地方政府网络治理稳定性影响因素研究

网络治理理论以其整合政府、市场和公民社会的理念而引起越来越多公共管理研究者的兴趣,如何使其顺畅运行,取得稳定的运行状态成为公共管理领域亟待解决的问题。本文对地方政府网络治理及稳定性的概念进行了界定和分析,识别了资源依赖、关系质量、稳定性3个变量,进而提出资源依赖、关系质量、稳定性变量间影响关系的假设,最终形成地方政府网络治理稳定性影响因素概念模型。在调研访谈的基础上,对西安、南京、深圳等地政府部门进行问卷调查,通过SEM分析,结果表明,资源依赖对稳定性具有显著的正向影响关系,同时资源依赖还分别对关系质量具有显著的正向影响关系。关系质量中的信任和沟通也分别对稳定性具有显著的正向影响关系,而承诺对稳定性的直接影响不显著。据此,在地方政府网络治理过程中,需要对主体间的分工进行明确,注重治理主体资源与能力互补的重要性,重视关系质量的维护。

Research on Determinants of Local Networks Governance Stability

Network governance has attracted a growing number of researchers in public administration because of the concept of integration of government, market and civil society, which has gradually become one of the most important local governance forms in China. The problems of how to run smoothly and achieve stability have become urgent. This paper firstly defines and analyzes the concept of the stability and local network governance, and then three variables are identified including resource dependence, relationship quality and stability. Therefore, this paper proposes the hypothesis about the relationship among these three variables and finally constructs a conceptual model of factors affecting the stability of local government network governance. After surveys and interviews in local government agencies, SEM is used to test the hypothesis about the relationships among resource dependence, relationship quality and stability. Research results show that resource dependence has significant positive influence on stability and relationship quality. Both trust and communication have positive influence on stability, but commitment has not significantly influence on stability. Accordingly, it is essential to divide clearly between governance actors, pay attention to the importance of complementary resources and capabilities and the quality of relationships.
