政府回应性、政治支持与政治参与的影响关系——基于济世兴邦政治价值观的调节分析

The Influential Relationship between Government Responsiveness, Political Support, and Political Participation: A Moderating Analysis Based onthe Political Values of “Benefiting the People and Revitalizing the Country”

制度化政治参与是推进国家治理体系与治理能力现代化的应有之义和必然要求,而政府的回应性对公众制度化政治参与具有重要的影响作用。但是,既有文献对于政府回应性在何种条件下如何影响公民政治参与这一问题的分析和讨论仍相对缺乏。基于公共选择理论和自我决定理论,构建政府回应性与公众政治参与之间的理论模型,并运用31个省(自治区、直辖市)的11000份有效数据,通过结构方程模型和Bootstrap法对其进行检验,研究结果显示:政府回应性正向影响公民政治参与,政治支持在政府回应性与政治参与影响关系中发挥中介效应,济世兴邦政治价值观反向调节政府回应性与政治支持的影响关系;政治支持在政府回应性对公民政治参与影响关系中的中介作用受到个体济世兴邦政治价值观的反向调节影响。从“政府行为—公民体验”视角研究政府回应性对政治参与的作用机制,拓展和增强了公共选择理论、自我决定理论的应用情境和检验效力,为促进政府有效回应、增进公民政治支持、推动政民互动等提供实证研究依据和实践方向指导。

Institutionalized political participation is essential for modernizing national governance systems and capacities,and the responsiveness of government significantly influences public engagement in institutionalized political activities.However,existing literature lacks comprehensive analyses and discussions on how government responsiveness affects citizens’political participation un⁃der specific conditions.This study constructs a theoretical model based on public choice theory and self-determination theory to ex⁃amine the relationship between government responsiveness and public political participation.To test the model,we collected 11000 valid data points from 31 provinces,autonomous regions,and municipalities directly under the central government in China.Statisti⁃cal analyses using Structural Equation Modeling(SEM)and the Bootstrap method were conducted.The results indicate that(1)government responsiveness positively influences citizens’political participation,(2)political support mediates the relationship be⁃tween government responsiveness and political participation,(3)the political values of“benefiting the people and revitalizing the country”have a moderating effect on the relationship between government responsiveness and political support,and(4)the political values of“benefiting the people and revitalizing the country”significantly moderate the mediating role of political support in the rela⁃tionship between government responsiveness and citizens’political participation.This study reveals the mechanism through which government responsiveness affects political participation from the perspectives of government behavior and citizen experience.It ex⁃pands and enhances the application context and effectiveness of public choice theory and self-determination theory.In practice,the findings provide an empirical research foundation and practical guidance for improving government responsiveness,enhancing citi⁃zens’political support,and promoting interaction between the government and the people.
