Existing literature has established a connection between citizens’ satisfaction with their communities and their involvement in coproduction. However, little is known about how different types of community satisfaction affect citizens’ engagement in coproduction and the role of perceived community attachment in this relationship. To address this gap, we conducted a survey study in China. Our findings indicate that, in the Chinese context, citizens’ satisfaction with community governance—defined as the quality of public services—positively correlates with their engagement in coproduction, while satisfaction with the community environment negatively impacts their involvement. Additionally, residents’ perceived community attachment positively mediates the relationship between their community satisfaction and engagement in coproduction. This study contributes to the literature by shedding light on the mechanisms that underpin citizens’ engagement in coproduction.
