No / After more than a decade of comprehensive research work in the area of electronic government (e-government), no attempt has yet been made to undertake a systematic literature review on the costs, opportunities, benefits and risks that influence the implementation of e-government. This is particularly significant given the various related challenges that governments have faced over the years when implementing e-government initiatives. Hence, the aim of this paper is to undertake a comprehensive analysis of relevant literature addressing these issues using a systematic review of 132 studies identified from the Scopus online database and Google Scholar together with a manual review of relevant papers from journals dedicated to electronic government research such as Electronic Government, an International Journal (EGIJ), International Journal of Electronic Government Research (IJEGR) and Transforming Government: People, Process, and Policy (TGPPP). The overall review indicated that although a large number of papers discuss costs, opportunities, benefits and risks, treatment of these issues have tended to be superficial. Moreover, there is a lack of empirical studies which can statistically evaluate the performance of these constructs in relation to the various e-government systems. Therefore, this research would help governments to better analyse the impact of costs, opportunities, benefits and risks on the success of e-government systems and its pre-adoption from an implementation perspective.

No / This research seeks to measure citizen satisfaction with the electronic Prescription Prepayment Certificate (PPC) offered by National Health Service (NHS) in the United Kingdom (UK). The paper reports on the findings of a survey of over 500 users of the NHS PPC service. Satisfaction is measured using the four dimensions from the COBRA framework (Osman et al. (2011) [1]) which comprise the cost, opportunity, benefits and risk assessment constructs. This is the first study to measure citizen satisfaction with the electronic PPC in the UK across these constructs. The results show that most citizens using the PPC electronic service are satisfied with this service and that the service meets their essential needs. The paper also presents the results of qualitative feedback obtained from the participants that can be used to determine the areas that need further improvement in the current electronic PPC service and potential influence on user satisfaction.

Yes / The Internet has become a vital part of our daily lives in the last two decades. However, as a double-edged sword, such reliance has increased the chance of being targeted by various cybercrimes, including cyberstalking. Furthermore, when the crime transcends into the real world, it can result in rape and even murder. Hence, the MYStalk Alert application aims at helping and facilitating the victims of stalking and victims of harassment generally to understand, cope, and document their experience on the crime for a compelling trail of evidence in the criminal justice process. This Application aims to remedy the circumstances by giving access to users to the features that make it easy to document the evidence and provides them with available information on the crime and the legal landscape of stalking in Malaysia. Furthermore, MYStalk Alert also focused on the user’s physical and psychological by providing self-assessment and tips for the wellbeing including mental health test under the feature of victims’ support. The Application is a first of its kind in Malaysia and aims to support victims of stalking in getting the justice they deserved. The preliminary findings revealed contradictory views on the effective response of the criminal justice system towards cyberstalking, which explains the under-reporting of such crime. Significantly, the findings illustrate that the current Malaysian legal framework on cyberstalking is deficient in protecting cyberstalking victims, which calls for an urgent need for a review in the Malaysian laws. / This work was supported by research grant FRGS/1/2019/SSI10/UITM/02/2 by the Research Management Centre, UiTM Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia.

O Assédio Moral e os riscos psicossociais tem sido fonte de estudos de diversos pesquisadores no século XXI, mas ainda é pouco abordado pela Saúde do Trabalhador. Assédio Moral é tema complexo, de difícil abordagem, pois está inserido em um âmbito da violência caracterizada pela percepção muitas vezes apenas da própria vítima. Nesta pesquisa estabelecemos os objetivos de identificar a existência de Riscos Pscicossociais e Assédio Moral e suas repercussões entre os docentes de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior, além dos objetivos específicos de :identificar características do trabalho dos docentes, identificar a existência de riscos psicossociais/pressão no ambiente de trabalho, identificar as alterações à saúde dos docentes provocadas pelos riscos psicossociais/pressão no trabalho. O estudo foi de abordagem quantitativa, transversal e descritivo do qual foi apresentado o instrumento de pesquisa um questionário de 26 perguntas com questões sociodemográficas e ocupacionais, além de 2 questões norteadoras sobre os riscos psicossociais e o assédio moral baseadas na literatura existente. Constituíram-se como sujeitos da pesquisa uma amostra de 54 docentes, 62,79% em relação ao total, sendo em sua maioria 92% do sexo feminino, 64,80% casados e 37,03% entre as idades de 40 à 49 anos,do qual 81,50% graduados em enfermagem, em sua maioria formados nas décadas de 70 e 80.dos quais 63% estão em cargos de Professor Doutor com regime de trabalho de dedicação exclusiva, recebendo entre 12 à 14 salários mínimos vigentes,e destes 50 % admitiram exercício de cargos administrativos, dos quais também informaram exercer cargos de Assessoria e Consultoria. A maioria informou que sua opção pela academia foi devido á realização pessoal e a probabilidade de trabalhar com pesquisa onde destacaram maior realização profissional ao ministrar aulas e menor ao exercer trabalhos administrativos. Destes sujeitos 94,4% admitiram à existência de riscos psicossociais em seu ambiente de trabalho atribuídos à sobrecarga de trabalho, carga mental intensa, estresse, tempo, relações inter-pessoais, excesso de responsabilidade e falta de planejamento, 92,60% admitiram sofrer pressão no trabalho, e destes 87% disseram sentir a saúde afetada, relataram queixas de maior incidência como: estresse, ansiedade, insônia/dificuldades no sono, cefaléia e gastrite. Questionados sobre o Assédio Moral a maioria 38% disseram ser um problema comum na universidade, dos quais 22% disseram ter sido vítima contraponto 22% que alegaram nunca ter sido vítima de Assédio Moral, enquanto 32% disseram ter conhecimento de um colega que sofreu. Foram descritos vários casos dos quais muitos coincidentes com a literatura. Evidenciou-se que o local de trabalho está caracterizado pelo aspecto de demanda excessiva, pressão e competição que afeta à saúde dos docentes e propicia o ambiente propício a existência de riscos psicossociais e do Assédio Moral. / Psychosocial risks are constituted under factors or risks agents´ presence, at laboral environment, which alter workers´ wellness situation, resulting in their health damage. Among many psychosocial risks, we can find psychological violence or moral harassment that are understand as the intentional power use which are used against a person or a group, causing them: physical, mental, spiritual or moral alterations. This study intended to identify, among college professors, the existence of psychosocial risks in their laboral activities, in order to find out moral harassment occurrence in their laboral environment, and its repercussion between them. The study was transversal, descriptive and had a quantitative approach. It was developed in a public college institution; had 54 subjects as sample, which answered a previously validate data insurance form. As result, it was verified that these subjects are, in their majority, female, married, graduated between the 70´s - 80´s, PhD - who are working in full lecturing and research regime and receive as payment, an amount of 12 to 14 Brazilian wages. This majority admitted the psychosocial risks presence in their laboral environment, being reported as main factors: laboral excess, intense mental tasks, stress, work pressure, among other factors. All the presented health alterations are is, in their majority: stress, anxiety, sleeping disorder, migraine and gastritis. When inquired about the moral harassment existence, most subjects affirmed being a common problem at college, describing many coincidently situation in concomitance with the consulted literature. This harassment occurred in a horizontal and descendent form. College environment is a place where psychological violence is easily diagnosed, because of its competitive and rivalry environment. Possibly these situations are consequence of previous problems, not adequately solved and which have the tendency of emerging in serious situations. So, it is important a corporative effort in the universal identity seek, preserving the solidarity and equity values and observing the ethic limits established to the college life.
