社会嵌入式廉政治理——香港的经验与启示

Socially Embedded Anti-Corruption Governance:Evidence from Hong Kong

反腐败的社会参与是一个新兴的课题。本文提出'社会嵌入式廉政治理'这一概念,并从宏观和微观两个层面考察。具体而言,我们探讨民众参与反腐败的一个重要内容,即对腐败行为的举报,试图解释哪些因素会影响民众举报腐败的意愿。本文基于2015年在香港进行的一次大规模抽样调査展开分析,此调査共回收1 025份有效问卷。我们的研究验证了两个假设:民众对腐败的容忍度越低、对政府的反腐败执法越有信心,就越有可能举报身边的腐败案件。在中国内地,如何培育社会民众的反腐'正能量'是一个崭新的课题,香港的经验是值得探究和借鉴的。

In this study,we seek to identify and explain what factors influence citizens’propensity to confront corruption by reporting suspected corruption cases.From a macro-micro interactive perspective,which we term'socially embedded anti-corruption governance',we make two propositions focusing on intrinsic and extrinsic factors respectively.Drawing on data collected from an original survey of 1,025 local residents in Hong Kong,we test the two hypotheses.Our findings confirm that the propensity to report suspected corruption results from both a low level of tolerance towards corruption and the positive perception of the quality of anti-corruption governance.The implications of our findings for other regions,especially China's Mainland,are explored.
