Abstract: The link between e-government and administrative corruption is mentioned by more than one research in the literature but with negligible empirical evidence on that. This study tried to assess the literature and better understand how e-government can fight administrative corruption. This study also tried to build an Arabic language instrument that measures the main dimensions of corruption and how they relate to e-government and tried to explore Jordanians' perceptions towards such phenomenon. The sample consisted of 390 usable surveys, where three major dimensions that contribute to fighting administrative corruption were explored. Results emphasised the importance of all items with high levels of perceptions, and confirmed the reliability of the proposed dimensions. Analyses and results are stated with research conclusions and future work at the end of this paper.
