官僚制:危机与超越

官僚制是以马克斯·韦伯等西方学者为代表所构建的一种经典管理范式,意指现代社会实施合法统治的行政组织,它是一种高度理性化的组织模式。从其诞生以来,一直在各国公共管理领域中发挥着重大的作用和影响。但随着各国公共管理理论与实践的发展,官僚制的内在缺陷也日益暴露出来,官僚制在现代社会中的专业化危机、服从危机、民主危机、信息危机,使其受到了广泛的批评与质疑。对官僚制进行全面的审查与解析,以澄清人们对官僚制的看法,目的不在于全盘否定官僚制,而在于正视官僚制并从复合型官僚、道德猜想、顾客驱使及规制重塑四个方面对其进行重整,在此基础上对我国公共管理的改革取向作出一些前瞻性的设想。

Bureaucracy:Peril and Overtaking

With the reform in public management in China, we should study bureaucracy seriously. Bureaucracy was put forward by Marx Wiber and other scholars. It is a classical way of management and has been going rather well in public management in different countries. But with more practices in public management in each country, it reveals its shortcomings in different ways, and it is therefore criticized. We are now reviewing bureaucracy but our purpose is not to refuse it completely, but adjust it to serve the public management better.
