    Drawing from the organizational theory,this study builds an analytical frame work for the data-sharing dilemma and conducts an analysis of the Big Data Bureau of J.City and Big Data Center of W.city.This study finds that the fragmentation of data-providing departments and the divergence of the data standard,data security,and risk avoidance,and other sharing dilemmas have different impacts on the two agencies of data governance.This is because the transaction costs between the two organizational structures varies in various institutional contexts such as the cost of data sharing,the capacity of accountability,agency benefits,and internal incentives are different for the two agencies of data governance.Dynamic changes in transaction costs lead to different results of data sharing.As a result,the policy suggestions are put forward from the perspective of organization structure and institution to enhance data sharing across government agencies.

    Drawn on the content analysis of over 600 local cadre evaluation regulations and statistical analysis of the career movement of prefectural-level leaders between 2003 and 2010, this paper examines the effect of economic performance, personal connection, and performance in social policy areas and social stability on local leaders’ promotion probability and speed. It shows that: first, for municipal party chiefs and mayors, economic performance is not associated with the promotion probability or speed; second, whereas for municipal party chiefs, the level of localities’ wealth and personal connection is positively associated with promotion probability, for mayors, age and performance in social policy areas matters more; third, performance in maintaining social stability does not affect the promotion prospect but delay career advancement for both municipal party chiefs and mayors. In addition to temporal and spatial variation, this paper also finds that evaluation criteria and political incentive structure for municipal party chiefs and mayors are different.

    Public Administration and Policy Review    2023, 12 (3): 152-.  
    Abstract (1201)      PDF(pc) (1550KB)(6286)       Save
    The wave of conjoint experiment research has been rising in top-tier international public administration journals, tapping the great application potential of conjoint experiments. However, domestic public administration scholars pay little attention to the conjoint experimental method. The lack of application of the conjoint experiment restricts its promotion and dampens disciplinary communication and cooperation internationally. This study conducts a descriptive literature review of 62 conjoint experimental studies published in the mainstream public administration journals, revealing their publication trends, topics of interest, content characteristics, authors' region affiliation, and technical details. Subsequently, this study introduces the rationale and characteristics of conjoint experiment, as well as its application conditions related to the type of dependent variable and the numbers and levels of independent variable. Next, this study demonstrates the execution of conjoint experiments in R language through two examples. In the end, this study offers insights into the application prospect of conjoint experiments in public administration.

    How Working Experiences in State-owned Enterprises Influence Behavior of Bureaucrats: Empirical Evidence from Prefecture-level Officials in China
    XU Jing, LIU Zhipeng, GAO Bo
    Public Administration and Policy Review    2023, 12 (1): 81-95.  
    Abstract (843)      PDF(pc) (1378KB)(5243)       Save
    The early working experience of local officials will influence their subsequent administrative behaviour. Based on the relevant data of principal officials of prefecture-level cities in China from 2000 to 2015, this study investigates the impact of previous working experiences on Officials’ behaviours after taking office. This article shows that compared to municipal party secretaries without working experiences in state-owned enterprises, in secretaries’ jurisdictions who once worked in state-owned enterprises, counties are lesslikely to have female party secretaries or mayors. Further analysis shows that this effect is more significant among party secretaries with working experience in local state-owned enterprises, while the working experience in central state-owned enterprises has no significant negative effect. Besides, since 2011, the central government' s regulation on the proportion of women in local government leadership has reduced this negative effect. A possible explanation is that working experience in state-owned enterprises might make officials more focused on numerical type, extensive growth of the local economy, while women officials tend to pay more attention to some other soft development indicators. This study provides new insights for understanding the behaviour patterns of political elites and the gender composition of grassroots bureaucrats in China.

    Abstract (945)      PDF(pc) (1510KB)(5151)       Save
    How to measure the level of government service performance from the public and social perspectives is a hot topic of academic concern and discussion. This paper concretizes the public value in the field of China, puts forward the public value system of government service performance evaluation, and constructs the index system of government service performance measurement from the dimensions of mission, tool and equity value. This paper introduces user experience evaluation in the field of psychology and marketing, and organizes the investigator to simulate the identity of an official to conduct on-line and off-line user experience and empirical analysis on the government service performance of 10 counties in A city. The study found that the local government in the process of government service construction has low transparency, digital transition lag, response feedback poor effectiveness and other obvious problems, the reform pay more attention to the value of tools such as“Efficiency” and“Technology”, while the value of rights and interests such as“Response” and“Convenience” are weakened. This paper constructs the government service performance measurement index system from the perspective of public value, which is expected to provide theoretical basis and evaluation criteria for government service construction. This paper introduces user experience evaluation into the field of government service, in order to observe the real performance of government service from the perspective of public and social demand. Through first-hand data analysis, help enhance the accuracy and authenticity of the evaluation. In this sense, it provides a new attempt for government service performance evaluation.

    An Evaluation Framework for Urban Safety Resilience in the Context of New Security Pattern: Exploration and Construction#br#
    ZHU Zhengwei, GUO Ruilian, YUAN Ling
    Public Administration and Policy Review    2024, 13 (3): 138-.  
    Abstract (972)      PDF(pc) (1362KB)(5026)       Save
    As a new paradigm of urban development, safety resilient city is an important dynamic field to accelerate the modernization of China's system and capacity for security. Under the strategic guidance of "ensuring a new development pattern with a new security pattern", the practical demand for evaluating urban safety resilience is becoming increasingly urgent. However, the existing evaluation systems for urban resilience and urban safety resilience in China cannot meet the current needs for evaluating urban safety resilience due to relatively insufficient theoretical research and low fit between indicator design and actual conditions. Based on the new development stage, this paper proposes a three-dimensional resilience perspective and constructs a forward-looking, guiding, and directional evaluation framework for urban safety resilience. It emphasizes that the evaluation of structural resilience should focus on the system of centralized and unified leadership of the CPC and the system of multi-subject collaborative governance; the evaluation of functional resilience should focus on mechanisms of coordinating development and security, integration of engineering projects and non-engineering measures, conversion from conventional governance to emergency management, informational correction and organizational learning; the evaluation of guaranteed resilience should focus on the optimization of resource allocation, the empowerment of digital technology and the guarantee of law regulations. This framework is intended to provide theoretical bases and management tools for the evaluation of safety resilient city, which is conducive to the security for high-quality development and achieve the safety and transformation of economic and social development.

    Central–local relations are a matter of great importance to developmentalists because they highlight an intriguing puzzle in public administration especially in large states: how policies decided at higher echelons of the formal system can possibly be implemented by the multitude of intermediary and local actors across the system. In the case of China—the most populous nation in the world, the contrast between the authoritarian facade of the Chinese regime and yet the proliferation of implementation gaps over many policy arenas adds additional complexity to the puzzle. This article reviews changes in central–local relations in the 60 years of history of People’s Republic of China (PRC) as the outcome of four co-evolving processes, and clarifies the roles of each process: state building and national integration, development efficiency, career advancement and external influences. It points out the continuous pre-dominance of administrative decentralization from 1950s to present time, and the new emphasis on institutionalized power sharing in the context of new state-market boundaries since 1980s. In conclusion, the article suggests going beyond the traditional reliance on the compliance model to understand central–local interactions and the abundant implementation gaps in a context of central–local co-agency. Besides, it needs to adopt “rule of law” to deal with the central-local relations, thereby improving policy implementation.

    Corruption is an important issue in modern government governance. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), China has made initial progress in its anti-corruption work by " cracking down on both tigers and flies ". However, the existing domestic literature on anti-corruption cases and experience review mostly studies the causes, mechanisms and paths of corruption from non-configuration cultural, economic and political perspectives, and lacks the interpretation of corruption paths based on different kinds of complex causality. As a result, based on the multi-set configuration of QCA qualitative comparative analysis and the analysis advantage in the medium number of cases, through the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis of classic cases (fsQCA), solve the theoretical "portrait" of "what kind of officials will be corruption", and show the new configuration mechanism path for the early warning of corruption.

    The social construction of target population theory is a public policy theory proposed by American scholars Anne Schneider and Helen Ingram, which has become one of the most influential western policy theories. Their theory focuses on how policies allocate benefits and burdens among different target populations, and the impact of such distribution on democracy. Their theory originated from the reflection of the American democratic crisis and was devoted to the design of public policies that contribute to the development of democracy. On the basis of policy design theory, social construction theory and critical theory, their theory presents a series of important theoretical propositions, which has been tested in a large number of empirical studies. In general, as both a policy analysis framework and a policy democratic theory, their theory is of great significance to public policy research in China.
