摘　　要：作为一种有效的治理工具,文件在中国政府组织的运转过程中起到重要的作用。但对文件的过度依赖也导致了文件生产的泛滥,甚至产生了许多“反效率”的冗余性文件。通过对A区区镇两级政府的文件生产过程及其行动逻辑进行分析,本文认为,当前基层政府中文件的冗余性生产是基于中国特定的政治制度和政府组织结构的产物,受到上下级政府间绩效责任和风险责任双向传导的科层制逻辑支配。对于不同层级的基层政府而言,文件的冗余性生产使得其能够以最小的成本实现绩效压力与风险责任的捆绑与转移。在此基础上,本文指出,作为一种政府组织内部的特殊现象,从科层组织行为逻辑的角度出发分析文件的冗余性生产过程,能够为分析当前“以文件精简文件”的现实困境提供有益启示。As an effective governance tool,documents play a critical role in the operation of bureaucracy in China.However,an excess of dependence on documents causes an excessive production of documents,even loads of redundant documents that are ‘anti-efficiency’,which makes local governments struggle with the increasing number of paperwork.After research into the motive and process of document production in town-level and district-level government in District A,this paper finds that the production of redundant documents,which is dominated by the logic of performance responsibility and risk responsibility,is a result of Chinese political institution and bureaucratic structure.Producing redundant documents makes local governments succeed in bundling and transferring performance and risk.Above all,we think it is illuminating to analyze the realistic dilemma of ‘cut paperwork by paperwork’ by doing a study of redundancy in paperwork from the perspective of bureaucratic logic and behaviors.
