It has many advantages, such as improving the utilization rate of logistics resources, reducing carbon emissions, etc., so it has been highly regarded by the government. This paper systematically studies what types of government supports are available and explores the influence mechanism of these government supports on users' participation intention in digital freight platform.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>In total 191 valid questionnaires were collected through a questionnaire survey in China.

The impact of standardization of tax administration on actual carriers' participation intention is the most substantial, followed by that of financial resource support, while the user subsidies exert a minimum impact. Moreover, the impact of standardization of tax administration and user subsidies on legitimacy perception is related to enterprise scale.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study enriches the field of crowdsourcing logistics research and provides referential suggestions for the formulation and implementation of government supports to promote the sustainable development of green crowdsourcing logistics platforms represented by digital freight platform. In addition, in the growth process of new models with strong social benefits, the government can promote its development through a variety of policy tools to improve the accuracy of government policies.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/jeim-07-2021-0322","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,20]],"date-time":"2022-12-20T21:39:36Z","timestamp":1671572376000},"page":"583-604","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Impact of government support on users' participation in emerging green crowdsourcing logistics model: evidence from digital freight platform in China"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Liang","family":"Xiao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5074-7012","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tongping","family":"Ke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Fumao","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Peihua","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,22]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"key2023030717332206800_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"355","DOI":"10.5465\/amr.2010.0146","article-title":"Crowdsourcing as a solution to distant search","volume":"37","year":"2012","journal-title":"Academy of Management Review"},{"issue":"4","key":"key2023030717332206800_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"815","DOI":"10.1177\/0266666915571427","article-title":"Factors affecting e-commerce adoption among SMEs in Ghana","volume":"32","year":"2016","journal-title":"Information Development"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2023030717332206800_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"74","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02723327","article-title":"On the evaluation of structural equation methods","volume":"16","year":"1988","journal-title":"Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science"},{"issue":"4","key":"key2023030717332206800_ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"857","DOI":"10.1177\/0149206309353944","article-title":"Users as innovators: a review, critique, and future research directions","volume":"36","year":"2010","journal-title":"Journal of Management"},{"issue":"8","key":"key2023030717332206800_ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1122","DOI":"10.1080\/13691181003624090","article-title":"Moving the crowd at Threadless: motivations for participation in a crowdsourcing application","volume":"13","year":"2010","journal-title":"Information Communication and Society"},{"issue":"2","key":"key2023030717332206800_ref006","first-page":"134","article-title":"Technology commercialization in road infrastructure: how government affects the variation and appropriability of technology","volume":"25","year":"2010","journal-title":"Journal of Product Innovation Management"},{"issue":"4","key":"key2023030717332206800_ref007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1509\/jimk.14.4.1","article-title":"An empirical examination of a technology adoption model for the context of China","volume":"14","year":"2006","journal-title":"Journal of International Marketing"},{"issue":"2","key":"key2023030717332206800_ref008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"351","DOI":"10.1007\/s11365-014-0342-3","article-title":"The possible adverse impact of innovation subsidies: some evidence from Italy","volume":"12","year":"2016","journal-title":"International Entrepreneurship and Management Journal"},{"issue":"3","key":"key2023030717332206800_ref009","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"600","DOI":"10.1108\/JEIM-06-2019-0148","article-title":"What drives organizations to switch to cloud ERP systems?
