The results of the study show that e-government has a positive and significant effect on government effectiveness, with a P-value of 0.000 and a T-statistic of 3,664. Control of corruption affects government effectiveness with a P-value of 0.001 and a T-statistic of 3.209; then, government effectiveness has a positive and significant effect on economic growth with a P-value of 0.000 and a T-statistic of 4.026. The findings highlight the importance of adopting efficient e-government practices and effective corruption control measures to improve government performance and promote sustainable economic growth in these countries.
