The most powerful and crucial concept today is a sustainable digital economy. This research is aimed to investigate the predictors of a sustainable digital economy in China. In addition, the mediating roles of social reforms and economic policies were investigated between good governance and a sustainable digital economy. This cross-sectional research considered partial least square-structural equational modeling (PLS-SEM) as an analysis technique. The data were collected from 317 managerial staff of the e-commerce industry in China via a self-structured questionnaire. A random sampling technique was applied in the data collection process. Results showed that good governance positively impacts the sustainable digital economy, social reforms, and economic policies. Additionally, an increase in social reforms and economic policies led to a sustainable digital economy in China. Social reforms and economic policies partially mediated the relationship between good governance and a sustainable digital economy. This research contributes to the body of knowledge by identifying components of a sustainable digital economy and examining whether good governance may aid in attaining a sustainable digital economy. Nowadays, research on the sustainable digital economy has got attention from policymakers and researchers around the globe. These outcomes suggest several ways to improve the sustainable digital economy in China. This research is not without limitations, such as cross-sectional and based on responses of the respondents. Several research avenues were discussed and can be influenced by many factors for future perspectives.
当今最强大且关键的概念是可持续数字经济。本研究旨在探究中国可持续数字经济的预测因素。此外，还研究了社会改革和经济政策在善治与可持续数字经济之间的中介作用。这项横断面研究将偏最小二乘结构方程模型（PLS-SEM）作为分析技术。数据通过自行设计的问卷从中国电子商务行业的317名管理人员中收集。在数据收集过程中采用了随机抽样技术。结果表明，善治对可持续数字经济、社会改革和经济政策有积极影响。此外，社会改革和经济政策的增加促成了中国的可持续数字经济。社会改革和经济政策部分中介了善治与可持续数字经济之间的关系。本研究通过识别可持续数字经济的组成部分并考察善治是否有助于实现可持续数字经济，为知识体系做出了贡献。如今，关于可持续数字经济的研究已受到全球政策制定者和研究人员的关注。这些结果为改善中国的可持续数字经济提出了几种方法。本研究并非没有局限性，例如横断面研究且基于受访者的回答。讨论了几个研究方向，未来的研究可能会受到许多因素的影响。
