数字政府建设能否提升地方政府信息公开水平——基于我国31个省份的NCA与fsQCA分析

Whether the Construction of Digital Government Can Improve the Level of Information Disclosure of Local Governments——Based on the NCA and fsQCA analysis of 31 provinces in China

政府信息公开是现代政府建设的重要制度和方式,数字政府建设是实现国家治理体系和治理能力现代化的必要举措,同时也是推动政府信息公开的重要举措,探究数字政府建设水平对于政府信息公开的影响与提升路径具有重要的现实意义。基于TOE框架,以中国31个省份为研究案例,采用fsQCA方法,从组态视角出发探究中国31个省份数字政府建设水平对政府信息公开的影响因素及提升路径。研究表明:数字政府建设各条件变量均不是提升高政府信息公开水平的必要条件,而是通过组态的方式来提升政府信息公开水平,数字政府建设提升政府信息公开水平存在三条高组态推动路径,即“技术-组织-环境推动型”“技术推动型”和“组织-环境推动型”。据此,各地区应当根据自身实际发展情况,从自身所具有的优势和资源禀赋出发,充分认识各变量之间的协同互动作用,处理好变量之间的关系,优化各要素组合配置,协同驱动高水平数字政府建设。

Open government information is an important system and method of modern government construction,and the construction of digital government is a necessary measure to realize the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity,and it is also an important measure to promote open government information.Based on the TOE framework,making case study of 31 provinces in China,and with the fsQCA method,this paper explores the influence factors and improvement paths of digital government construction level on government information disclosure in 31 provinces in China from the perspective of configuration.Results show that the conditional variables of digital government construction are not necessary conditions for improving the high level of government information disclosure,but can improve the level of government information disclosure through configuration,and there are three high-configuration promotion paths for digital government construction to improve the level of government information disclosure,namely,"technology-organization-environment-driven","technology-driven"and"organization-environment-driven".Accordingly,each region should fully understand the synergistic interaction between various variables based on its own actual development situation,based on its own advantages,and based on its resource endowments,to handle the relationship between variables,optimize the combination and allocation of various elements,and synergistically drive the construction of a high-level digital government.
