중국 광둥성 도시 녹색 발전에서의 협동 거버넌스 연구: 부서 간 인지 정도의 조절효과를 중심으로

Abstract

(Purpose): This study examines the key factors shaping collaborative governance among local government sectors in Guangdong Province during urban green development, and tests the moderating role of interdepartmental perception differences. (Research Design/Methodology/Approach): Using questionnaires and in-depth interviews with public sector employees, the study employs correlation and hierarchical regression analyses. Green development effectiveness serves as the dependent variable; initial conditions, meta-governance, goals and missions, policies and laws, and supervision, incentive, and accountability mechanisms act as independent variables, with perception level as a moderator. (Research findings): All independent variables significantly enhance green development effectiveness, with policies and laws and supervision, incentive, and accountability mechanisms having the strongest impacts. Perception levels significantly moderate the effects of initial conditions, policies and laws, and supervision, incentive, and accountability mechanisms, but not meta-governance or goals and missions. Interviews further reveal strong institutional independence and weak interdepartmental information linkage in meta-governance, and that central–local interest competition hinders the translation of consensus into coordinated action. (Research implications and originality): The study highlights the need to strengthen institutionalized meta-governance and improve incentive and accountability mechanisms to enhance collaborative governance in urban green development. It also offers theoretical and policy implications for advancing China’s “dual-carbon” strategy, providing original empirical evidence from Guangdong Province.
