Work Team Mechanism in Grassroots Policy Implementation Process:An Organizational Analysis Based on Typical Cases
The widespread existence of work team mechanisms in reality reflects China's unique governance wisdom and is an obvious increase topic of research.How does the work team mechanism operate during policy implementation process?What kind of governance logic is reflected during its operating?Based on the rational system perspective of organizational analysis and combined with in-depth field observations of typical cases in Town C,District Y,this article attempts to theoretically construct the work team mechanism.The study found that work team mechanism is a sub-organizational mechanism created by local governments to cope with the structural contradictions between policy pressure and resource constraints.The operation process of the work team mechanism is embedded in an organizational community of"institutional level-managerial level-technical level".And the interaction and cooperation between various levels within the community fully accom-modate and support the work team mechanism.The"Effect of Small Numbers"of organizational scale is the in-ternal logic for the efficient operation of the work team mechanism.At the same time,this logic provides some inspiration for breaking through the bureaucracy principles.By refining an analytical framework of"organiza-tional community+effect of small numbers"and conducting a dialogue with the bureaucracy theory,it can broaden the knowledge map of the work team mechanism research,explain the theoretical implications and op-eration logic of this localized implementation mechanism,and enrich the understanding of China's unique poli-cy implementation experience.
