| Abstract | ||
| Corruption is a wicked issue that severely impacts governments’ economic development and the living standards of its citizens. As a result, many governments have invested heavily in the implementation of information and communication technologies with the assumption that it will help in curbing corruption. In response to this growing assumption, this study investigates the impact of e-government and e-participation, as well as the direct and moderating effect of the rule of law on corruption in Arab countries. This study is based on secondary data collected from 2012 to 2020. Based on the study results, the rule of law is found to be statistically significant in curbing corruption. While the use of e-government and e-participation are found to have no relationship. However, e-government and e-participation can have a significant effect in curbing corruption only when there is an effective enforcement of anti-corruption laws and policies. | ||
