Introduction: The ecosystem is constantly changing, influenced by the rise of information and communication technologies, impacting the knowledge society globally, modifying its way of thinking, feeling and acting. This research seeks to describe the influence of responsible communication according to the dimensions of co-creation and citizen participation in students of the marketing and advertising program of the Department of Business Sciences at the Universidad de Costa, Barranquilla - Atlántico, Colombia. Methodology: Using a quantitative-explanatory approach and a non-experimental cross-sectional design, survey data were collected from a sample of 479 people, measuring six higher-order constructs for the variables of co-creation and citizen participation in their relationship with responsible communication. A partial least squares structural equation model was used to evaluate individual hypotheses about each dimension and two hypotheses for responsible communication. Results: The structural model showed significance in the influence that the two independent variables have on the level of responsible communication, with an explanatory power of 0.53. Furthermore, evidence was found against shared ideas and actions for the development of communication on the dimensions of responsible communication. Discussion and conclusions: The results showed that co-creation has a greater significant effect (0.85), followed by citizen participation (0.74), on responsible communication. Therefore, increasing co-creation in people, via innovation to interact, has a positive impact on responsible communication, and by improving citizen participation, through the management of technological resources, the level of responsible communication improves by 0.5 additional units. The research considered cross-sectional data, which capture the perception of the moment, lacking the evaluation of accumulated behavior, so a longitudinal measurement can show the effects on the adoption and maturity of responsible communication progressively, these reflections and contributions being ideal as recommendations for future research for the advancement of science, technology and innovation in the educational context.
