今天为大家带来的是Suyeon Jo, Kenneth J. Meier的研究:《公众对行政价值权衡的认知:科层制伦理与民主伦理》。
关于科层制价值与民主价值的学术辩论一直是公共管理领域的核心议题之一。尽管理论讨论丰富,但我们对公众在实践中对这两类行政价值的重视程度知之甚少。本文通过考察公众对有效性、效率、公平性和参与性四项行政价值的看法来填补这一文献空白。同时,我们还测试了科层制价值与民主价值之间是否存在权衡关系。为此,我们设计了一项情境实验,以美国养老院为背景,将不同的行政价值(有效性、效率、公平性和参与性)作为实验处理变量。研究结果显示,公众在评估公共组织时会考虑不同的价值,并且认识到效率与参与之间存在权衡。此研究对理解公共管理中的道德框架,尤其是科层制伦理和民主伦理,具有重要的启示。Scholarly debate over bureaucratic and democratic values has been one of the fundamental questions in the field of public administration. Despite a volume of theoretical discussions, we know little about how the general public cares about these two sets of administrative values in practice. This research fills the gap in the literature by investigating the public's views on four administrative values: effectiveness and efficiency, as well as equity and participation. We also test whether there is a tradeoff between bureaucratic and democratic values. We conducted a vignette experiment using the context of US nursing homes where different administrative values (effectiveness, efficiency, equity, and participation) serve as treatment manipulations. Our findings suggest that the public considers different values in assessing public organizations, and that they recognize the trade-off between efficiency and participation. The study has broad implications for our understanding of ethical frameworks of public administration, namely bureaucratic and democratic ethos.
