Citizens Motivation to Participate in the Citizenship Movement: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

The research reveals why citizens participate in civic movements. The study reveals the basic motivation of residents to move even though they do not get direct benefits. Citizens in the movement contribute materials and non-materials to respond to citizenship problems. This qualitative research used the systematic literature review (SLR) method. The SLR procedure adopts eight steps from Xiao and Watson. The data source for this SLR research is scientific texts in the form of journal articles. The research results show that the citizenship movement was based on citizen unrest. Citizen movement as a collective behaviour as an urgent response is based on the visibility of events and opportunities for action for movement participants. The movement grew through 3 periods: first, the movement began due to unrest, which gave rise to uncertainty and dissatisfaction among the citizens. The formulation of a common goal for movement marked the second. Last, discussions emerged about the driving organizational structure.
