Policy Implementation Deviation and Its Causes from the Perspective of “Institution-Organization”Taking Administrative Approval Reform as an Example

Administrative approval reform at the grassroots level is the main task of optimizing the construction of “business environment”, aiming to improve the efficiency of service supply by “reducing and standardizing” administrative approval power. In the process of reform, the policy implementation is prone to deviations, and the implementation results may deviate from or even conflict with the goals. The reform of the administrative approval bureau of S city in H province is faced with the dilemma of implementation deviation. The paper makes analysis the dilemma by constructing the framework of “institutional logic-organizational strategy” and introducing institutional flexibility. It is found that the interaction between “logic” and “strategy” causes the contraction of institutional flexibility, and policy implementation on the basis of initial logic becomes the main driving force for deviation. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the level of rule of law of the administrative team, promote the normalization mechanism of the interaction between approval and management, straighten out the chain of authorities and responsibilities of grassroots governments based on the needs of practice to avoid the generation of deviations, and enhance the quality of service.
