从公共行政学的视角论领导干部的责任担当

On Leaders' Responsibilities from Perspective of Public Administration

行政领导干部既是行政命令和组织秩序的执行者、维护者,又是以公共利益为最高准绳的价值负荷者,是具有自由裁量权的责任行政者。行政领导干部的责任来源于权力的委托关系、权力行使的道德基础和自由裁量权。作为民主政治时代的一种基本价值观念,责任要求领导干部必须回应社会和民众的基本要求,必须承担法律的、组织的、公众的责任。责任重在落实,其行政责任的贯彻落实是以"依法"、"公平"、"正义"等基本内容为核心,以建立负责任的政府为基本价值取向的。

This paper conducts a research on the leaders＇ responsibilities, based on the theories of public ad- ministration. Leaders are the executants of administrative orders and defenders of political and social or- der. They have discretionary power, but they should make decisions based on the benefits of the public. Responsibility is one of the core values for any leaders. A democratic and responsible government with a group of leaders who are accountable can not only bring benefits to every citizen, but also maintain a coun- try＇s sustainable development and forge ahead overall social progress. Hence, it is of great importance to explore the leaders＇ responsibilities.
