今天为大家带来的是Leif E. Kårtvedt的研究：《更大，而非更精简？地方政府的机构化与行政开支规模》。
摘要
政府设立机构以提高公共服务效率，旨在提高政府绩效。然而，机构化使得政府的服务提供更加复杂，因为服务提供者与政府的控制保持距离。为了保持支持前线服务提供的能力，政府可能扩大其中央行政开支。从概念上讲，开支构成组织支持初级生产过程可用的资源，例如管理协调和技术支持。本研究基于296个挪威地方政府的研究和登记数据，分析了机构化是否与政治体系中的行政开支规模相关。研究发现，在机构化程度较高的地方政府中，中央行政开支较低，这表明在为日益分散的服务提供提供中央支持方面存在挑战。重要的是，该研究强调了政府在动员足够的资源以实现其声明目标时所面临的困难。
Governments establish agencies to enhance public service efficiency, aiming to improve government performance. However, agencification makes governments' service delivery more complex by putting service providers at arm's length from governments' control. To retain their capacity to support frontline service delivery, governments may expand their central administrative overhead. Conceptually, overhead constitutes resources available to support primary production processes in the organization, such as managerial coordination and technical support. This study, based on survey and registry data from 296 Norwegian local governments, analyses whether agencification correlates with the size of administrative overhead across political systems. The findings reveal lower central administrative overhead in local governments with higher degrees of agencification, suggesting a challenge in providing central support for an increasingly disaggregated service delivery. Importantly, the study underscores the difficulty governments face in mobilizing adequate resources to achieve their stated goals.
