A public value perspective for ICT enabled public sector reforms: A theoretical reflection (2012, background): “By focusing on these goals, research in public sector ICT enabled reforms has often marginalized to discuss the broader impacts ICT can have on public sector organizations and the services they deliver (Barca & Cordella, 2006; Cordella, 2007; Dawes, 2009; Fountain, 2001b).”
The Effects of E-Government on Trust and Confidence in Government (2003, background): “Digital government potentially transforms citizen to government interactions in two ways: by improving service delivery, including costs; and by improving communication between citizens and government (Fountain, 2001; Peterson and Siefert 2002).”
Interagency Communication Networks During Emergencies (2006, background): “These changes in communication structures affect primarily problems posed to public organizations by hierarchy and centralization (Fountain, 2001).”
E-government maturity models: Extension of the Layne and Lee model (2006, background): “If so, egovernment is a profound example of this failing to live up to their expectations by ignoring the power of organizational and social institutions.(13,14) Although there is high reliance on the Internet dimension in the technology domain of e-government, older technologies such as electronic ”
The Evolution of E-Government among Municipalities: Rhetoric or Reality? (2002, background): “IT has contributed to dramatic changes in politics (Nye 1999; Norris 1999), government institutions (Fountain 2001), performance management (Brown 1999), red tape reduction (Moon and Bretschneider 2002), and re-engineering (Anderson 1999) during the last decade.”
The Myths of E-Government: Looking Beyond the Assumptions of a New and Better Government (2007, background): “Fountain (2001) points to the so-called legitimacy paradox of public service delivery.”
Social media adoption and resulting tactics in the U.S. federal government (2013, background): “With every wave of new technologies in the public sector, research focuses on the characteris tics of the technology, how it fits into the existing standard operating procedures or how it potentially shapes adopter behavior (Fountain, 2001; Orlikowski, 2000).”
An institutional analysis of an e-government system for anti-corruption: The case of OPEN (2009, background): “Egovernment initiatives are regarded as a powerful schema for enhancing public transparency (along with internal efficiency and quality service delivery) to the public (Fountain, 2001; Brown, 1999).”
E‐Government and the Transformation of Service Delivery and Citizen Attitudes (2004, background): “Government actions are mediated by a range of factors: institutional arrangements, budget scarcity, group conflict, cultural norms, and prevailing patterns of social and political behavior, each of which restricts technology's ability to transform society and politics (Fountain 2001b).”

Challenges and obstacles in sharing and coordinating information during multi-agency disaster response: Propositions from field exercises (2010, background): “Often, a distinction is drawn between organizations and institutions, by which organizations are presupposed to reward effectiveness, efficiency and control over production, while institutional environments reward normative requirements of appropriateness and legitimacy and, in some cases, conformit”

E-Government Integration and Interoperability: Framing the Research Agenda (2007, background): “In her technology enactment framework, Fountain also identifies several drivers and inhibitors of inter-agency interaction and collaboration, such as fear of loss of resources and budget, counteracting reward systems, general resource scarcity, the primacy of public-private over intra-government col”
Leadership and innovation in the public sector (2002, background): “Other case studies of innovation have dealt with overarching themes such as alternative service delivery (Goldsmith, 2001), the application of information technology (Fountain, 2001), and organizational transformation (Barzelay, 1992; Osborne and Plastrik, 2000).”
Understanding the evolution of e-government: The influence of systems of rules on public sector dynamics (2007, background): “…has increased in recent years and researchers are developing theoretical and conceptual models to understand different aspects of e-government (see for example Cresswell & Pardo, 2001; Dawes, Pardo, & Cresswell, 2004; Fountain, 2001; Gil-García & Pardo, 2005; Gupta & Jana, 2003; Moon, 2002).”
