摘要
鉴于地方官员的高压力可能会阻碍有效的治理和经济战略,本研究旨在探讨这种压力对促进区域经济发展的努力的直接影响。因此,本研究对中国西部地区的 957 名基层干部(即地方官员)进行访谈,考察他们的心理压力对促进区域经济发展举措(以下简称促增长举措)的影响,结果显示基层干部的心理压力与促增长举措之间存在倒 U 型关系。使命感加强了压力与促增长举措之间的关系。相反,心理契约对这一关系的影响不大。这些发现为解决中国基层干部的心理压力、完善组织管理、定制激励制度以及最终促进区域经济发展提供了宝贵的指导。
Does local official stress hurt regional economic development? Survey evidence from Chinese grassroot cadres
Amid concerns that high levels of stress among local officials may impede effective governance and economic strategies, this study aims to explore the direct impact of such stress on efforts to enhance regional economic development. Thus, this study conducts interviews with 957 grassroots cadres, the local officials in western China, to examine the influence of their psychological stress on the initiative to promote regional economic development (hereafter shortened to the growth-promoting initiative), which reveals an inverted U-shaped relationship between grassroots cadres' psychological stress and their growth-promoting initiatives. The sense of mission strengthens the relationship between stress and growth-enhancing initiative. Conversely, the psychological contract does not significantly affect this relationship. These findings provide valuable guidance for addressing the psychological stress of Chinese grassroot cadre, refining organizational management, tailoring incentive systems, and ultimately catalyzing regional economic development.
