How Burnout of Grassroots Bureaucracy be Generated

In the process of promoting the modernization of grassroots governance capacity and governance system, the tension between responsibility control and efficiency improvement of grassroots governance subjects runs through the whole time. There are conflicts between centralized allocation of administrative power and goal setting at the grassroots level, standardization of governance behavior standards and compatibility of local knowledge, inter-level risk sharing and incentive mismatch, which exacerbate the tension and make the grassroots governance fall into the dilemma of high goal setting and insufficient governance ability. The unbridgeable gap between goals and capabilities of grassroots bureaucracy has caused repeated mobilization and pressure by the county and township governments, resulting in burnout, resource dispersion and excessive consumption in the grass-roots bureaucracy.
