Purpose The present research aims to identify determinants for citizen’ behavioural adoption of e-government, explore relationships among these variables and investigate whether the proposed model can provide a more comprehensive manner to understand the adoption of e-government. Design/methodology/approach First, a survey is administered to collect data, then the Cronbach’s alpha is assessed for internal consistency of measurement scales; second, confirmatory factor analysis is conducted to evaluate the measurement model; finally, a structural equation model is used to test the proposed hypotheses and explore the determinants of e-government adoption. Findings Results indicate that the proposed model is a stable model with powerful explanatory of variation. In addition, some new relationships in the e-government context are found, whose disposition to trust has positive effect on social norms, whereas perceived risk negatively influences perceived behaviour control. Moreover, other key dominants have been investigated. Originality/value The findings have enabled us to better understand factors affecting intention and also provided a solid theoretical research model for future study.

The Creative Research Group (CRG) is the special high-level scientific and innovation team funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China to promote basic research at the frontiers of science. In general, there are problems of “structure anomie” and “cooperation inefficiency” in the operations and teamwork dynamics within the nationwide CRG project. By extending and developing the two-stage teamwork quality model, this study aims to depict and analyze the impact factors behind the success and sustainability of the Creative Research Group (SSCRG), and reveal the relationships among them. Herein, rationality of team structure (ROTS) is used to describe the rationality of team formation and structure collocation, teamwork quality (TWQ) is used to describe the process of team members’ integration and cooperation, and SSCRG includes team performance, personal success and team comprehensive impacts. The results show that ROTS and TWQ have different influences on SSCRG, while TWQ is the key mediation factor between ROTS and SSCRG. In summary, the model built describes the complex phenomena and relationships in the teamwork of the CRG, and helps us to understand and solve the problems of structure and cooperation. Although the limitations lie in the specific samples and research methods, the extension and migration of classical models and theories would help to further deepen such research and contribute to the governance and development of such innovation teams.

Based on the existing literature and field observation, the research takes Guangzhou as representative city and its deviation in the development of urban metro public space represented as the research object. It is believed that the deviation is mainly manifested in six dimensions: variables of social demography, details of taking metro, daily stress perception of passengers, perception on humanized design level of metro, perception on integration and intelligent level of metro space, perception on characteristic design and humanistic design level of metro space, and their correlation will be verified through data collection and analysis. The results found that: 1) Stress perception of passengers will lead to a negative predictive effect on passengers’ perception on metro public space development trend. 2) Passengers’ perception on humanized design level of metro will have positive and active effect on their perception on metro public space development trend. 3) Characteristic design and humanistic design level of metro space will lead to a positive predictive effect on passengers’ perception on metro public space development trend. 4) In the process that humanized design level of metro affects passengers’ perception on metro public space development trend, characteristic design and humanistic design level of metro space play a mediating role. 5) Passengers’ stress perception have moderating effect in the process that humanized design level of metro indirectly affects the passengers’ perception on metro public space development trend.
