Abstract
This study analyzes how citizens' satisfaction with democratic governance values and perceived government performance affect public trust in government in China and South Korea. Another contribution of this study to the field of public administration is to test the impact of empowered citizens, trust in people, social networks, and individual demographic variables on trust in government. This study finds that the level of satisfaction with democratic governance values and the government's performance in dealing with political corruption, the economy, and human rights are all significantly associated with trust in government in China. Government performance when dealing with political corruption and the economy is significantly associated with trust in government in South Korea as well. Citizens' commitment to participate in elections is positively associated with trust in government in South Korea. (The rest omitted)
