The Independent Knowledge System Construction of Public Value and Public Values Research
Public value is a basic issue in the field of public administration,which determines the pursuit and implementation of the goals of public governance.In recent years,public value has become an important topic in the field of public administration.Chinese scholars have expanded the concept of public value from government performance management,value creation,and public values,gradually constructing theories and methods for public value research in the Chinese context.In retrospect of public value research,there are still many difficulties in conceptual definition,measurement,and empirical research,which leads to a relatively high degree of convergence and a relatively insufficient contribution of knowledge.The fundamental status of the concept of public value and the specificity of the public value context determines its possibility as a starting point for constructing an independent knowledge system in public administration.The key issues include the functional orientation of public value in public administration,the cultural and political attributes of public value,the diachronic change and evolution of public value,the construction logic and management of public value,and the incentive and accountability for the realization of public value.
