摘要： 近年来,随着实验法在公共管理问题研究的运用日渐增多,公共管理学界也开始总结和反思这一方法。但学界主要从面上审视公共管理实验法的使用,尚未就某个研究领域或议题深入分析。公民满意度领域是实验法运用的集散地,对其“深描”可以“管窥”公共管理实验法运用的总体图景。研究发现,公民满意度实验类型包括调查实验、实验室实验、实地实验等,实验方式主要是前测—干预—后测实验和因子实验,实验对象为大学生、网民或现场抽取的市民样本。总的来说,这些实验较好呈现了满意度影响因素的因果关系。但其实验类型以调查实验法居多,实验对象也以学生和网民为主,实验的现实性较差。为提高公民满意度或公共管理学实验研究的价值,应针对公共管理领域的重大问题,尽可能在真实情景中、以真实对象开展实地实验研究,以提升研究结论的政策辐射力和理论外推力。

Abstract: Recent years have found summaries and reflections on experimental method among academic circles with the increasing application of this method in public management studies, though carried out from a general perspective without an in-depth analysis on a certain research field or topic. The field of citizens' satisfaction is the distribution center for the application of the experimental method, and its “deep description” helps “get a glimpse” of the overall picture of the application of the method in public management. Citizens' satisfaction experiments, the study finds, cover survey experiment, laboratory experiment, field experiment, etc.; the methods mainly include experiment running through pre-test, intervention, and post-test experiment, and factor experiment; the objects are college students, Internet users or citizen samples taken on site. In general, these experiments better show the causal relationship between the influencing factors of satisfaction. However, most fall into investigations and the subjects are mainly students and Internet users, and thus comes out a poor reality. With an aim to improve citizens' satisfaction or the value of experimental research in public management, field experimental research, targeting to major problems, should be carried out in real situations with real objects as much as possible so as to enhance the policy radiation of research conclusions and the theoretical external thrust.

Key words: citizens' satisfaction, experimental method of public management, field experiment, survey experiment, natural experiment, validity
