الملخص EN

This paper provides an e-government readiness assessment tool in general and a situation analysis of Jordan e-government readiness in particular.

The research model provided in this paper is based on two main factors: website assessment and environmental factors.

The first factor was analyzed by sophistication of government online services and government online service itself.

The other factor was analyzed by two other variables: cultural environment and business environment.

By studying these factors in Jordan, the study achieved its objectives and aims of analyzing the current state of e-government readiness.

By reviewing the literature, the researcher found out that the government's efforts towards e-government may vary according to the country's readiness and other key implementation factors, which will lead to a diverse e-government experience; thus there is a need for studying the impact of key factors to implement e-government in Jordan.
