A Study on Factors Affecting Resident’s Trust on Local Government
Sang-Yup Lee

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to provide a suggestion on what kind of mechanism is necessary for the local community to fundamentally develop into a better society and what group action is needed to pursue common interests. A self-administered questionnaire was used to obtain 180 data. The main variables were structural model analysis by measuring the trust of local government, government behavior, policy orientation, public officials, administrative culture, institutional and organizational trust with a 5-point Likert scale. The higher the trust in the head of the organization, the higher the institutional trust and the greater the confidence in the local government. Policy factors and public officials/administrative culture factors were not significant as factors affecting institutional trust but trust in local governments was found to affect local government trust. Squared multiple correlations were 36.3, 69.6 and 95.4%, respectively. The results of this analysis provide concrete implications for how local governments should improve their trust in local governments and thus ensure policy compliance in specific policy enforcement.
