However, the collaborative processes involving urban politics during the development of such platforms are often overlooked. The present study asks how a city government and a tech company collaborate to develop an urban platform through a smart city mobile application (app). The analysis focuses on Magelang Smart City (<i>Magesty</i>), a mobile app for urban services initiated by the Magelang City government. Employing a case study research design, a series of in-depth interviews involving representatives from the local government and the tech company who collaborated in developing <i>Magesty</i> between August 2020 and January 2021 revealed the significant influence of the tech company in shaping the platform. This finding highlights the recent fad of platformization in cities, driven by private sector involvement, which reflects technocratic, neoliberal, and de-political approaches. Consequently, adopting a more participatory and citizen-centered approach to urban platform development becomes increasingly urgent to better address the needs of city residents.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47153,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Affairs","volume":"25 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143836264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, we analyse the causes that may explain the online filing of tax returns through third parties (tax advisors, family or friends). To do so, we use the Survey on Equipment and Use of Information and Communication Technologies in Households 2022 conducted by the National Statistics Institute (INE). From the questionnaire we have extracted a total of 12 explanatory variables grouped into three categories related to experience and self-efficacy, available resources, and socio-demographic characteristics and a control variable that collects information related to the type of habitat based on population density. The information and study variables have been analysed through various descriptive and inferential statistics. The results of our research allow us to affirm that digital instruments linked to public administration, such as online tax returns, continue to present problems of access and use for citizens. The people who most frequently outsource their online tax returns are those who are less familiar with the Internet on a daily basis. This situation also affects older people, women, people with a lower level of education, households with a lower level of income, and people who live in areas with a lower level of population density. In this way, besides being regressive, it could be reducing the autonomy of these groups in their dealings with the public administration.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47153,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Affairs","volume":"25 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143818689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on gender equality scores of top 50 companies from Equileap's 2022 gender equality list; financial performance data from annual reports; and corporate responsibility scores from Sustainalytics, this study reveals that mid-cap companies fared poorly on all gender equality metrics and does not completely embrace gender equality. Less than 50% of women directors are found on the boards of 70% of mid-cap corporations. Women represented only 42% of company board of directors' positions and 32% of the executive leadership positions. A mean pay gap of 13.54% is observed in 85% of the mid-cap companies. Gender equality accounted for 26% variation in the mid-cap firms' financial performance. Initiatives to promote gender equality though do not affect the responsible behaviour of the mid-cap firms. Novelty of the study lies in testing the gender equality claims of mid-cap companies labelled as ‘top gender equal’ organisations across different sectors and ascertaining the influence of board's gender equality on firm's financial performance and responsible behaviour. The study makes a unique contribution to gender equality literature by proving that financial indicators are not enough to motivate corporate to truly embrace gender equality. Neither aspect like flexible working, training and work–life balance can be projected as the only measures for solving the issue of gender inequality. Results also contribute to social justification theory's literature by highlighting the fact that the theory promotes the ‘social stability’ or ‘status quo’ more than advancing the ‘social change’ when applied in the context of gender equality.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47153,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Affairs","volume":"25 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143818692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These findings provide a comprehensive overview of cryptocurrency fluctuations during the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine.

Consequently, this research explores demand/need and political factors as explanations of resource allocation across Colombian municipalities through the national rural housing program. The study uses a panel dataset of the 1100 Colombian municipalities during 2009–2016. Municipal socio-demographic characteristics assess rural housing demand, while vote share for national, regional, and local leaders measures political interests. Findings suggest that the program favors core voters, as municipalities with higher support for the president receive greater rural housing allocations.

Women's leadership in the space of technological advancement, however, is significant. Women's leadership of digital technology advancement, their championing of “smart cities,” e-government and e-governance, is most notable at local government level. This study adopts a qualitative approach to spotlighting the case studies of two women mayors in East Java, Indonesia, and delves into the modalities of their leadership to highlight the challenges and opportunities for advancing the nexus between technology and governance in their cities. Despite challenges experienced by the women mayors such as the lack of integrated data and centralized repository of information to make data-driven policy decisions, they exhibited resilience and innovation, leveraging ICT to revolutionize public services and govern their administration, leading to increasing public budgeting transparency and accountability, as well as participation following easy access to public services. These best practices demonstrate that women's e-leadership at the local government level is indisputably significant but also raise important questions about the need for policymakers to pay attention to the inherent gendered modalities of leadership in relation to digital transformation.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47153,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Public Affairs","volume":"25 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143717212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
