今天为大家带来的是Christopher A. Cooper的研究:《鼓励公务员坦诚无畏:择优录用与员工意见表达》。


摘要


基于择优录用被认为能够提升治理质量,因为它增加了官僚机构的专业性,使官员形成独特的偏好,并鼓励他们坦诚地向他人表达意见。然而,迄今为止,择优录用为何能积极影响员工意见表达的原因在理论上仍不清晰,并且缺乏实证研究的检验。本文通过理论上明确择优录用为何能积极影响员工意见表达,并通过对加拿大联邦公务员的感知调查数据进行实证检验,推动了这一研究的发展。在控制了若干被认为会影响员工意见表达的附加因素后,各种多变量回归模型的结果显示,择优录用与表达不同意见的恐惧之间存在稳健且具有统计显著性的关联。公务员越相信择优录用水平高,他们就越不担心因向上级表达不同意见而受到报复。

Recruiting civil servants on the basis of merit is believed to improve the quality of governance because it increases the bureaucracy's expertise, leads bureaucrats to develop distinct preferences and encourages them to candidly voice their opinions to others. Yet, to date, the reason why merit recruitment positively affects employee voice remains theoretically vague and has received little empirical scrutiny. This article advances this research by theoretically specifying why merit recruitment positively affects employee voice, and by empirically testing this association with survey data measuring the perceptions of federal civil servants in Canada. Controlling for several additional factors believed to influence employee voice, the results from various multivariate regression models show a robust and statistically significant association between merit recruitment and fear to voice a dissenting opinion. The more civil servants believe that merit recruitment is high, the less they fear reprisal for expressing a dissenting opinion to their superiors.
