Abstract

With social media, the government can interact with the public directly without the aid of media gatekeepers like journalists and producers. Therefore, most governments take initiatives in the e-government on social media to en- hance public engagement to cultivate the public's confidence and trust in the gov- ernment. This paper aims to develop a new model for explaining public engage- ment and government social media, which could expand the body of knowledge on public engagement on government social media in the communication field from a Malaysian's standpoint. The proposed model comprises e-government adoption, perceived content, and social media usage, with the mediating effect of gratification that could influence public engagement on the government's social media.
