今天为大家带来的是Thomas Schillemans, Marija Aleksovska的研究：《让非惩罚性问责变得重要：在联合实验中探索非惩罚性问责的行为效应》。
摘要
惩罚性措施（制裁）是问责制的核心。然而，使用惩罚性措施代价高昂，因为它们会损害人际关系。先前的研究表明，惩罚性措施往往未被使用。公共部门行为者在没有惩罚性措施的非正式问责制环境中进一步运作。此外，新公共治理等学说将非正式关系网置于等级制度和惩罚性措施之上。在此背景下，我们研究非惩罚性问责制何时以及为何有效。为问责制条件下的决策行为制定了三种理论逻辑。我们认为，问责者受到外在、内在和关系动机的共同驱动。联合实验用于研究丹麦行政领导人在不同非惩罚性问责制条件下的决策（N = 761）。我们的研究结果表明，外在动机和关系动机的结合解释了非惩罚性环境中问责者的决策。这项研究扩展了我们对问责制行为影响的理论知识，并为政策实践者提供了见解。
Punitive measures (sanctions) are central to accountability. Their use is however costly as they harm relationships. Prior research shows that punitive measures often remain unused. Public sector actors further operate in informal accountability settings where punitive measures are absent. Additionally, doctrines such as New Public Governance prioritize informal networks above hierarchy and punitive measures. Against this background, we study when and why nonpunitive accountability can be effective. Three theoretical logics are developed for decisionmaking behavior under the condition of accountability. We theorize account-givers are driven by a combination of extrinsic, intrinsic, and relational motivation. A conjoint experiment is used to study decisions (N = 761) of administrative leaders in Denmark in varying nonpunitive accountability conditions. Our findings suggest that a combination of extrinsic motivation and relational motivation explains decisions of account-givers in nonpunitive settings. The study expands our theoretical knowledge of the behavioral effects of accountability and offers insights for policy practitioners.
