Abstract
Government agencies are increasingly opening up avenues of interaction with citizens on platforms such as Gov2.0. For this purpose, Gov2.0 platforms typically provide space to facilitate public engagement, aiming to create public value (PV). However, the current level of engagement has fallen far below expectations, indicating that government agencies are finding it challenging to attract and retain Gov2.0 users. However, there is a lack of comprehensive research and understanding of the antecedents of public engagement and what drives PV. Further, although prior studies have suggested a link between empowerment and e-government systems, little research has theorized and empirically tested their influence. Hence, this paper proposes the GPVM model based on empowerment theory to explain how Gov2.0 enable public engagement and enhance public value. We tested the model using survey data acquired from 756 citizens. We found that public empowerment, to an extent, influences both public engagement and PV.
