中国式现代化进程中科技社团功能的质性研究

Qualitative Research on the Functions of Sci-Tech Societies in Chinese-style Modernization

摘要:

从“结构-功能”理论视角出发,将科技社团置于中国式现代化的场景之中,探究其与利益相关者间的互动关系,以明确科技社团多元功能的理论应然形态。利用NVvivo分析软件,对中国科协下属的210个国家级科技社团的组织章程进行文本质性分析,检验这些功能是否有实然体现。主要结论如下：第一,科技社团在中国式现代化中的核心功能,主要聚焦于科学传播、提供专业化公共服务,但“成色”不高；第二,科技社团的功能发挥存在“内亲外疏”的结构不平衡现象；第三,科技社团会基于政府期许,对功能进行“功利性”排序,上传下达的“桥梁”作用未能有效实现；此外,科技社团的功能实施也有“言行不一”问题,改革的突破口在于挂靠到事业单位的社团。可尝试通过中国式现代化中的“法治、政治、自治”逻辑,推进科技社团功能的高质量发挥。

Abstract:

From the perspective of "structure-function" theory, sci-tech societies are placed in the scenario of Chinese-style modernization, and the interaction between sci-tech societies and stakeholders is explored, so as to clarify the theoretical contingent forms of the multiple functions of sci-tech societies. Using NVvivo analysis software, text analysis is conducted on the organizational charters of 210 national sci-tech societies under the China Association for Sci-Tech to test whether these functions are actually reflected. The main conclusions are as follows: Firstly, the core functions of sci-tech societies in Chinese-style modernization are mainly focused on science dissemination and the provision of specialized public services, but the quality is not high. Secondly, there is a structural imbalance in the functioning of sci-tech societies, characterized by the phenomenon of "internal affinity and external detachment". Thirdly, sci-tech societies will prioritize their functions based on government expectations, but their role as a "bridge" between the government and sci-tech workers has not been effectively realized. In addition, the implementation of the functions of sci-tech societies also has the problem of inconsistency between words and deeds, and the breakthrough of the reform lies in the sci-tech societies affiliated with public institutions. This paper advocates to promote the functions’ quality of sci-tech societies through the logic of "law, politics, and autonomy" in Chinese-style modernization.
