Multi-Dimensional Coupling and Efficiency Optimization of Community Governance: A Comprehensive Perspective Based on Subjects, Emotion and Professionalism
Abstract
As the micro-foundation of national governance and the community space for social life, community governance effectiveness is directly related to the process of national governance modernization and the realization of people’s aspiration for a better life. At present, community governance is confronted with practical challenges such as excessive administrative burden, insufficient resident participation, ineffective organizational coordination, and weakened emotional connection. By integrating a number of cutting-edge studies, this paper proposes a multi-dimensional coupling analysis framework that includes governance subject reconstruction, emotional governance embedding and professional competence improvement. The paper argues that the optimization path of community governance lies in the following aspects: first, relying on Party building leadership and mechanism innovation, to realize the effective coordination and vitality stimulation of multiple subjects including administrative forces, community social organizations, volunteers and residents; second, through “embedded emotional coordination”, to embed emotional identity, support, connection and positive emotions into the whole process of governance, so as to soften institutional rigidity, bridge the fragmentation dilemma and enhance community resilience; third, by promoting the professional development of community social organizations and the mixed incentive training of community workers, to improve the precision and sustainability of governance services. Ultimately, the improvement of governance effectiveness depends on the organic integration of “institutional governance, intelligent governance and emotional governance” on the basis of abiding by the underlying logic, life logic and social logic of the community, so as to construct a holistic and resilient community governance model with Chinese characteristics.
