With the rise of Internet, ¡§Electronic Mailbox¡¨ becomes the most immediate communication channel between government and citizens beyond limit of time and distance. Apparently, Electronic Mailbox appears as one of the two-way interactive e-government services; moreover, it is commonly available on all country government web sites and offers two-way communication service channel. Citizens are able to express their opinions, doubts, and complaints regarding policies, laws, and regulations via such electronic approach, and can look forward to receiving prompt responses or results. On the other hand, through civic participation, government enables to gather public opinions and then, to transform them into knowledge resources to policy and strategy decision-making. Therefore, the service quality of Electronic Mailbox not only becomes the manifest index of e-government service, but also influences citizen¡¦s satisfaction with government services. According to what Zeithaml et al. (2002) proposed as ¡§e-SQ model,¡¨ we set up the "e-SQ model¡¨ of Kaohsiung City Mayer¡¦s Electronic Mailbox, and bring up six dimensions as ¡§efficiency,¡¨ ¡§reliability,¡¨ ¡§fulfillment,¡¨ ¡§privacy,¡¨ ¡§responsiveness,¡¨ and ¡§empathy¡¨ to prove the proposition that ¡§Information Gap,¡¨ ¡§Design Gap¡¨ and ¡§Fulfillment Gap¡¨ do exist during the process of e-service quality delivery, especially among the manager, designer and the citizen. Through the method of interview and e-questionnaire, we confirm these propositions. The result shows that among these expectations of services, citizens would like to emphasize on ¡§operation instructions¡¨ most, subsequently ¡§ease of use,¡¨ and then ¡§politeness of responsiveness and offering interactive service.¡¨ After experiencing the services of Electronic Mailbox, citizens satisfy with ¡§operation instructions and submitting on line¡¨ the most, but almost displease with ¡§the accuracy of commitment¡¨ and ¡§degree of solving the problem,¡¨ which means the government has to understand the needs and troubles of the citizens, and then figure out some practical way to solve their problems. At last, according to these factors, this thesis proposes certain suggestions from the viewpoints of ¡§system,¡¨ ¡§the government staff,¡¨ and ¡§the needs of citizens¡¨ in order to bridge the gap between the manager, designer, and citizen. Moreover, this thesis hopes to benefit the exercise and service quality of Electronic Mailbox and citizen¡¦s satisfaction.

Citizen Relationship Management is introduced from enterprise¡¦s concept and strategy of Customer Relationship Management and applied from the technology of Information and Communication Technologies by government to give an impetus to build a good and interacting management relationship between the government and citizens. ¡§Electronic Mailbox¡¨ is the fastest and the most immediate communication channel between government and citizens. Citizens are able to express their opinions, doubts, and complaints regarding policies, laws, and regulations via mailbox, and can expect to receive prompt responses and results. On the other hand, through citizen¡¦s participation, government is able to compile public opinions and transform them into knowledge resources of policy and strategy decision-making. Periodical surveys of satisfaction rate will be very helpful and effective in terms of mailbox mechanism review, service quality improvement, and government image preservation. The primary objective of this research is to: (1) Realize the satisfaction rate of city mayor¡¦s mailbox response mechanism. (2) Realize citizens¡¦ suggestions and expectations toward city mayor¡¦s mailbox process procedure. (3) Build a database for city mayor¡¦s mailbox. (4) Plan on the prototype of future city mayor¡¦s mailbox. (5) Conclude from the analysis and findings of satisfaction rate, and provide a specific and practicable proposal for policy decision-making. Exceptional achievements: To complete the re-structure of city mayor¡¦s mailbox procedure before scheduled time and include surveys of satisfaction rate into the mechanism. To generate, send, and collect questionnaires for individual closed cases. Research findings: After the reforms of city mayor¡¦s mailbox, there are still many aspects, such as policy, management, implementation, and system, which require further discussion and improvement. In the short term: (1) To continuously review system function and expend service areas. (2) To integrate traditional appeals and opinions in order to resolve gaps in digital knowledge. (3) to enhance the concept and consensus of offering better services to the public. (4) To improve qualities and effects by monitoring by each level of government agencies. (5) To increase public involvement via media broadcast. (6) To regularly publish and examine the effects of process and the analysis of public satisfaction. In the medium term: (1) To integrate Computer Telephony Integration technology and set up a customer service center. (2) To combine traditional, wired, wireless technologies and expend the service areas. Future outlook: (1) To share the reform experiences of Kaohsiung City and assist all levels of government agencies to popularize mailbox mechanism¡F(2) To aggressively promote mailbox to foreign countries to internationalize this mechanism.
