Replication is viewed sitting at the heart of any scientific progress. Walker James, and Brewer(2017) argued that replication studies with variation could help refine theory and strengthen external validity. Even though the importance of replication studies is obvious, experimental replications remain undeveloped in the discipline of public administration and management. This study is geared towards the reappraisal of existing experimental replication studies in the discipline of public administration. We reviewed and discussed 17 experimental replications, guided by the theoretical framework initiated by Walker et al. (2018). We discovered that the most prominent issue is establishing validity. Additionally, we observed that certain replication methods and fundamental experimental requirements were, to some extent, overlooked. We also noticed a scarcity of replications conducted within the Chinese context. We advocate for an increase in experimental replications that test theories developed in Western societies within the Chinese context. Comparative replications not only enhance the quality of Public Administration scholarship but also aid in the development of mid-range theories and robust lessons for experimental practice.

复制研究是将原始研究在具有差异性的情境中进行复制的科学研究方法。复制研究能加强理论的外部效度,使理论得到泛化和发展,是科学知识前进的核心动力。然而,在公共管理学科中,复制实验仍不发达,尤其缺少过程规约与评价指标。本研究基于华乐勤等人在2018年发起的复制研究 “七个决策点”理论框架,开发出量化编码薄,对公共管理学科中的17篇复制实验进行26项系统回顾与讨论,并解释如何稳健有效地进行复制实验。研究发现,现有复制实验在内部效度、外部效度、建构效度,复制具体方法和实验基本规约三大方面均有欠缺。基于本次编码实践和文献回顾,本文提出了可供未来学界参考的复制实验议程:其一,将产生并发展于西方社会与文化背景下的管理学理论假说复制于中国情景下;其二,开展比较复制实验,以期加强或证伪理论、识别理论边界条件,推进理论的泛化。本研究为公共管理学科中的复制实验提供翔实的操作步骤,以期与同仁共同提高复制实验研究的科学属性。
