Abstract

Peruvian universities are obliged to articulate their policies under an Open Government (GA) model according to Law n° 27 806 on Transparency and Access to Public Information, in order to guarantee the transparency of institutional management, through the implementation of tools, as web portals, that guarantee a democratic digital participation. The objective of the study was to determine the relationship between Open Government management and the use of the transparency portal in a Peruvian public university. To do this, a basic research with a quantitative approach and a correlational not experimental design was carried out. A survey was applied through two questionnaires to a sample of 48 workers in charge of publishing information. The results and conclusions reveal that the level of open government management and the use of a transparency portal are acceptable, with a direct correlation (r = 0.5) and with a sig. unilateral equal to 0.000 (p value <0.01). However, there is mistrust about the management of open government and the usefulness of the portal. In other words, the higher institution suffers from strategies or policies of government openness, which causes low public participation in the management of the university government.
