公务员行政责任:理论溯源、影响机制与治理挑战The Administrative Accountability of Civil Servants: Theoretical Foundations, Influencing Mechanisms, and Governance Challenges
许愉,吕晓俊
摘要(Abstract):
行政责任作为公共管理领域关注的重点议题,不仅是实现政府善治的必要条件,也是公务员行政的基本准则。本研究运用系统文献综述法对146篇中英文文献进行计量分析,描述了公务员行政责任的研究概况,梳理了行政责任的概念内涵与理论基础。通过对既有研究的深度分析,本文构建了公务员行政责任影响逻辑的全景框架,从“个体-制度-情境-任务-技术”五维视角归纳了行政责任的影响因素,剖析了“内生-外源”交互作用下履行责任的影响机制,并分析了当前公务员行政责任治理面临的挑战。基于此,本研究展望了未来行政责任的研究议题,为该领域的前沿探索与实践进步提供了知识图谱,有助于推动该领域研究的纵深发展。
