"Adapting-Docking"in Unconventional Task Execution:A Bottom-Up Perspective of Reducing Burdens at Grassroots Level
With the change of the functions and environment of grassroots governments, the tension among un-conventional task, routine tasks, and specialized operations has become increasingly prominent. According to an analysis of the process in which the functional departments of Street X in a city in eastern China completed unconventional tasks, it is found that a grassroots government can execute unconventional tasks on the basis of balanced tension through an"adapting-docking"mechanism. The"adapting-docking"mechanism contains four steps:unblocking responsibility transmission, adapting principal resources, integrating series elements, and making docking tasks"explicit". While accomplishing many innovative work deployed from higher authorities, it ensures that the routinized principal system within a grassroots government is minimally affected , thereby maintaining a certain degree of balance in governance practice. As a bottom-up strategy to reduce the burden, the"adapting-docking"mechanism provides a pressure outlet for the grass-roots administrative system to a cer-tain extent. However, it will also lead to a false height when capability signals are transmitted upward, raising the expectation of higher-level governments and thus increasing pressure on grassroots governance and competi-tion in another dimension.
