ABSTRACT: Using an empirical study, a survey was conducted
among 354 rural citizen from 80 villages in Guangdong Province to investigate
the relationship of citizen policy participation with the effect of rural
revitalization and its mechanism. The results show that the policy “knowledge”,
“do” and satisfaction have significant positive correlation with the effect of
rural revitalization. The relationship structure of the core variables was
supported by the structural model (SEM) technology, and the test results of the
hypothesis model based on the Bootstrap method showed that policy satisfaction
was an important mediating variable in the positive impact path of policy
“knowledge” on the effect of rural revitalization. Although the mediating
effect of policy “do” is not supported in the positive influence path of citizen
policy “knowledge” on the effect of rural revitalization, it forms a chain of
multiple mediating effects in the positive influence mechanism of citizen
policy “knowledge” on the effect of the rural revitalization through citizen
policy satisfaction. Therefore, in the process of promoting the construction
and development of rural revitalization, we should not only pay attention to
the scientific nature and effectiveness of the policy itself, but also take
into account the participation of citizens in the policy and their positive
evaluation and feedback on the policy, so as to optimize the policy supply and
continuously improve the effect of rural revitalization.
