“…Consistent with this, we found that exposure decreased with age. This hypothesis reinforces the conclusions of previous studies finding young people more likely than older users to perceive social media as a source of information, as well as an acceptable and legitimate channel for regular consumption and exchange of information (Dong and Ji 2018;Ekundayo et al, 2019).…”

“…Other characteristics that can help predict citizens' online information behavior are self-efficacy and/or political efficacy (Dong and Ji 2018;Halpern et al, 2017).

“…Thus, the lower the age of the social media user, the more likely the user is to be exposed to online government information. This hypothesis assumes that people aged 18-35 are more likely to perceive social media as a legitimate source of information (Ekundayo et al, 2019); thus, there is a higher probability for this group to acquire new and relevant information on social media sites (Dong and Ji 2018).…”

“…The literature review indicates a widespread increase in the use of digital and social media among government agencies around the world, primarily to disseminate and transmit government information, communicate with citizens, and streamline public services ( DePaula et al., 2018 ; Dong and Ji 2018 ; Knox 2016 ; Lai et al., 2020 ; Lee et al., 2020 ; Perez-Morote et al., 2020 ).

“…Social media engagement of critical importance, since residents' key role as ambassadors and co-creators in city brand, their quality of life and welfare is well supported in the existing literature (Braun et al, 2013;Luque-Martínez et al, 2007;Manyiwa et al, 2018).

The originality of the present study lies in that it examines generation Z residents' engagement with the city's social media during economic crisis in relation to city image, city brand personality and residents' overall satisfaction. In order to test our hypotheses, 947 usable questionnaires were collected in Thessaloniki, Greece via the mall intercept technique. The findings reveal the significant impact city image and city brand personality have on generation Z residents' engagement with city's social media. The results also demonstrate a negative linkage between residents' overall satisfaction and their engagement with the city's social media. Lastly, the results support that the relationship between residents' overall satisfaction and their engagement with city's social media accounts is moderated by the effect of economic crisis on residents' personal daily routine. Implications for theory and practice are also discussed.

This study tries to explore how social media had been used for public administration activities across the global by analysing the tweets tagged with "#government" and "#gov". On the basis of the literature social media usage by public administration had been classified into five dimensions, namely information dissemination and broadcasting; open transparency; open participation; open collaboration; and ubiquitous engagement. The study collects 296,417 tweets (after cleaning, 174,204 tweets) tagged as "#government" and "#gov" as open government data (as data is available to everyone but managed by private organizations) and this study applies open government data activities and social media analytics to derive the insights. The article also explores how different usage of the social media is effecting sharing and liking of the tweets. The implications of these findings can be important to government of different countries. The article concludes by pointing that social media can be used by citizens for open participation which can subsequently facilitate information dissemination and ubiquitous engagement.
