Abstract

[Purpose/Significance]The study identifies the factors that influence government information disclosure (GID) and empowerment of GID.The results provide theoretical and empirical foundation for future studies on the quality of GID and how GID empowers different stakeholders.[Method/Process]Using the method of a systematic review,this paper selected and analyzed 111 empirical studies on GID.[Result/Conclusion]The results indicate that the influential GID factors include internal,external and systematic factors.The stakeholders empowered by GID include the public,companies,and government agencies.Empowering effects include:GID motivates the participation of the public,increases political trust,public compliance,and public satisfaction.It also reduces the policy uncertainty felt by businesses and affects fiscal governance,environmental governance,and the governance in other areas.The shortcomings of current research are that there are few studies investigating how organizational levels and structure affect GID,few studies on the empowerment effect of GID practices,and little deconstruction and analysis of mechanism of empowerment of GID on social practice,not enough to reveal the utility mechanism of GID.
