摘要
1999年在福建漳州实施而后在全国广泛扩散的效能建设是制约权力、能力建设与问责激励的政府综合改革与创新,但关于效能建设及其效果之间因果关系的实证证据尚未发现。基于中国大陆30个省份2004—2011年的面板数据,本文就效能建设对行政规范、政府规模和政府透明等绩效维度的影响进行了实证分析。研究发现:效能建设对政府绩效的影响存在显著的时间效应,能显著提升政府透明,但该影响边际递减,同时其对政府规模的影响边际递增;效能建设对政府绩效的影响在经济发展水平不同的地区存在差异,在欠发达地区效能建设对政府透明和行政规范的影响更大;在扩散前期和后期采纳效能建设的效果并无显著差异,即象征性采纳的调节效应不显著。研究认为,应重视提升政府管理潜能的改革,进一步推进效能建设,同时通过进一步加强效能建设的公众参与程度倒逼政府改革。
Efficiency construction,originated in Zhangzhou,Fujian province in 1999 and diffused widely among Chinese local governments,which is in the same strain with government reforms in the new era. The objective of this paper is to illustrate and examine whether efficiency construction can improve the government performance. An Empirical Analysis,involving panel data from 30 provinces in mainland of China in 2004-2011,is conducted. The results show that effects of efficiency construction on government performance have a significant time lag. Efficiency construction has a significantly positive effect on government transparency and the marginal effect is diminishing,while its marginal effect on government size is increasing. Effects of efficiency construction on government performance vary with regions and its effects on government transparency and administration appropriateness are more significant in less developed regions. In addition,it fails to verify the moderating effect of symbolic adoption. The key limitation of the study is that the dependent variable is measured by a dichotomous variable according to the adoption of efficiency construction,which makes it difficult to explore the independent and the interaction effect of the specific measures of efficiency construction on government performance. Another limitation arises from the data,which just focuses on the provinces,therefore generalizing the results to the municipalities is in risk. The findings can assist managers in properly regarding efficiency construction and its effects on government performance,continuing to promote efficiency construction further and strengthening public participation in it. Expanding on the previous research on the role of government reforms,this study verified the effects of efficiency construction,a comprehensive government reform in China,on government size,administration appropriateness and government transparency. Moreover,the moderating effects of the adoption time and the region on model are revealed.
