Abstract
Homeownership has been widely regarded as a critical determinant of public participation in social science research. However, the role of homeownership in public service coproduction has been under-researched. This study advances a theory of public service coproduction that accounts for the effect of homeownership and its underlying mechanisms by theorizing that homeownership increases coproduction participation by directly motivating individuals to protect their financial investments and indirectly improving their knowledge about government. Original data from a random telephone survey of 2,167 residents conducted in August 2022 in Beijing, China were used to test the hypotheses, and a series of analytical tools (e.g., weighted models, matching, and sensitivity analysis) were used to validate the theorized effects and mechanisms. Results consistently show that homeowners are more likely to report public service complaints to the government than nonowners. These findings have important implications for future theoretical research and practical efforts to promote public service coproduction.
孟子曾有名言“有恒产者有恒心。”本文汲取经典传统思想,并以时代为关照,探讨了房屋所有权如何影响公众参与合作生产及其内在机制。文章提出,房屋所有权可以通过两种方式提升个体对合作生产的参与度:一是直接激励个人保护自身的财务投资;二是间接提升个人对公共事务的了解。为验证这些理论效应和机制,本研究利用了2022年8月在北京对2167位居民进行的随机电话调查的原始数据,并采用了包括加权模型、匹配及敏感性分析在内的一系列分析工具。研究结果一致显示,相比于非业主,业主更可能向政府报告有关公共服务的投诉。这些发现对于未来的理论研究和推动公共服务合作生产的实践具有重要意义。
