The Behavioral Performance,Generative Logic and Governance of Grassroots Environmental Protection Officials'Blame Avoidance Behavior
The blame avoidance behavior of grassroots environmental protection officials not only reduces the effectiveness of environmental governance,but also diminishes the effectiveness of environmental institutional reform.According to the investigation on the reform of vertical management system of ecological and environmental institutions in City A and the practice of ecological and environmental governance in County S,blame avoidance behaviors of grassroots environmental protection officials can be categorized as conditional avoidance,procedural avoidance and apportionment avoidance etc.Combined with the existing literature,an analytical framework is constructed from three dimensions:macro-structural,meso-endowment and micro-psychological,to analyze the generative logic of grassroots environmental protection officials'avoidance behaviors,and to put forward specific strategies for managing the blame avoidance behaviors in terms of bridging structural tensions,reinforcing organizational endowment,and dissolving avoidance motives.
