理性行动及其限制——关于新生代农民工城市融合过程的定性研究

Reasoned Action and Its' Restrictions—An Qualitative Study on the Integration Process of Cenozoic Peasant Workers

"结构理论"与"理性行动理论"在解释移民融合问题时都存在不足。聚焦于"新生代农民工"这一特殊的劳动力移民群体的访谈研究发现:资本建构与资本转换是其理性行动的基本策略,这有助于他们克服社会障碍、加速城市融合进程。而且,这些理性行动同时也受到了户籍制、福利保障制度等社会结构因素的约制。与此同时,他们的理性行动又在推动着制度设置与社会结构的变迁。所以,新生代农民工的城市融合过程是一个行动者与结构"二重化"的社会过程。

＂Structural Theory＂ can effectively explain social barriers during integration process of migration groups, but carries little conviction to elucidate the individual differences. By contrast, ＂Reasoned Action Theory＂ remedies partially some flaws of it, but these studies tend to be separated from structural factors absolutely. Focusing on Cenozoic Peasant Workers, this article finds that construction and conversion of capitals are the basic rational strategies, which are of benefit to the process of integrating into cities for them. Meanwhile, these rational strategies are restricted by and remake structural factors such as Household Registration System and social welfare system. Thus, the integration process of Cenozoic Peasant Workers essentially implies the implication of ＂duality of structure＂.
