The Theoretical Logics And Practical Patterns Of Administrative Incentive

Incentive is one of the important methods of the ideological and political education. Its core is to promote human’s enthusiasm and potentials. As a branch of incentive system, administrative incentive aims at the government administrative system, which owns the public power and takes the public responsibilities. Government bears the responsibilities of the country, politics and society, which contributes a lot to the study of administrative incentive, and also puts the ideological and political education in an important place.This thesis mainly explores the theory of administrative incentive. From the view of the social structural functionalism, the thesis divides the administrative incentive system into three indispensable parts:administrative value, administrative institution and administrative organization. By discussing their functions to promote the effectiveness of administrative incentive, the thesis infers that joint-effort of the three will lead to the effective incentive. In the process of China’s administrative system reform, because the organic integration of administrative value, institution and organization has been neglected in the course of design and implementation, lots of incentive mechanisms have been invented but only result in the unexpected social conflicts and difficulties owing to the unconquerable bureaucracy and ineffective administration. Hence, the thesis concludes that the highly effective administrative incentive can only be achieved by combining administrative value, institution and organization in a right way that it can help realize the government values of serving people, enriching people and making people happy.The innovation of the thesis lies in that it takes the administrative incentive as a complete system to study. Form the angles of the administrative value, institution, and organization, it analyzes the different incentive points and patterns by illustrating the integration of value and institution, the double function of the administrative subject, the interaction between the administrative subject and object. At the same time, by studying and analyzing the practical patterns of administrative incentive, the thesis transcends the theoretical level and endows the incentive study with the practical significance.The paper is divided into eight chapters, which are arranged in a logic way.The first chapter is the introduction, which includes the study reason, thinking, outline and methods. Also, some core concepts, such as incentive and administrative incentive, value and administrative value, administration and public administration are explained in detail.The second chapter is to explore the theoretical foundation of the administrative incentive. Firstly, it analyzes the development of Chinese traditional administrative incentive and western incentive thoughts. The former includes the administrative incentive thought from the Confucianism, the legalism and the Taoism. The latter generalizes the main ideas of the western administrative incentive thories in four stages, that is, the scientific management stage, the behaviorlism stage, the system management stage and the new public management stage. Then, this paper explains the Marxism administrative incentive thought, which is based on human needs, interests and democracy. And from the materialist dialectic view, the Marxism incentive rules have been illustrated. Finally, the administrative incentive thoughts of some Chinese Communist Party leaders, such as Mao Zedong, Deng Xiaoping, Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao, have been generalized.The third chapter tries to constitute the administrative incentive system. As incentive is a typical phenomenon in human society, it is closely related to different human natures in social activities. This relationship only determines that the incentive methods should be adapted to human’s need and change of characters, but also emphasizes that the function of incentive has become the dynamic source of human’s development. Then, the chapter illustrates how the system of administrative incentive has been established. And its establishing reasons, principles, running styles and characters have been analyzed in detail.The fourth chapter is mainly about the incentive function of the administrative value. The existence of value and human’s judgment and pursuit of it have produced the immense force to motivate human’s behavior. As the value of things changes all the time, the administrative value changes with the development of country. So, the paper tries to illustrate the changing core of administrative value in the course of the China’s reform and opening progress. The administrative values of efficiency, justice, probity, service and their different incentive function in practice have been illustrated respectively.The fifth chapter is about how the administrative institutions influence on the administrative incentive. Institution is a kind of regulation for human behavior, and it grows from human’s need and reason. That’s why it bears human’s value expectation when it was born, and it regulates and motivates the administrative activities in an intangible way.The sixth chapter tells about how the administrative organization exerts effect on the administrative incentive. In this paper, the administrative individual, the administrative group and the administrative leader have been regarded as the study objects. And according to their different characters, the administrative incentive modes have been designed and arranged. Besides, the recessive elements, such as the subjective personality, the administrative culture and the participation theory, have been discussed respectively about their incentive functions.The seventh chapter pays attention to the functioning environment of the administrative incentive system. From the vertical level, country, government and the administrative system forms the relationship of unidirectional governance. And the national policy also regulates the administrative institutions for they share the identical values. From the transverse level, the paper discusses both the civil society and the network society’s influence on the administrative incentive. And the mutual action of the administrative subjects and objects are emphasized.The eighth chapter combines the theories and practices. The enriching people government has been regarded as the fate value of the administrative incentive; the leadership inquiry as the strengthening style of administrative organization, and the democratic deliberation of the government work style as the mode of democratic participation and supervision. All these practical patterns have been taken as the necessary proof and supplement of the administrative incentive.
