      abstract = {This paper is based on planned behavior theory to analyze  how members act when they participate in cooperative  governance. A Bviariate Probit Model is applied to  investigate the determinants of apple growers’  participation in cooperative governance which include the  behavioral characteristics of members to participate in  cooperative, cooperative characteristic, revenue change of  member before and after join in cooperative, trust and  commitment in between member and cooperative, growers own  as well as their household characteristics. Data from a  field survey in Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi and Gansu of 25  cooperatives and 273 Apple planting households (all  households are cooperative members) are used to estimate  the model. Empirical results show that after members  joining cooperative, their revenue improved, the  contractual relationship is established and they can get  better services from cooperatives, all of these can improve  the degree of members’ participation in cooperative  governance. Finally, the corresponding countermeasures and  suggestions are proposed from the perspective of  standardizing cooperative governance.},
