Survey data on the attitudes towards digital technologies and the way of managing e-governmental tasks

Abstract

A representative sample of 2520 people was surveyed by completing an online questionnaire using the Tablet Assisted Personal Interviewing (TAPI) method to measure the digital readiness and administrative habits of the population. The data are available in tabular form from an open repository. Some topics were processed by measuring several latent variables and latent class analysis was applied. The database fa- cilitated understanding of the stratification of the population according to digital literacy, preferences with regard to device usage, the purpose of Internet usage, fear of smart systems as well as technophilic and technophobic attitudes. The database revealed the population’s administrative practices, particularly their attitudes towards e-government and future development needs. The survey is useful for planning e-government developments. Knowledge of the digital readiness of the population is useful for designing training programs, mapping labor market competencies in the era of Industry 4.0 and developing channels of communication campaigning. Through the regional demographic variables, all of the aforementioned topics can also be used in regional science to measure indices at NUTS 2 or NUTS 3 levels.
