Legitimacy Of Electronic Administrative Decisions In The Context Of Digital Transformation

Authors : Merah Ahmed .

Abstract

Abstract Electronic administrative decisions have become an essential tool in modern administration, combining legal legitimacy with digital efficiency. They are characterized by fast notification, archival documentation, and enhanced transparency and accountability, while preserving the traditional elements of administrative decisions: authority, public interest, legal form, and timing, in addition to the digital dimension represented by security, digital signatures, and electronic documentation. Despite these advantages, electronic decisions face contemporary challenges, including lack of specialized legislation, cyber security risks, insufficient digital training for staff, and the need to educate citizens. To ensure the legitimacy and effectiveness of electronic decisions, it is necessary to update laws to keep pace with digital transformation, adopt secure and reliable systems, train administrative personnel, and raise awareness among beneficiaries on how to interact with these decisions. Consequently, electronic administrative decisions become an effective and legitimate means of organizing public administration in the digital era.
