The Developmental Logic and Practical Concerns of Community-Embedded Elderly Care Services:A Case Study Based on the"Motivation-resources"Analysis Framework
Starting from the perspective of activism,this article constructs a"motivation-resources"analysis framework and explores the de-velopment and practice of community-embedded elderly care service models based on N-city cases.It has found that the local governments face the social pressure,the political pressure and the pressure of horizontal comparison but have two driving forces:political value pursuit and public value pursuit.They focus on obtaining allocative and authoritative resources through pilot projects,demonstrations,and commen-dations.Elderly care service institutions have a dual driving force of the encouragement policy and transformation for survival,mainly by par-ticipating in government purchases to obtain allocative resources and enhance their practicality,standardization and cognitive legitimacy.The combination of motives and resource-based empowerment in the interaction between the two constitutes the developmental logic of the com-munity-embedded elderly care service model.However,this model still has some practical concerns,such as the weak participation and co-ordination of the main actors,the deviation from the public goal caused by a lack of the original motivation,and the dependence on re-sources.It should be improved from consensus building,collaborative participation and resource development.
