Recent research studies reveal that approaches are required in improving the quality of e-government services for ensuring success and improved performance that would result in user satisfaction. This chapter investigates combining lean six sigma applications and SERVQAUL approaches to improve quality of electronic services (e-services). While six sigma applications in the service sector have many success stories in quality improvement programs, there are a lack of studies conducted on its application in information and communication technologies such as e-services. This chapter addresses this gap in literature and benefits future studies in applying six sigma for quality improvement of various electronic projects that are gaining huge investments from develop countries and organizations. This chapter presents e-service dimensions (reliability, responsiveness, ease of use, personalization, Website design); in addition, it considers security as a very important dimension for e-service quality and identifies level of quality service provided by e-government in a developing country, such as Jordan. The results show that the quality measurement approach used improves e-service quality and increases user satisfaction.

In building a system, it was needed a quality guarantee. A system could be stated well qualified, if it met the user needs. The quality could be measured from various points of views. One point of views to measure the software quality was focusing on user satisfaction (user based). To know the quality of a system, it was needed a quality analysis of its system. There was a lack of service when online warehouse administration system used to manage the warehouse material inventory in PT. PLN (Persero) Duri Rayon was used. This research aimed at finding proposed improvements for increasing the service quality percentage of online warehouse administration system based on ISO/IEC 9126 standard. The methods of collecting the data were using interview and questionnaire to know user complaints to the user. Maturity Model and Delay approaches were used to process the data. In testing the reliability level, online warehouse administration system was on the first level (the system was computerized, but it was not standardized yet). In testing the delay, all the delays in input were on good category and it could beunderstandable. Based on the levels of maturity and delay, the test showed that there was a need to improve and maintenance the online warehouse administration system to increase the performance of system service quality for users. so that the existence of repairs and maintenance systems can increase 26% to 41% the percentage of the quality of an information technology system.

Development and extensive use of information and communication technologies has led to important implications for public sectors throughout the world. As a result, in governmental services, citizens have been enjoying better quality services, in an efficient and effective manner. e-government, however, is more related to “government” rather than the “e” as the technical and technological one. The challenge is to use technologies to improve the capacities of government institutions, while improving the quality of life of citizens by redefining the relationship between citizens and their government. Accordingly, this chapter focuses on e-government applications highlighted to reach a more citizen centric e-government in Turkey. Especially, two concepts of e-government, content management system and measuring citizens’ satisfaction from e-services are underlined. Therefore, after giving a theoretical background first on e-government, content management and then measuring e-services satisfaction, new developments towards these concepts are accounted.

Improving the efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of public services has become a growing concern for many governments across the world, and more so with recent popularity of online services, widely referred as e-government services. The application of quality approaches for measuring and improving e-government services has been the subject of much research within the academic world over the last two decades. This chapter discusses the use of key quality approaches to improve services in Jordan's e-government initiatives. As more and more developing countries are adopting e-services as a means of providing quality services to their community and people through the Web, the necessary benchmarking plays an important role. Many traditional quality benchmarking performance measurements have proved futile in improving e-government services due to their quantitative focus. Though qualitative frameworks and measurement approaches such as Six Sigma and Balanced Scorecard have found their success in certain industry sectors, their relevance in the service sector has drawn attention only recently. While some studies have employed such approaches for evaluating projects in information and communication technologies, literature lacks investigations in the e-government sector. To fill this gap, this chapter investigates the application of Six Sigma and Balanced Scorecard approaches to improve quality in Jordanian e-government services.

While rail-based public transport is clearly a more advanced and preferable alternative to driving and a way of overcoming traffic congestion and pollution problems, the rate of uptake for rail travel has remained stagnant as a result of various well-known issues such as that commuters either use a more reliable and comfortable alternative to get from A to B and/or that they are not satisfied with the quality of service provided. This study examined the factor of user satisfaction regarding rail-based public transport with the aim of discovering precisely what factors have a significant effect on the user satisfaction and uptake of rail travel. This was approached using both the Delphi approach and a thorough review of the current literature, focusing on a total of nine possible factors affecting passenger satisfaction with rail travel availability of service, accessibility of service, ticket or pass, punctuality, clarity of information, quality of customer service, comfort, safety, and image. Also discussed were 29 extra possible attributes and several measures that were implemented in various countries to increase the service quality. It was concluded that this review will provide valuable information for policymakers, researchers and service providers in terms of specifying the service factors most worth investigating if the quality of this crucial means of transport is to be raised.
