Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic generated a lockdown that prevented government procedures and services from being conducted in person, which had an impact on corruption and the use of electronic government (hereinafter GE). The objective of this study is to know the incidence of GE in corruption from the perception of users in a context of pandemic and post-pandemic. In this sense, the data corresponding to the ENCIG 2019 and 2021 were analyzed, through the construction of variables and an analysis of multiple cross tables. From the study conducted, it was identified that the population considers corruption to be the second most worrisome problem in Mexico, and that GE users had a lower incidence of corruption cases, however, at the end of the confinement, non-GE users reached very high corruption percentages. It is concluded that in Mexico an intensive process digitalization must be implemented in all public procedures and services, to counteract corruption and make services more efficient.
