Abstract :\
This study aimed to identify the requirements and standards of electronic
governance and their relationship to improving institutional performance from the
perspective of faculty members at Fezzan University. This investigation takes place
amid the rapid changes witnessed in higher education institutions. The study adopted
a descriptive-analytical methodology, collecting data through an electronic
questionnaire distributed to a sample of faculty members, yielding 100 valid
responses for analysis. Statistical analysis results revealed a strong and significant
positive correlation between the availability of electronic governance requirements
and standards and the improvement of institutional performance at Fezzan University.
The Spearman correlation coefficient between the total requirements and standards of
electronic governance and institutional performance was (.760**) with a significance
level of (p-value =. 000). The highest-rated aspect of applying electronic governance
standards at the university was adherence to ethical standards in the use of digital
data, followed by transparency standards in publishing administrative decisions and
data. Furthermore, statistically significant differences were found in faculty
evaluations of electronic governance standards based on age and years of experience.
Finally, differences of statistical significance in assessments of institutional
performance levels were found according to gender and age variables. The study
recommends the continuous updating and maintenance of electronic systems to meet
cybersecurity requirements and data protection needs. It also emphasizes the necessity
of embedding values of transparency, accountability, participation, and justice in
university operations, along with organizing ongoing training courses for staff and
faculty to enhance digital skills and understanding of electronic governance practices.
