E-Governance and Its Relationship to Professional Ethics in the Public Sector: Faculty of Economics, University of Benghazi as a Model

Abstract

This study sought to investigate the relationship between e-governance and professional ethics in the public sector, with the Faculty of Economics at the University of Benghazi as a case study. A descriptive-analytical research design was adopted, complemented by a case study. Data were collected through questionnaires administered to a sample of 107 staff members at the faculty and subsequently analyzed using the SPSS software. The findings revealed a high level of e-governance within the study setting across its three dimensions: "e-participation" ranked first, followed by "e-transparency" and "e-accountability." The findings also indicated a high level of professional ethics among the faculty staff. Moreover, the results demonstrated a strong positive correlation between e-governance and professional ethics.
