摘要
随着简政放权改革的逐步深入,基层政府承担的行政事务逐步增多,也越来越具体实在。为了完成日益繁杂的行政事务,乡镇政府在编制管理与"凡进必考"的刚性约束下雇佣了许多编外人员。为了养活编外人员,乡镇政府将大量时间和精力用在"找钱"上。而为了能使上级政府的专项经费和财政补贴更为合理,乡镇政府又主动承接和延揽了本应属于上级政府的工作,从而形成"因事养人、因人找钱、因钱找事"的恶性循环。这种因事而找钱养人的谋生式行政与乡镇政府应有的职能定位渐行渐远。只有当乡镇政府不再为维持自身运转而陷入"找钱"烦恼时,它们才有足够的动力回归公共服务本位,有效承担起乡镇政府作为中国最基层政府的治理职能①。
With the gradual deepening reform of streamlining government functions and administration and delegating powers,the administrative affairs undertaken by the grassroots governments have gradually increased.In order to complete the increasing affairs,the township government has hired many supernumerary personnel under the rigid constraints of the Bianzhi management. In order to keep up supernumerary payrolls,the township government spends a lot of time and energy on " earning money." In order to make the financial subsidies from the higher-level government more reasonable,the township government has to undertake the task of the higherlevel government,thus forming a vicious circle of "completing the increasing affairs by supernumerary personnel,keeping up supernumerary payrolls,and undertaking more extra duties".This "making-a-living"administration has gradually deviated township governments from their due functions. Only when the township governments no longer fall into the trouble of "earning money",they have enough motivation to return to the functions of providing public service.
