Research on The Influence Factors and Generation Paths of Data Openness Performance in Provincial Governments——A Configuration Analysis Based on 22 Provincial Platform Cases
Government data openness,as an important component of modernizing digital governance in our country,exploring the factors that influence the performance of government data openness and the path-ways of its generation,is crucial for accelerating the digital transformation of the government.Based on the Technology-Organization-Environment(TOE)framework,this paper takes 22 provinces(autonomous re-gions,municipalities directly under the central government)in China as cases,and uses the fuzzy set Quali-tative Comparative Analysis method(fsQCA)to conduct a configuration analysis of the factors which influ-ence data openness performance,and uncover key factors and pathways of generation.Results show that:(1)factors in the three dimensions of technology,organization,and environment cannot individually consti-tute a path for improving the quality of data openness platform services;(2)the three categories of condi-tions of technology,organization,and environment exhibit a"multiple conjuncture"feature,leading to 3 pathways to improve the quality of provincial data openness service platforms:government-led guidance,en-vironmentally constrained driving,and technology-driven promotion.Each provincial government should take measures adapting to local conditions,strengthen technological management capabilities,enhance collabora-tion systems with enterprises,the public,and other stakeholders,in order to optimize the quality of data openness services and to further propel the digital technology in empowering provincial data governance.
