E-GOVERNMENT AS A TOOL FOR THE EFFICIENT MANAGEMENT OF PUBLIC RESOURCES IN LA UNIÓN PARISH ; E-GOBIERNO COMO HERRAMIENTA PARA LA GESTIÓN EFICIENTE DE RECURSOS PÚBLICOS DE LA PARROQUIA LA UNIÓN

DOI: https://doi.org/10.46296/yc.v9i16.0597 This research studied the implementation of e-government as a tool for the efficient management of public resources in the parish of La Unión, located in the canton of Jipijapa. The main objective is to evaluate how the use of digital technologies can optimize budget execution and improve project management within this local context. The research adopts a mixed approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with members of the Parish Decentralized Autonomous Government La Unión to obtain in-depth perspectives on the implementation of e-government, and surveys were conducted with active taxpayers to collect data on perception and satisfaction regarding the digital tools used. The results reveal a significant recognition of the potential of e-government to improve efficiency in budget management and transparency, with 85% of respondents supporting this idea. However, there was a divided perception on the concrete effectiveness of e-government in project execution, with 59% of positive responses, where they agree. This suggests that, although e-government has a potential positive impact, its implementation has not yet fully shown its effects in the parish. The findings highlight the need for improved communication and training around e-government to maximize its benefits in local governance. Keywords: Transparency, budget, efficiency, administration, citizen participation. ; DOI: https://doi.org/10.46296/yc.v9i16.0597 Resumen La presente investigación realizada estudió la implementación del e-gobierno como herramienta para la gestión eficiente de recursos públicos en la parroquia La Unión, situada en el cantón Jipijapa.
