今天为大家带来的是Pierre Donatella, David Karlsson的研究:为什么政治家对相同的财政状况有不同的看法?》。

摘要


    行为公共管理研究提供了若干关于个人信息处理中的感知偏差的实证证据。在这些发现的基础上,我们旨在通过分析政治家对自身政府财务的感知来推进相关文献。基于动机推理理论,我们考察了瑞典市政府的背景,发现政治家的财务感知差距与其政党立场(建制派或反建制派)、议会地位(反对派或执政党)及正式层级职务相关。具体而言,代表反建制派和反对派的政治家,以及处于政治层级较低职位的政治家——即对市政事务的影响和责任较少——往往对财务状况的感知更为负面。这些发现表明政治家对财务状况的感知存在动机驱动的偏差,并且这些感知受到超越传统的财务、社会经济和人口因素的影响。


    Behavioral public administration research has provided empirical evidence of several perception biases when individuals process information. Building on these findings, we seek to advance the literature by analyzing politicians' financial perceptions of their own government. Drawing on the theory of motivated reasoning, we examine the context of Swedish municipalities and find financial perception gaps associated with politicians' party affiliation (establishment or anti-establishment), parliamentary position (opposition or governing party), and formal hierarchical rank. Specifically, politicians representing anti-establishment and opposition parties, as well as those occupying lower positions in the political hierarchy—and thus having less influence over and less responsibility for municipal affairs—tend to perceive the financial situation more negatively. These findings suggest the presence of a motivationally driven bias in politicians' perceptions of financial conditions; moreover, they illustrate that these perceptions are influenced by factors beyond the traditional financial, socioeconomic, and demographic ones examined in previous research.
