摘　　要：与大多数社会科学研究一样,公共管理作为一个复杂的社会治理系统也存在着许多不可直接观测的概念和范畴。结构方程模型以其精确化、计量化的数据结构,为公共管理研究所涉及到的众多难以测量的概念,提供了一个精确化的建模以及验证过程,因而成为公共管理研究的有效分析工具。但是,结构方程分析模型在具体的运用中,存在着模型的拟合真实性问题,需要规范性理论加以阐释。本文着重分析了结构方程模型的应用范围和边界,认为它只能作为公共管理范畴分析的定量工具。As a complicated social governance system, public administration, like most of other social science researches, deals with many concepts and scopes hardly being observed in a direct way. But with aid of the precise, measurable data structure, structural equation model can provide a precise modeling and verification process for some concepts difficult to be measured in public management. Thus, that model has become an effective analysis tool for public management research. However, in the process of applying this tool, structural equation model has a problem of model fitting authenticity and needs normative theories to make the further explaination. Such problem thereby limits the application scopes and boundaries and makes the SEM only act as a quantitative tool in the areas of public administration.
