网格化管理对村民参与公共事务治理的影响

Impact of Grid-based Management on Villagers' Participation in Public Affairs Governance

加强网格化管理是推进乡村治理现代化的重要抓手。基于2018年的中国劳动力动态调查数据,实证分析了网格化管理对村民参与公共事务治理的影响及作用机制。实证结果表明,网格化管理显著提高了村民参与公共事务治理的意愿,并且该结论在经过一系列稳健性检验后仍然成立。机制分析发现,网格化管理能够通过强化以社会网络、社会信任和社会规范为代表的社会资本积累,从而缓解劳动力外流所带来的社会资本流失的负面影响,进而提高村民的公共事务治理参与意愿。进一步讨论发现,网格员队伍的专职化建设能够提高网格化管理的实施效果。村域异质性分析发现,网格化管理在人口规模较小和有社会组织的村庄,能够对村民的公共事务治理参与意愿发挥更加显著的促进作用。

Strengthening the grid management is an important starting point for promoting the modernization of rural governance.Based on the data of the 2018 China Labor Force Dynamics Survey,this paper empirically analyzes the impact and mechanism of grid management on villagers' participation in public affairs governance.The empirical results show that grid management significantly improves the willingness of villagers to participate in the governance of public affairs,and the conclusion is still valid after a series of robustness tests.Mechanism analysis finds that grid management can alleviate the negative impact of social capital loss caused by labor outflow by strengthening the accumulation of social capital represented by social networks,trust and norms,and then improve the willingness of villagers to participate in public affairs governance.Further discussion shows that the full-time construction of grid staff can improve the implementation effect of grid management.The analysis of village heterogeneity shows that grid management can play a more significant role in promoting villagers' willingness to participate in public affairs governance in villages with small population and social organization.
