    Adopting microblogging solutions for interaction with government: survey results from Hunan province, China
    (2022) Homburg, V.; Bekkers, V.; Moody, R.; Yang, Q.
    Authorities in the People’s Republic of China communicate with citizens using an estimated six hundred thousand Sina Weibo microblogs. This study reports on a study of Chinese citizens’ adoption of microblogs to interact with government. Adoption results from trust and peer pressure in smaller-network ties (densely knit, pervasive social networks surrounding individual citizens). Larger-network ties (trust in institutions-at-large, such as the Chinese Communist Party, executive organizations, the judicial system, media, et cetera) are not associated with adoption of microblogging. Furthermore, higher levels of anxiety are correlated with lower levels of use intentions, and this finding underlines the impact of the Chinese authority’s surveillance and control activities on the lives of individual Chinese citizens. Based in these findings, we outline a theory of why citizens use microblogs to interact with government and suggest avenues for further research into microblogs, state-citizens communication patterns and technology adoption.

    “Citizens’ social media adoption in Paraguay”
    (2021) Homburg, Vincent; Moody, Rebecca
    This article aims to identify which factors are associated with Paraguayan citizens’ use of social media in citizen-government relations. We gathered data using a vignette-survey with which responses to four public service problems were recorded, apart from scores on perceived effectiveness, capability, social influence, trust in government, trust in social media infrastructure, and social media anxiety. Multivariate analysis was used to test hypotheses. Perceived effectiveness, social influence and trust in social media infrastructures were found to be significantly correlated with citizens’ use of social media to report public service issues. On the other hand, capability, trust in government and social media anxiety were not found to be associated with citizens’ social media use. The results urge us to further theorize and disentangle how perceived effectiveness, social influence and trust in proprietary social media infrastructures affect digital citizen engagement and participation, and under what conditions proprietary social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter contribute to a vibrant democracy.

The results revealed that Technological factors significantly and positively affect cloud-based computing adoption in Nigeria electoral system, and that environmental factor partially, positively and significantly mediate in the relationship between Technological factors and cloud-based computing adoption in Nigeria electoral system, it was then concluded, among others, that an increase in the technological factors of cloud computing such as security, privacy, reliability and desirability would result to significant increase in the chances of adoption of the cloud computing technology, it was therefore recommended among others, that cloud computing service provider should ensure the security, reliability and desirability values of their services are maintained and constantly improved as such would increase the chances of government agencies like INEC demanding and adopting their services.

    Institutional Trust and Social Media Use in Citizen-State Relations: Results from an international cross country vignette study
    (Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2022) Homburg, Vincent
    The objective of this article is to identify whether trust affects citizens’ use of social media to initiate conversations with government on social media platforms. Using a vignette survey, we gathered data from the Canada, Greece, the Netherlands and Paraguay. Multivariate analysis showed that controlling for demographics and individual-level adoption factors, trust in government does not impact citizens’ use of social media to initiate conversations about public issues, but trust in social media business and organizational infrastructure is (both in democratic countries as well as in flawed democracies). These results highlight how trust in institutions affect citizens’ engagement and digital participation, and identifies conditions under which social media platforms may contribute to a vibrant democracy.
