Policy attention and the adoption of public sector innovation
研究区分了议题层面和维度层面的政策注意力,发现省份对电子政务议题或经济相关维度的关注越多,越可能采纳在线服务平台,为理解政策注意力如何促进数字创新提供了新视角。
We explore the nuanced role of policy attention in the adoption of public sector innovation by differentiating it between the issue and dimension levels. Using the case of Chinese online service platforms (OSPs), we find that provinces are more likely to adopt OSPs if they pay more attention to e-government issues or define e-government more as economic-related issues. The findings enrich our understanding of the pivotal role of policy attention in eliciting digital innovations and contribute to the literature on innovation adoption and e-government. Managing policy attention is a more flexible alternative than organizational and environmental leverages to facilitate innovations.
