Government credibility is the power that can enable the public to trust the government.It is a manifestation of the government’s appeal,influence,and soft power.Government credibility significantly affects the efficiency and cost of government administration,as well as the formulation and implementation of government policies.At present,China is embarking on a new journey of building socialist modernization in an all-round way and is in an important period of advancing towards the second centenary goal.The construction of government credibility is crucial to our country.Although the overall level of government credibility in China is relatively high,at this stage,there is a problem of hierarchical differences between "strong central government and weak local government".As the level of government decreases,the credibility of governments at all levels in China has also gradually decreased.In the Internet era,We Chat,Weibo,government apps,and other self media platforms have continuously entered the lives of the people,making the communication and interaction between the government and the people more convenient and sufficient,and becoming an important channel for the interaction between the people and the government.The public is not only the recipient of information,but also the sender and disseminator of information.This new type of interaction not only enhances the credibility of the government,but also poses a new test for the image and reputation of the government.Although there have been many discussions on the credibility of the government in the academic community,the academic community has not yet given sufficient attention to the issue of how the interaction between government and civil networks affects the credibility of grassroots governments.In the current context,it is of theoretical and practical significance to study how the interaction between government and civil networks affects the credibility of grassroots governments.This article uses the methods of questionnaire survey and empirical analysis to study the impact of government civil network interaction on the credibility of grassroots governments,and further explore the intermediary effect of public satisfaction in it.Through empirical research,it is shown that the interaction between the government and the people’s network is positively affecting the credibility of grassroots governments.The higher the degree of interaction between the government and the people’s network,the higher the public’s evaluation level of the credibility of grassroots governments;At the same time,public satisfaction plays a mediating role in the process of influencing the credibility of grassroots governments through political and civil network interactions.Political and civil network interactions positively affect public satisfaction,which in turn further affects the credibility of grassroots governments.Based on the analysis of empirical results,this article proposes suggestions from the following aspects: establishing a sound interactive platform between the government and the people,establishing an effective government response mechanism,and enhancing the quality of public network participation,providing path options for improving the credibility of grassroots governments. |
