Abstract

This study examines how digital governance networks shape community empowerment in Indonesian villages, focusing on the mediating role of participation quality and citizen facing transparency and accountability. Drawing on network governance and empowerment theory, the study conceptualizes village digitalization as an inter-organizational governance arrangement rather than a standalone administrative intervention. Quantitative data were collected from villages in East Java Province between May and July 2025, involving governance network respondents and 1,200 community members. Governance network characteristics were measured using social network analysis, while citizen perceptions of participation quality, transparency and accountability, and community empowerment were captured through structured surveys. The hypotheses were tested using multilevel structural equation modelling to distinguish village level governance effects from individual level empowerment mechanisms. The results show that higher levels of digital integration and greater network density are positively associated with participation quality and transparency at the village level, while highly centralized governance networks are associated with lower participation quality. At the individual level, participation quality and transparency and accountability are positively related to community empowerment. Mediation analysis confirms that the effects of digital integration and governance network structure on empowerment are indirect and transmitted through governance processes. The study contributes to public administration scholarship by demonstrating that digital governance reforms enhance community empowerment only when embedded within collaborative and transparent governance networks.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology has transformed how humanitarian organizations mobilize and engage volunteers. Within this shift, digital volunteering has become essential for improving coordination, transparency, and responsiveness in disaster management. This study examines the causal relationships among Digital Volunteering (DV), Conflict Management (CM), Social Capital (SC), and Resistance to Change (RC) within the Muhammadiyah Disaster Management Center (MDMC) in East Java, Indonesia. Using a quantitative explanatory design, data were collected from 200 active digital volunteers and analyzed with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Results show that Digital Volunteering positively affects Conflict Management and negatively influences Resistance to Change. Furthermore, Conflict Management mediates the link between DV and RC, while Social Capital moderates both DV–RC and CM–RC relationships. These findings highlight how digital engagement enhances communication and collaboration while reducing resistance through effective conflict management and strong social networks. The study contributes to understanding how digital transformation strengthens volunteer adaptability and organizational resilience in humanitarian settings
