Abstract

This paper focuses on the credibility of non-profit organizations, constructs a dynamic model based on information disclosure and public participation, and investigates the interaction mechanism between these two factors and their impacts on credibility. The research findings indicate that information disclosure and public participation will enhance credibility through synergistic effects, and there is a threshold effect: The marginal effect increases significantly after breaking through the critical value. Additionally, costs limit information disclosure, and the characteristics of low-cost and high-response channels influence effective public participation. To ensure system stability, relevant personnel must balance the synergistic effects with the speed of credibility loss; the optimal strategy involves coordinating both factors to achieve this balance. The study offers a theoretical framework and practical solutions for enhancing the credibility of non-profit organizations.
