流动人口的网络使用与政府信任——一项基于全国七城市的调查研究

The Use of the Internet and Migrant Workers' Trust in Governments:A Survey of Seven Cities

在信息化时代,流动人口的网络使用对其政府信任的影响值得关注。基于Logistic和Tobit回归模型,我们对一项全国性调查数据进行了统计分析,发现流动人口的网络使用对中央政府、流入地政府和流出地政府的信任都具有显著的负向影响,这与网络时代政府信任面临挑战的普遍性结论相一致。由于流动人口与各类政府是否"在场"的交互差异,在引入政府绩效因素之后,流动人口的网络使用对中央政府和流出地政府的影响依然显著,而对流入地政府信任的影响则主要被政府绩效所替代。

In an information age, migrant workers＇ use of the intemet and its impacts on governments arouse our attention. Based on Logistic and Tobit regression models, I have a statistical analysis of a national survey and find that migrant workers＇ use of the internet has negative impacts on migrant workers＇ trust in central government and in governments of the locations they migrate to and from. This finding is consistent with the general belief that the trust in governments is challenged in an age that is dominated by the internet. Because of the differences in the presence and absence of migrant workers and the various governments, after the introduction of the concept of government performance, migrant workers＇ use of the internet still has evident impacts on central government and government in migrant workers＇ hometown. However, the impacts on the trust in destination governments are largely replaced by government performance.
