“政府信任”的概念框架再建构——基于733位农民访谈资料的扎根理论研究

Reconstructing the Conceptual Framework of“Trust in Government”:A Study of Grounded Theory Based on Interview Data from 733 Peasants

通过对733位农村居民抽样田野访谈资料的扎根理论研究,可以提炼出中国农民政府信任的基本要素,即政府的权威、动机、能力、品德、绩效、可及性和回应性。它们构成政府信任概念的基本框架与维度。按照“输入—转换—输出—反馈”的政府过程逻辑,政府的动机属于输入环节的特质,能力和品德属于转换环节的特质,绩效属于输出性特质,可及性和回应性可看作反馈环节的互动性特质,而政府的权威则是其核心特质。在那些信任政府的农民中提及次数最多的是政府的绩效,而不信任政府的农民提及最多的却是政府的可及性。

This article presents a grounded theory study based on field interviews with 733 rural residents in China,aiming to identify the fundamental elements of trust in government among Chinese peasants.The study delineates seven key components:authority,motivation,capability,morality,performance,accessibility,and responsiveness.These components form a foundational framework for understanding the dimensions of trust in government.The analysis follows the government process model of"inputtransformation-output-feedback",where government motivation relates to the input phase,capability and morality characterize the transformation phase,and performance corresponds to output characteristics.Accessibility and responsiveness are identified as interactive traits within the feedback phase,while the authority of the government serves as the central structural element.Notably,among peasants who express trust in the government,performance emerges as the most frequently cited factor,whereas accessibility is the predominant concern among those who distrust the government.
