摘要/Abstract

摘要： 随着政府向社会组织购买服务力度加大,政府资助已经成为多数社会组织最主要的资金来源。从政社关系理解政府支持社会组织发展是传统研究路径,鲜有研究通过数据从信任视角揭示政府资助社会组织的动因。文章采用一种混合研究设计,基于滚雪球式抽样获取有效样本384个,使用最小二乘法验证何种因素影响了社会组织获得政府资助,在此基础上,运用多案例比较方法进一步揭示各因素之间的作用机理。结果表明:政府在资助社会组织的过程中,更倾向于采用“关系信任”而非“专业信任”指标来衡量是否向社会组织提供资助,关系信任机制的形成助推了政社双方在互动过程中的双向认可,尤其是具备一种公开、显性、正式的组织关系信任的社会组织更可能获得政府资助。在这种非竞争性的政府资助分配机制下,一旦社会组织将过多资源用于关系建设,就可能减少对专业能力的投入,长此以往政府资助分配会偏离最佳阈值,更无法实现政府购买服务制度设计的初衷。

Abstract: With the increase in government procurement of services from social organizations, government funding has become the main source of funding for most social organizations. The perspective of government-society relations is the traditional path to explain government support, and few studies have revealed the motives behind government funding from a trust and data-based perspective. The paper adopts a mixed research design, based on 384 valid samples collected through snowballing sampling, and employs the least squares method to verify factors involved in social organizations' access to government funding; on this basis, the multi-case comparison method is adopted to further reveal the mechanism of action between various factors. The paper reveals that government tends to choose “relational trust” rather than “professional trust” indicators to measure whether to provide funding. The formation of relational trust mechanisms promotes mutual recognition in the interaction, and social organizations with an open, explicit, and formal organizational trust are more likely to receive government funding. This indicates that: 1) under this non-competitive government funding allocation mechanism, once social organizations allocate too much resources to relationship building, they may reduce their investment in professional abilities; 2) in the long run, government funding allocation will deviate from the optimal threshold, and it will not be able to achieve the original intention of designing a government procurement service system.

Key words: social organizations, government funding, relationship trust, professional trust, organizational relationship trust
