政府工作动力的驱动来源研究一直受学界关注，旨在解释科层组织行动何以发生并有序运行。然而，目前的研究未能充分呈现全过程人民民主框架下地方治理实践创新现状，也未能全面叙述地方政府工作的驱动机理。据此，本文提出民意发包的概念，描述以人大制度建设为依托，由民意驱动政府工作的治理方式，同时与行政发包的解释路径进行比较分析。通过对江苏省S县民生实事项目代表票决制的分析，文章认为，民意发包体现了双向调适的民意集成、规范提格的民意认证、民意贯穿的项目监督以及多维并重的结果评价四个机制。在此基础上，本文还从制度、价值、效果、变革四个维度分析了民意发包的创设逻辑，即将民意发包作为围绕科层制特征进行研究叙事方式的补充，为刻画我国地方民主政治建设和政府治理创新实践提供启示。查看详情>>

This study examines whether structural social capital mediates the association between constant and new Internet use and depressive symptoms among Chinese older adults, and the potential rural/urban differences. This study considered 9642 participants aged over 60 years from the 2016 and 2018 China Longitudinal Aging Social Surveys. Structural equation models were used to examine the mediators of social networks and social participation as latent constructs of structural social capital in the association between constant and new Internet use and depressive symptoms. Constant and new Internet use showed significant total and direct effects on depressive symptoms, but only constant Internet use showed a significant indirect effect on depressive symptoms through structural social capital. The mediating role of social networks was stronger among the urban than rural older adults, and non-volunteering participation mediated the association between the rural Internet users and their depressive symptoms. Therefore, structural social capital mediates the association between Internet use and depressive symptoms among Chinese older adults who are constant Internet users. New Internet users participate less in volunteering activities than non-users, and only join leisure activities to reduce depressive symptoms. The government, information and communications technology industries, health systems, and communities are recommended to increase the perceived ease and usefulness of Internet use, advocate for non-excessive online socializing of new users, and come up with specific policies of Internet use for rural and urban older adults.查看详情>>
