Network Structure, Relationship Quality and Governance Effectiveness in Community Multiple-governance——A Case Study in Longgang District of Shenzhen

Abstract

Abstract:

Community multi-governance is an important embodiment of modernization of national governance system and capacity in basic level, which means the organic integration of community multi-forces rather than restricting and jointing them mechanically. Its essence is the construction of collective action network, which has orderly interaction and sufficient cooperation among multi-subjects. Therefore, how to configure the community multi-governance network with appropriate structure and well relationship has become the key to community governance innovation. Through building an influencing factors framework of governance effectiveness in community multiple-governance network, which includes two aspects:network structure and relationship quality, we explore the combined mechanism among above three factors, rather than one-to-one binary correlation, in response to the fragmentation and conclusion instability in current researches and provide systematic suggestions for constructing the effective community multi-governance network. The result suggests that relationship quality is an important intermediary between network structure and governance effectiveness. It means that the network structure, which decides multi-actors' relative position and relational form should be dynamic. Only the network structure that matches the specific situation of relationship quality is the "excellent structure", which will bring the great effectiveness of community multi-governance. In addition, the specific community situation may have important impacts on the adaptation between relationship quality and network structure.

Key words: community governance, multi-governance, network structure, relationship quality, governance effectiveness
