Drawing from social cognitive theory, the current study investigated the direct and indirect relationship of public interaction with government officials on SNS (Social Network Sites), perceived government response on COVID-19, and perceived e-governance effectiveness with the overall public trust in government via an underlying mechanism of the perceived religious value. Using a quantitative field survey at local administration levels, the primary data of 478 individuals were collected from two cities in Indonesia and was then analyzed using SmartPls3. Results revealed positive associations among the study variables. The results also supported the mediatory role of the perceived religious value between the association of interaction with government officials on SNS, perceived government response on COVID-19, perceived e-governance effectiveness with overall public trust in government. Key policy insights regarding the use of e-governance channels via religious networks to enhance public trust are presented in the cultural context of a developing country. This study brings valuable insights into the public trust in government during COVID-19.

Purpose This study aims to investigate the association of perceived accountability, perceived responsiveness and perceived transparency, and public trust in local government. Additionally, mediation of the perceived effectiveness of e-governance was also tested between these relationships. Design/methodology/approach Using a quantitative cross-sectional field survey, primary data was collected at local administration levels from two cities in Indonesia. The final data set of 355 respondents was then analyzed using SmartPls3 and the measurement and structural models were tested. Findings Positive results were obtained for all the hypothesized links (direct and indirect relationships). The study’s findings revealed useful insights for policymakers and researchers regarding the public’s perception of good governance and their expectations from the government, which further lead toward trust in local governments. Practical implications The study concluded that good governance practices develop and enhance the public’s trust in the government, thus provided key policy directions. Originality/value This study contributes to the body of knowledge related to good governance elements and their impact on public trust in the local government via the underlying mechanism of perceived e-governance effectiveness in developing countries in general and particularly the Indonesian context. Moreover, it is a unique study in the good governance domain while considering three good governance elements into a single theoretical framework. Previous studies have explored these elements individually with public trust, so this combined framework advances the body of knowledge. This research’s findings also contributed toward validating good governance theory with e-governance effectiveness and public trust integration in a single comprehensive framework. This research also helped answer the questions arising from past literature about declining public trust trends in local governments.

This study analyzes how citizens' satisfaction with governance values and perceived government performance affect public trust in government in China and South Korea and explores its implications for building resilient communities. The results of the study show that the level of satisfaction with democratic governance values and the government's performance in dealing with political corruption, the economy, and human rights are all significantly associated with trust in government in China. Government performance in dealing with political corruption and the economy is significantly associated with trust in government in South Korea as well. Government officials' attention to citizen input is significantly associated with trust in local government in both countries. Trust in people was significantly associated with trust in government in China only. Finally, implications of the study findings for building resilient communities and future research agendas are discussed. 本研究分析了中国和韩国公民对治理价值的满意度和感知的政府绩效如何影响他们对政府的信任,并探讨其对构建有韧性的社区的启示。研究结果显示,中国民众对民主治理价值和政府治理政治腐败、经济发展和人权保护方面绩效的满意水平,都同政府信任显著相关。韩国政府在治理政治腐败和经济方面的表现,也同政府信任显著相关。政府官员对民意的关注同两国地方政府信任显著相关。人与人之间的信任只在中国同政府信任显著相关。最后,本文讨论了本研究发现对构建有韧性的社区的启示,以及未来研究议程。 본 연구는 중국과 한국 시민의 거버넌스 가치에 대한 만족도와 정부 성과에 관한 인식이 정부 신뢰에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 그것이 회복력 있는 공동체 건설에 가지는 함의를 탐색하였다. 본 연구 결과에 따르면 중국 정부의 부패, 경제 그리고 인권에 관한 성과와 민주적 거버넌스 가치에 관한 만족도가 정부 신뢰와 유의미한 관련성을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 한국 정부의 부패와 경제에 관한 성과 또한 정부 신뢰와 유의미한 관련성이 있음을 확인하였다. 중국과 한국 양국 공무원의 시민 의견에 관한 관심은 지방 정부에 관한 신뢰와 유의미한 관련성을 가지는 것으로 나타났다.  국민에 대한 신뢰는 중국 정부 신뢰에만 유의미한 관련성을 확인하였다. 이로써 본 연구는 회복력 있는 공동체 건설에 가지는 함의와 향후 연구 어젠다를 논의하였다.

Abstract Recent reports show that there is resistance in certain countries in regard with receiving COVID-19 vaccination. Different factors contribute to this resistance. With this, if we are to promote COVID-19 vaccination, government officials must build public trust so that the hesitancy among the citizens will be lessened. Thus, this paper proposes that in building public trust, the true essence of common good and public service must be seen from the officials so that their constituents will trust them with their decisions.

Waqf is a potential source of funds to overcome social problems, but most poverty reduction programmes rely on foreign credit, especially from the World Bank. In this case, the development of a waqf by a nadzir can be an alternative source of funding in the general economic empowerment, which is supported by society�s trust in waqf institutions. Therefore, this study is conducted to identify the factors that determine public trust and to examine the influence of waqf distribution and promotion on society trust in waqf funds managed by Tabung Wakaf Indonesia. This paper used quantitative methods and utilized primary data through direct surveys with questionnaires were collected and analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The findings reveal that promotion and distribution have significant relationships with society trust. In addition, this study indicates that distribution has the greater impact than promotion on influencing society trust in waqf management. The findings nevertheless give a wide understanding of the concept of public trust and its antecedent in the context of Tabung Wakaf Indonesia.

This chapter explores the economic and social impacts of sovereign Sukuk in Sudan and its unique challenges. The first of its kind, this research collected primary data from different groups of investors of Sudanese governmental Sukuk. Adopting a qualitative approach (interview questions and open and closed-ended surveys), four sets of questions were distributed to four groups (individual investors, institutional investors, government officials, and academics). The survey found that despite Sukuk's influence in activating the economy and financial markets, and encouraging savings awareness, the market in Sudan is facing many challenges. Accordingly, it is recommended that Sukuk issuances should appeal to a wider audience including retail investors. The ensuing system, which could likewise be adopted by other countries, would generate more liquidity for development projects and may prove helpful for developed Sukuk markets. Additionally, evolving capital markets would enhance the economic and social impact of governmental Sukuk.

Based on an integration of the positive youth development model and the social cognitive theory, friends’ moral identity was examined as a moderator of the direct and indirect relations between school climate and adolescent’s cyberbullying perpetration via moral disengagement. Participants were 404 Chinese adolescents ( Mage = 13.53 years, SD = 0.92). They completed the Perceived School Climate Scale and the Moral Identity Scale and nominated up to three friends whom they considered to be their “best friend” in their classroom at Time 1. After 6 months, they completed the Moral Disengagement Scale and the Cyberbullying Scale at Time 2. Results showed that adolescents who experienced positive school climate were less likely to cyberbully others, which was mediated by their moral disengagement. Friends’ moral identity moderated the direct and indirect relations between school climate and cyberbullying perpetration. Specifically, the indirect relationship between school climate and cyberbullying perpetration through moral disengagement became nonsignificant for adolescents interacting with high moral identity friends. The direct association between school climate and cyberbullying perpetration was moderated by friends’ moral identity.
