Recently, information and communication technologies (ICTs) have increasingly been utilized by governments to involve citizens, leading to the rise of e-participation. E-participation has varied across units and levels of government and has attracted attention from both scholars and practitioners. While researchers have explored various factors that impact e-participation, few of them have tested the comprehensive influence of the external environment on e-participation at the national level. This article aims at filling a research gap by examining the direct and indirect impacts of environmental factors on e-participation. The results indicate that environmental factors might significantly influence e-participation nationally. This study argues that the diffusion of e-participation could be explained by its external environment variance.
