Research On Mechanism Of Social Organization’s Participation In City Governance

The Governance theory has been promoted to the basic nation-governed theory, which is of great significance for comprehensive guide to social management work. With the continuous improvement of China’s development level of economy and society, the characteristics of diversity of people’s life demand are enhanced more, which could be seen obviously in the cities in China. It is one of the most important contents to achieving effectively to social transformation and promoting the innovation of city social management that guiding practice of social management with the governance concept and promoting social organization to actively participate in urban social governance. At the same time, as the third departments distinguished from the party and government organization and enterprises, social organization is rooted in the grassroots society, plays a more and more important role in the urban construction and social affairs, and has become a significant force to be reckoned with to serve the city, participate in social governance, and promote a harmony society. But in practice, the social organization is still faced with many problems demanding prompt solution in the process of participation in urban social governance. If it could not respond to these problems through the stable systematic mechanisms of participation, the role played by the social organizations in city social governance in the city would be discounted.Using governance and good governance theory, social capital theory, and resource-dependency theory as the theoretical basis, and the existing relevant research results as research basis, this study reflected on practices of social organization to participate in urban social governance, summarized the effect, problems and restriction factors of social organization to participate in urban social governance on the basis of a large number of investigation and data analysis, and made quantitative analysis of the relationship between the effect and existing problems, then the existing problems and restriction factors of the social organization to participate in city governance, using quantitative methods such as the factor analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis and qualitative methods such as literature method and case analysis. Through the design of 13 groups of hypotheses, including 80 pieces of hypotheses, and implementation of some validation, it made clear the relationship among the performance, problems and obstructive factors of social organization’s participation in city social governance. This study found that not all the obstructive factors had the equal effect on the formation of problems of social organization’s participation in urban social governance, The obstructive factors from the government had generally and relatively significant effect on the problems except social organization’s own problems, and besides relationships between social organization’s own problems and their own obstructive factors, the government could also have a role to play to help social organizations to overcome their own problems. In addition, the relationships between the social organization’s obstructive factors and the problems of the government management of social organizations did not seem to be obvious in this study. The obstructive factors from citizen, such as the family burden, government policies guidance and the acceptance of the participation cost for citizens, had widespread influence on their attitude and behavior of participation in social organizations. The verification result of 13 groups of hypotheses outlined the relationships among obstructive factors, problems and participation performance for the research, and provided the basis on which the mechanism of social organization’s participation in city social governance could be built. Using it as the path and direction, and combining it with China’s social and cultural characteristics, this study constructed 11 mechanisms including structure design, power and responsibility division, tissue culture, institutional guarantee, supervision and evaluation, communication and negotiation, information sharing, network maintenance, interests balance, relationship maintenance and systematic participation, and in the views of the main participation bodies(that is, government, social organization, citizens and the enterprise) and the hierarchies to carry out mechanisms(concept propaganda, system building, resource guarantee and operation implementation), it also puts forward the comprehensive safeguard measures to ensure the implement of mechanisms of social organization to participate in urban social governance.
