Abstract: This study intended to investigate the impact of using e-government on rebuilding the trust of citizen in the government through suggesting satisfaction with e-services as an intermediary variable. A descriptive-quantitative-exploratory approach was adopted by designing a self-administrated questionnaire for data collection purposes. Through convenience sampling, data was collected, and the sample comprised 397 individuals, who are citizens and users for e-government in Jordan context. SMART Partial Least Squares was adopted for analysis purposes. Results reported a significant direct impact for e-government using on rebuilding citizen trust (R² = 26.1%), and a significant impact for e-government using on promoting satisfaction with e-services (R² = 57.3%), and a significant impact for satisfaction with e-services on promoting citizens' trust (R² = 41.3%). The analysis also reported a significant indirect effect (0.452) supporting the suggested role for satisfaction with e-services as a full mediator. Following the gathered results, directions and recommendations for future studies were provided.
