I am planning a study on transparency and acceptance of a policy development process. I found the following related studies: 

  • I plan to base the study on the work of De Fine Licht (2014) - links attached.
  • Cramer et al. (2008) measure the effects of transparency on trust in and acceptance of a content-based art recommender.
  • Trust (as a related concept) has been analyzed before in Becker, Heddier, Öksüz, Knackstedt (2014) - but in an non-public setting.
  • Organizational TransparencyEdit (2015-09-18): Two quantitative evaluation frameworks for organizational transparency have been proposed and tested before: Rawlins 2009: "Give the Emperor a Mirror: Toward Developing a Stakeholder Measurement of Organizational Transparency" and Dapko 2012: "Perceived Firm Transparency: Scale and Model Development"

I don't plan to include the Technology Acceptance Model, as it rather equates usage of IT as the measure for acceptance - which seems to fit badly for a policy's acceptance.

Am I missing some important study and are there any established questionnaires available?
