Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, China effectively contained the virus, resulting in increased public trust in the government. Mobile government (mGovernment) applications (apps) played a critical role in this improvement. This study aims to examine how mGovernment apps build citizens' trust in governments during public crises. The DeLone and McLean Information Systems Success Model (ISSM) is used to evaluate the quality of these apps. Public satisfaction serves as an intermediary variable, while public awareness of epidemic risks in sudden public relations crises acts as a moderating variable to explore the impact of mGovernment apps on government trust. Data analysis is conducted using SPSS Statistics 22.0 and AMOS 21.0. The study's results show that the system quality, information quality, and service quality of mobile government apps influence citizens' trust in governments through the mediating effect of public satisfaction. All three factors positively correlate with public satisfaction, with service quality having the greatest impact. Similarly, system quality, information quality, and service quality are positively correlated with public trust in governments, with system quality having the most noticeable influence. There is a strong correlation between public satisfaction and trust in governments, and the mediating effect of public satisfaction is significant. In addition, epidemic risk perception moderates the relationship between public satisfaction and citizens' trust in governments. |
