Understanding the Role of Language Style of Government Response in E-participation: Evidence from a Citizen Inquiry Forum in China

In response to the “Internet + Public Service” reformation, Chinese government organizations increasingly use e-participation platforms to interact with citizens, making how government respond to citizens\u27 inquiry increasingly critical in citizen participation. This study is one of the few attempts to study the effect of language style of government response on citizen participation. Based on the language expectancy theory, we hypothesize that government response using appropriate formal and emotional language will change citizen e-participation behavior. Using text data from 11,194 users in a Chinese citizen inquiry forum, we found that emotional language has the positive impact on citizens\u27 continuous participation significantly. And both emotional language and formal language can promote citizens’ participation quality. Moreover, we identified the complementary effects of two languages on e-participation. This study has implications for both researchers and practitioners

An Object-oriented Workflow Modeling Schema Using Dataflow Analysis for Collaborative E-governance Platform

In the initial stage of transforming from government to governance for developing countries, collaborative e-governance platforms should be urgently established in different contexts. Though some platforms have been previously applied to various fields, researches on common basic functions analysis and across-organization business process modeling based on a suitable workflow modeling method for the platforms design and development are insufficient. Based on an explorative analysis of platform functions and their patterns, we propose a schema for e-governance platforms modeling according to an extended method of object-oriented workflow modeling using dataflow analysis. It covers a two-step process of top-level platform workflow modeling and function objection workflow modeling. In addition, a citizen appeal processing platform is taken as an example to illustrate the utility of the schema. The schema facilitates the contextualized collaborative e-governance platforms development with an operable method and reusable function workflow models

The Role of Software Service Providers in the Development of E-Government Ecosystems from a Resource Orchestration Perspective

The existing studies on e-government outsourcing pay attention to the factors that influence the service satisfaction of software service providers, and there is currently little research on how software service providers develop during different phases involved, which plays an important role in the e-government outsourcing projects. We apply the literature on business ecosystem and resource orchestration which may be crucial to the development of a software service provider to analyze a typical software service provider in the field of electronic tax outsourcing. In doing so, a process model of how a service provider makes resource orchestration as environments change and develops its focal capabilities is inductively derived that sheds light on the process from a niche player to be a keystone in three distinct phases. The process model reveals that the role of the software service provider within its ecosystem is evolutionary in nature. With above findings, this study provides practitioners a comprehensive and empirically supported framework and shows a successful process model of how to be a keystone within the e-government ecosystem

Understanding Continuous Citizen Participation on a Green Commuting Platform: The Roles of Public Value and Private Value

Citizen participation in IT-enabled social activity is an exchange between creating public value for others and gaining private value offered by public sectors in the perspective of social exchange theory. Prior literatures mostly focused on offline social activities and examined only the effects of participation antecedents on final participation outcomes, not investigating the potential participation mechanism in particular of the roles of public and private values. Thus, this study develops a theoretical model based on theories and incentives of citizen participation to examine what and how antecedents affect continuous citizen participation through public value creation and private value acquisition. With analyzing the survey data in the case of a Green Commuting platform, we identify the effective antecedents and find that private value acquisition has much greater effect on participation than public value creation and two values significantly mediate the effects of antecedents on participation

Organic additive engineering toward efficient perovskite light‐emitting diodes

Perovskite materials with excellent optical and electrical properties are promising for light‐emitting diodes. In the field of perovskite light‐emitting diodes (PeLEDs), organic materials additive engineering has been proved to be an effective scheme for enhancing efficiency and stability in PeLEDs. Most impressively, the reported external quantum efficiency of PeLEDs based on perovskite‐organic composite has reached over 20%. Herein, we will review the important progress of the organic materials\u27 additive‐modified PeLEDs and discuss the remaining problems and challenges and the key research direction in the near future

Who is the Real Hero? Measuring Developer Contribution via Multi-dimensional Data Integration

Proper incentives are important for motivating developers in open-source communities, which is crucial for maintaining the development of open-source software healthy. To provide such incentives, an accurate and objective developer contribution measurement method is needed. However, existing methods rely heavily on manual peer review, lacking objectivity and transparency. The metrics of some automated works about effort estimation use only syntax-level or even text-level information, such as changed lines of code, which lack robustness. Furthermore, some works about identifying core developers provide only a qualitative understanding without a quantitative score or have some project-specific parameters, which makes them not practical in real-world projects. To this end, we propose CValue, a multidimensional information fusion-based approach to measure developer contributions. CValue extracts both syntax and semantic information from the source code changes in four dimensions: modification amount, understandability, inter-function and intra-function impact of modification. It fuses the information to produce the contribution score for each of the commits in the projects. Experimental results show that CValue outperforms other approaches by 19.59% on 10 real-world projects with manually labeled ground truth. We validated and proved that the performance of CValue, which takes 83.39 seconds per commit, is acceptable to be applied in real-world projects. Furthermore, we performed a large-scale experiment on 174 projects and detected 2,282 developers having inflated commits. Of these, 2,050 developers did not make any syntax contribution; and 103 were identified as bots

The Role of Integrative Leadership in the Transformation Process of Public Services Delivery: From the Perspective of IS Strategy Triangle Theory

In the era of Government 2.0, the government should transform into a citizen-centric and service-oriented government. In the terms of public services delivery, more innovative IT-based methods are pursued. However, on the perspective of organizational management, leadership plays a major role in using IT to make public services delivery efficient. Therefore, this paper presents a conceptual framework for understanding how integrative leadership influence the transformation of IT-based public services delivery. From the perspective of IS strategy triangle theory, we define integrative leadership as bringing diverse leaderships—strategy leadership, organization leadership and IT leadership—in an organization together with a close-coupled association to accomplish the complex and public issue and archive the united strategic goal. The framework is illustrated with a case of a local government, Pingfang District of Harbin in China, a pilot unit of Smart City providing more convenient and effective public services under the guidance of the District Mayor, the Organization Department Minister and the Informatization Office Director that are responsible for the coordination of strategy formulation, organization restructuration and information construction respectively. The framework is, to our best knowledge, the first of their kind in the new research field of key component elements of intra-organizational integrative leadership and provides significant insights for future exploration

The Impact Mechanism of Charismatic Leadership on Individual\u27s Tacit Knowledge Sharing

Drawing upon charismatic leadership and intrinsic motivation theory, we developed a theoretical model to examine the impact mechanism of charismatic leadership on employees’ tacit knowledge sharing intention in a temporary Enterprise Systems learning team. We conducted a survey-based field study to examine the theoretical model and hypotheses. A total of 153 questionnaires were distributed to ERP users of more than 20 subsidiaries of Beidahuang Group in China and 117 valid questionnaires were returned. Results from structural equation modelling analysis suggest that leader charisma has strong influence on psychological safety climate, which in turn has positive impact on individual’s intrinsic motivation and their tacit knowledge sharing intention. Our results unpack the impact mechanism of leader charisma on individual’s knowledge sharing behaviors, and provide guidelines for the team leader to exhibit appropriate leadership traits in order to promote a psychological safety climate and facilitate an effective knowledge sharing of Enterprise Systems
