    El conocimiento se identifica en la literatura como un factor crítico para la adopción del e-gobierno. La naturaleza del conocimiento es compleja e implica múltiples dimensiones que hacen difícil su estudio tanto en la práctica como en la teoría. Esta investigación constituye una exploración de las múltiples dimensiones del conocimiento involucradas en la adopción del e-gobierno en un contexto de una reforma presupuestaria apoyada con tecnologías de información en México. Este estudio aplica un análisis factorial confirmatorio para estimar la varianza común entre diferentes indicadores que miden varios aspectos del conocimiento, con el propósito de revelar sus múltiples dimensiones. Los datos tienen su fuente en un cuestionario aplicado en 2011 a funcionarios federales y estatales que participaron en la reforma presupuestaria. Esta iniciativa se considera un caso contemporáneo de e-gobierno. El cuestionario incluye preguntas sobre aspectos críticos del conocimiento establecidos en la literatura y en estudios previos especializados en este caso. El objetivo de este estudio es ampliar nuestra comprensión de las múltiples dimensiones del conocimiento como potenciales habilitadores u obstaculizadores durante la adopción del e-gobierno. Derivado del análisis, se recomienda la adopción de una selección de "consejos prácticos" para los proyectos de e-gobierno.

    Knowledge is identified in the literature as a critical factor for the adoption of e-government. The nature of knowledge is complex and implies multiple dimensions that make it difficult to assess in practice and in theory. This research constitutes an exploration of the multiple dimensions of knowledge involved in e-government adoption in the context of an IT-enabled budget reform in Mexico. This study applies confirmatory factor analysis to estimate the common variance among different indicators measuring knowledge with the purpose of uncovering its multiple dimensions. The data come from a questionnaire applied in 2011 over federal and state government officials who participated in the budget reform. This initiative is considered a contemporary case of e-government. The questionnaire includes inquiries about knowledge found critical in the literature and in previous in-depth studies of this particular case. The goal of this study is to extend our understanding of multiple dimensions of knowledge as possible enablers and inhibitors during e-government adoption. Derived from the analysis, a selection of some "practical advises" is recommended for the adoption of e-government projects.
