This study analyzed the impact of people`s expectations on policy satisfaction in South Korea, using an expectancy disconfirmation model wherein service satisfaction is decided by expectation and performance. Though recent studies have applied the model to evaluations of specific public services, this study applied it to macro policies in South Korea. To measure expectation levels, proxy variables were used: people`s trust in participants who have influence on policy and in the policy-making process. The results were not compatible with the model: the model`s implication that higher expectations induce lower satisfaction did not fit macro policy cases, where high expectations had a significant positive influence on satisfaction. Moreover, the type of expectation that is the focus of marketing studies, predictive expectation, is not appropriate to use with public policy cases; the quantity of prior experiences as a basis of predictive expectation is not significant to policy satisfaction. Expectation is obviously an important factor in the public`s evaluation of policy outputs, but further studies are necessary to fully understand its role.

The impact of tax on state revenue is very dominant these days. This happens because tax is a definite source in contributing funds to the state. Basically, it is a reflection of the mutual cooperation of the community in state financing regulated by legislation. One of the factors causing low taxpayer's compliance takes place because the public as taxpayers forget or maybe even simply ignore their obligation to pay taxes, especially personal income tax. This research is quantitative in nature, which involves testing hypotheses (explanatory). The population in this study is individual taxpayer registered at the Regional Office of the Directorate General of Taxes of the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Approximately 350,935 Individual Taxpayers at the end of 2015 were registered. The research results indicated a positive influence between the attitude of taxpayers and taxpayer's compliance. By contrast, with respect to taxpayer compliance, the analysis on tax elimination variable shows that there is no positive influence between the elimination of tax sanctions and taxpayer compliance. The analysis on tax awareness toward taxpayer compliance indicates a positive influence between tax awareness and taxpayer compliance. Keywords—Tax Awareness; Taxpayer Compliance; Individual Taxpayers; Taxpayer Attitudes. Abstrak Perananpajakterhadap pendapatan Negara sangat dominan pada masa sekarang ini.Ini terjadi karena pajak adalah sumber yang pasti dalam memberikan kontribusi dana kepada Negara karena merupakan cerminan dari kegotongroyongan masyarakatdalam pembiayaan negara yang diatur oleh perundang-undangan.

This article explores public innovations implemented by local authorities, which consider them as a key means of improving their performance in response to a restrictive context. The authors thus propose to grasp the impacts of these innovations in terms of perceived performance from a global and multidimensional point of view. Based on a quantitative study conducted among French local authorities, this research first presents the results obtained from a theoretical point of view, providing insight into the multiple impacts of implementing innovations within the public sector. Then, at the managerial level, the study identifies specific impacts for each type of public innovation, the aim being to structure the innovation portfolio of public organisations. Points for practitioners An increasing number of innovations are being introduced in the public sector. However, the impact of these innovations on public performance is often not assessed. That is why by focusing our research on French local authorities, we guide managers both in analysing this influence by distinguishing several types of innovation and performance, and in building a portfolio of innovations in line with the internal resources of their local authority, as well as the public service provided in response to the needs of the territory.

This article focuses on acts of resistance regarding reproductive politics in contemporary Britain. Drawing on empirical research this article investigates grassroots activism around a complex moral, social, and political problem. This article therefore focuses on a site of resistance in everyday urban environments, investigating the practice and performance involved. Identifying specifically the territory(ies) and territorialities of these specific sites of resistance, this article looks at how opposing groups negotiate conflict in public space in territorial, as well as habitual, ways. Second, the article focuses on questions around the impact, distinction, and novelty both in the immediate and long term of these acts of resistance for those in public space. Here, then, the focus shifts to the reactions to this particular form of protest and questions the “acceptability” of specific resistances in the public imaginary.

Citizen satisfaction is an important issue for global city managers in the construction of a smart city. To date, little research has been done on the effect of citizen participation on citizen satisfaction in a smart city. From the perspective of citizen involvement and based on the theory of involvement and American Customer Satisfaction Index model, this study explores the impact mechanism of citizen participation on citizen satisfaction in a smart city and constructs a theoretical model of citizen satisfaction. The data were collected in Qingdao, which is a smart city in China. The analysis shows that citizen involvement has a significant positive influence on citizen participation both cognitively and affectively. Furthermore, citizen participation produces a direct and significant positive impact on citizen satisfaction. Last, citizen participation can also have a significant positive influence on citizen satisfaction through perceived quality and perceived value. The main contribution of this study focuses on the construction of the impact mechanism model. Based on this model, researchers and city managers can understand the entire reaction process of the citizen ranging from subjective judgement to practical actions and then actual experiences in the construction of a smart city.

Purpose – This study aims to contribute to the literature by addressing two research questions: is there a relationship between e-commerce adoption and performance of SMEs? And, more importantly, does the degree of entrepreneurial orientation moderate the relationship between e-commerce adoption and SME performance? Design/methodology/approach – Data were collected from a sample of 55 manufacturing and service SMEs located in the state of Texas, USA, between 2008 and 2009 using a structured questionnaire. Customized questionnaires were mailed out to the owner-managers of 55 SMEs. A moderated regression analysis was conducted to test the two hypotheses. Findings – The results suggest that e-commerce adoption has a significant, positive influence on SMEs' average sales growth rate and that adopters of e-commerce technology have significantly higher average sales growth rate than non-adopters. The results also indicate that e-commerce adoption positively affects SMEs' annual sales growth rate even more when the sample firms have higher level of entrepreneurial orientation. Overall, the results of this analysis indicate the importance of e-commerce adoption as well as SMEs' entrepreneurial orientation on the performance of SMEs. Research limitations/implications – The findings of this study can be useful for SMEs in general as a means of understanding how e-commerce adoption positively affects the firm's performance. Such a relationship suggests that e-commerce adoption is an important factor that can enhance firm's internal processes and ultimately performance. Therefore, e-commerce adopters should continue to utilize this technology while non-adopters should consider harnessing the potential of this technology to further streamline their operations and effectiveness. Originality/value – This study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on the role of e-commerce adoption and entrepreneurial orientation in small firm performance.
