Research On Responsibility-oriented Government Leaders Control System

Systems science deals with the general law about nature, structure, function and evolution of different kinds of things in the real world with the world view and methodology of wholeness. The rapid development of systems science has had great effects on a variety of disciplines. In the era of knowledge-based economy, the continuous development and maturation of systems science will promote the development of science, technology, social and economy further. The research on incentive, supervision and restraint for leaders has become active issue in the academic world at present. Based on the related researches at home and abroad, this dissertation establishes the theoretical framework of government leaders control system (GLCS) and studies some related issues systematically and deeply.The main contributions of this dissertation are summarized as following:Based on the analyses of accountability relation and principal-agent relation, the essentiality and possibility of government leaders control are discussed. Then the issues relative to incentive, supervision and restraint for government leaders are put into a whole framework and form a systematic topic according to the principles of systems science.A model of GLCS is set up which abstracts the process of government leaders control as a combination of goal mapping, state transition mapping, output mapping, state estimation mapping and incentive mapping. Based on the model, the general framework of GLCS composed of goal setting subsystem, monitoring-evaluating subsystem and incentive adjusting subsystem is built up. The observability and controllability of GLCS are also studied by using general system theory and pansystem theory.The correspondence between the goal of organization and the goal state of GLCS is discussed firstly in the study of goal setting subsystem. Based on the idea of responsibility-based control, the concept of responsibility-oriented state is presented. It relates the"state"—the core concept in control to the"responsibility"—the core concept in management. Then the representation method of responsibility-oriented state under the framework of balanced score card (BSC) is developed and the problems such as the selection of state variables, the identification of state variable attributes and the measurement standards of state variables are studied.In the research of monitoring-evaluating subsystem, a new type of audit named responsibility audit is presented and the issue of monitoring state variables with different means is studied. The measurements of quantitative state variables and qualitative state variables are dealt with respectively. The defuzzifying method, a new method for fuzzy multiattribute decision-making (MADM), is applied to quantify the qualitative state variables. Then the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (Fuzzy-AHP) is used to determine the weights of state variables in the background of the basic level tax institution leaders control system. And the comprehensive evaluation method of system state is given at the end of this part.In the study of incentive adjusting subsystem, the incentive means are taken as control inputs and the related issues such as the selection of input variables and the synthesis of control inputs are discussed based on the analysis of incentive mechanics. And then, the determination model of risk fee in control inputs is studied.The paper also discusses the establishment of GLCS from the aspects of institution and technology respectively and proposes that the institutional support of GLCS is organization governance and the technical support of GLCS is decision support system (DSS). On the basis of the analysis of the correspondence relation between the subsystems of GLCS and organization governance structure, the institutional implement of GLCS is concerned. Finally, the concept, objective, function and architecture of government leaders control decision support system (GLCDSS) are discussed.The five research results and fresh ideas in this dissertation can be displayed as the following: the first one is integrating the issues of incentive, supervision and restraint for leaders with the idea of government leaders control under the guidance of system thinking; the second one is constructing the general framework of GLCS based on the GLCS model which is the abstraction of dynamic process of government leaders control; the third one is advancing the idea of responsibility-oriented state from the concept of responsibility-based control and studying them systematically; the fourth one is advancing the concept of responsibility audit to realize the monitoring and evaluating in government leaders control; the fifth one is advancing the institutional and technical support of GLCS.
