The Government microblog has gradually become a new channel for the government to pro-vide public information services and communicate with the public.It is crucial to investigate the relationship between government microblog's information disclosure and public participation,which is conducive to pro-viding empirical evidence and theoretical support for the bottom-up"backward"approach to promote the ac-curacy of government information disclosure in the digital era.This study focuses on the information disclo-sure practice of local government microblog in China,and empirically investigates the impact of government information disclosure on public participation and its intermediate mechanism.The results show that govern-ment information disclosure is positively related to the public's browsing,forwarding and commenting behav-iors in the dissemination of government microblog information.In addition,the analysis of moderating effects shows that satisfaction with government microblog information plays an intermediary role between government information disclosure and public participation behavior,of which public satisfaction plays a complete inter-mediary role between them.Moreover,the quality of fans positively moderates the relationship between the public's forwarding and comment behavior on the one hand,and government information disclosure on its of-ficial microblog on the other.
