The"Well Loop"Learning Theory of Government Public Safety Under Hierarchical Intervention
"One factory has accidents,ten thousand factories learn a lesson;one place has hidden dangers,the whole country gets warning"is a unique phenomenon of organization learning by Chinese government in the process of emergency management,which is difficult to be fully explained by the existing theories of crisis learning and policy learning.In order to describe and explain the series of learning behaviors of government in response to emergencies in China,this paper constructs a public safety learning theory model with"goal-process-effectiveness"as the basic framework,which has three meanings:First,it aims to eliminate risks and hidden dangers in the goal,learning aims to ensure public safety through the investigation and management of risks and hidden dangers,and locates in the risk management link at the front end of emergency management;The second is the evolution of the"well loop"in the process,from experience learning to professional learning,administrative learning and political learning.The third is the integration of knowledge and action in efficiency,forming the continuous spillover of knowledge improvement and action change.Public safety learning theory is a kind of learning paradigm of"integration of knowledge and action,"which aims to conceptualize and theorize the best practices of government organizational learning in the process of responding to emergencies,independently construct a knowledge framework for dialogue with western organizational learning theories,develop the whole process of public safety learning-crisis learning-policy learning knowledge spectrum,and improve the existing organizational learning theory.
