 * From E-government to Social Government: Government Use of Social Media in Korea **

Khan, G. F. Young, H., & Park, H. W.

This paper explores a Twitter use of S. Korean central government by laying out the government’s networking strategies on Twitter into government to citizen (G2C), and government to government (G2G). The nature of social media interaction and networking strategies in the ministries was investigated by extracting the Tweets, Followers and Following relationships, and Lists option related to the 32 ministries in South Korea. The review of the network patterns and strategies was conducted by deploying a (descriptive) statistical analysis and social network technique for mapping out the government’s Twitter activities. Our analyses show that the government’s direct networking strategy with citizens does not necessarily bring citizen’s engagements to the government’s social media activities. However, it was found to be instrumental in reinforcing G2G relations.
