技术赋能、制度形塑与数字政府绩效生成——基于31个省份数据的实证研究

Technology Empowerment,Institution Shaping and Digital Government Performance——An Empirical Study Based on 31 Provincial Governments

探究数字政府绩效背后的生成逻辑有利于更好理解政府数字化转型的现状和规律,为实现整体协同、公平普惠的发展目标提供靶向。文章在借鉴技术执行框架的基础上,构建了数字政府绩效生成的“主体—路径—绩效”框架,指出技术赋能和制度形塑既是数字政府建设的基本路径,也是其绩效生成的前因条件。基于全国31个省区市(不包括港澳台)数据的定性比较分析发现:没有单一条件能必然带来数字政府高绩效,但夯实数字政府平台基础和提高技术能力发挥着更为普适的作用;现阶段政府数字化转型存在多条行之有效的发展路径,包括“领导-技术”驱动型、“财政-技术”驱动型、领导驱动型、技术驱动型四种类型。研究启示提高数字政府绩效不仅需要实现技术赋能和制度形塑的有效协同,也需要地方政府因地制宜地探索适合自身的发展路径。

Exploring the generative logic behind digital government performance is conducive to a better understanding of the current situation and differences of government digital transformation,and realizing the goal of coordination,fairness and inclusiveness.Based on the framework of technology implementation,the"subject-path-performance"framework of digital government performance generation was constructed,pointing out that technology empowerment and institution shaping were not only the basic path of digital government construction,but also the antecedent conditions of performance.Through the qualitative comparative analysis of 31 provincial governments in China's Mainland,it is found that no single condition can inevitably bring high performance of digital government,but consolidating the foundation of digital government platform and improving the policy system play a more universal role.There are multiple high-performance paths for digital government,including"leader-technology"driven,"financetechnology"driven,leader-driven and technology-driven.To improve the performance of digital government,it is not only necessary to realize the effective coordination between technology empowerment and institution shaping,but also necessary for local governments to choose the suitable construction path for their own conditions.
