Research on the Mechanism of Community Participation in Urban Governance Led by Party Building in New Business Formats
The rapid advancement of the digital economy has led to the emergence of a new workforce exceeding ten million individuals, whose service roles function as the "capillaries" of urban environments, yet they experience significant marginalization in terms of governance participation. This study is grounded in the governance framework and develops a four-dimensional analytical model encompassing "organizational embedding - institutional synergy - technological adaptation - value recognition." This framework aims to systematically analyze the practical challenges and potential optimization strategies for the involvement of new employment groups in urban governance. The findings indicate that these workers are ensnared in a dual predicament, characterized by a fragmented identity as both service providers and governance participants. Current practices reveal notable mechanical deficiencies, including the virtualization of mobilization efforts by industry party organizations, obstacles to inter-departmental data sharing, inadequate adaptation of high-cost participation channels, and the undermining of public spirit by reliance on instrumental trust. Through empirical analysis of innovative practices in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, and Shenzhen, the study proposes several pathways for improvement: establishing a demand-responsive service supply mechanism to foster emotional cohesion through staggered party building and enhanced rights protection; creating a cross-domain collaborative digital governance platform to dismantle data silos and expedite response times via a joint meeting system and negative list management; designing a tiered incentive community that merges basic point redemption with advanced rights and the promotion of life values to enhance subject awareness; and advocating for stringent institutional reforms that empower governance, including legal quotas for community representatives and legislative participation concerning labor rights protection. The research underscores that only through a profound integration of organizational strengths, institutional resilience, and technological innovation can new employment workers transition from "atomized service providers" to "community governors," thereby offering a Chinese solution that effectively combines theoretical insights with practical applicability for the modernization of governance in megacities.
