Abstract

The empirical research outlined in the article is aimed at identifying citizens’ views onthe factors of using e-government portals as part of Kazakhstan’s innovative public service. Thearticle has an exploratory nature. This means that the study takes a new approach to developingan empirically proven, citizen-centered model for e-government implementation. Thus, thearticle applies several research methods based on deductive approaches, such as content analysis,interview, survey, and factor analysis. From the point of view of Kazakhstan citizens, such factorsas «Personal Attitude» and «Trust» to the e-government portal through their readiness have asignificant impact on the willingness to use the portal. In this regard, the author has concludedthat the client-orientation factors are more important than the technical factors of citizens’motivation. Overall, the results of the study have focused the work of the government on the key«growth points» of digitalization.
