摘要
追溯公共管理理论的起源与演进,以理性思维为基础的定量分析始终是公共管理研究的重要方法,并越来越受到推崇。但是公共管理话语体系的模糊性以及对"理性人"假设的质疑使得在公共管理中推崇定量分析失去必然性。更为重要的是,研究方法的选择与学科的价值取向密切相关。如果公共管理的价值取向就是"效率优先",推崇定量分析并无不妥。随着新公共服务理论的兴起,当公共管理的价值取向为"公平优先",更多关注"民主平等、公民参与"时,过分推崇定量分析可能会偏离公共管理的价值理念。
Tracing back to the origin and evolution of public management theory, quantitative research methods based on rational thinking is preferred as important research method of public management. However, due to the ambiguity of discourse system and question about ＂rational man＂ assumptions, emphasis on quantitative research methods will lose basis in public management. Moreover, the choice of methods is closely related to disciplinary value orientation. If ＂efficiency priority＂ is value orientation of public management, it is not inappropriate to prefer quantitative method research. With the rise of the new public service theory, value orientation changes to ＂equity priority＂, and ＂democratic equality and citizen participation＂ is further concerned. Therefore, excessive emphasis on quantitative research methods may deviate from values orientation of public management.
