18 communes making up the Poznań
agglomeration. It was demonstrated that significant factors of local e-government development in Poland included the
level of socio-economic development, inhabitants’ access to ICT, their attitudes and skills, the size of administrative
units, attitudes of local authorities and leaders, a vision and a strategy of e-government development, human resources
in offices, and the financial situation of a commune.
