| Since1980s, China has been experiencing a major historical change involving economic, political, cultural and social areas. With the deepening of economic reform and opening up, the social transformation of China will continue to accelerate. The original single style of economic structure with collective and state ownership is changing to the coexistence of many kinds of ownership. The dual social structure managed and maintained by the company and the government was challenged and become collapsed. Large numbers of people from the company are change into the social market. The social structure is re-adjusted and the social relation is re-integrated. There are many diversified bodies which have been divorced from the traditional organization and these structural changes have brought huge challenges to the development of China Communist Youth League (CCYL) and the play of their political roles.China Communist Youth League (CCYL) has a long history and plays special functions and important roles in revolution, construction and reform period of the country. At the same time, an inevitable fact starts to evolve with the ever deepening of opening up and development of market economy that CCYL’s impact and effective coverage on youth has been decreased. More youth communities have evolved and social problems are increasing with diversified society as well as that of structure and demands of youth.Taking this into consideration, it becomes an inevitable key fact for CCYL’s theory studies to make a correct understanding on basic role of CCYL and look for rules of development of CCYL from complicated situation. However, the political role is fundamental and basic in the overall structure. To a certain extent, it is not possible to keep the real nature and lay a solid foundation for CCYL’s development without an accurate analysis and understanding of its political role.As an independent entity, CCYL’s political role is decided and deeply influenced by its nature. From the Chinese political system, the political role of CCYL is closely linked with the development and operation logic of China Communist Party (CCP).Therefore, it is very important to investigate the CCYL’s political role and the angle of CPC-CCYL relationship is a good access to researches of CCYL’s political role in the new era. From the practice, CPC-CCYL relationship has the obvious inner logic on organizational capital connection, organizational structure and work modes.CCYL is playing a role in organizing and integrating resources based on observation of practice and angle of CPC-CCYL relationship. It is a basic conclusion from its development history, change of roles and actual needs. It is a basic conclusion from its development history, change of roles and actual needs. Therefore, the Thesis is mainly focusing on the study of CCYL’s political role in organizing and integration of resources.From the angle of Organizational Behavior, nature of the organization decides the inner rules which will affect the role directly. Although CCYL is a social community, its daily behavior logic shows that it has four features of political, public service, community and practical.History is a mirror which can be used as reference. Since1922when it was born, CCYL has been improving the political function under the strong leadership from CPC. Briefly speaking, it was a political party community with political fight as main function. From1949to the early years of China’s reform and opening up, it was a government-to-be community with main function to manage young people. From reforming and opening up to the early21century, it was a social community with main function of charity service. After that, it was a social community with main focus to motivate and consolidate young people. CCYL’s political function has been changing with the relationship between CPC and CCYL as the central axis, the features and demand of young people as direction, the leading nature as its inner change and the environmental change as its reason.Whether an organization can fully play its role is closely linked with basic status of its organizational structure. Generally speaking, an open organizational border and flat structure is an important condition for effective connection to the external resources and good communication within the organization. From CCYL’s history and growth, it is becoming an organic organization with continuous role of organizing young people. From her research in Nantong, the writer discovered that CCYL has become more active in organizing young people to participate public affairs management with increasing open feature especially at the local community where it is quite common to see cooperation and interactivity between CCYL, residents and residents committee. From the Nantong CCYL’s practice, objective, operation technique and environment are the3dimensions to form the CCYL’s organizing function. Why, how and where should CCYL organize the activities becomes the mechanism of CCYL。To be more specific, there are two reasons for this function:on one hand,CCYL needs to respond actively to the increasing social power while the political model fades away as natural needs from the changed society. Otherwise it will limit the development of CCYL seriously. On the other hand, it is directly related to the actual status of CCYL since they need to break through the awkward situation for further development with external support. Therefore, CCYL needs to encourage other forces to join their organization to take part in some activities based on topics of common interest. How to organize? From the Nantong case study, four areas include promoting the ideas, building the platform, implementing the orders and attracting by benefits.At an era in which various new organizations are emerging, CCYL cannot meet the demand from the developed situation if it relies only on the organizational structure built up based on planning system and administration tools. CCYL has to improve the connection, cooperation and consolidation with other organizations to increase the attraction and coverage. From practice, consolidation of resources has become an important area of CCYL’s political function. To some extent, resource consolidation is the process and result of CCYL’ positive interaction with external environment which exists widely in the interaction of CCYL with governments, business and NGOs. The main strategies are different during the process of resource integration:some from purchasing service to improve effectiveness of government service and ease the direct conflict between government and public thus getting involved in the public affairs management together with government organizations, some by cooperation via charity projects by using CCYL’s resources, some by penetrating all areas of the companies and improving the connection between CCYL and the survival and development of enterprises. But the basic rule is similar to seek win-win result based on resource consolidation.Since organizing and consolidating are the important function of CCYL during social transformation, ways to strengthen the functions like organizational structure completion, ability to form synergy, effective technology tools, logic transfer of CCYL’s action, social system for resource integration as well as improvement of effect on resource integration have to be developed and improved. |
