The Situation, Process and Result of the Integration of Resident Village Cadres from the Perspective of “Organization Man”-Based on the Investigation of B Town in T City

As a key force to help the country realize the strategy of rural revitalization, why do resident village cadres present differences in individual integration in practice? Based on the perspective of “organization man”, the investigation of village cadres in B town of T City shows that village cadres generally face the dual organizational situation of dispatched organization and rural society, and their integration validity comes from the matching process of “individual-organization”. Specifically, the matching degree between the resident village cadres and the dispatched organizations shapes their willingness and ability to integrate, while the matching degree with the rural society directly affects the result of their integration. Based on the analysis framework of “situation-process-result”, the differentiated integration of resident village cadres can be summarized into three types: suspended presence, structural embedment and integrated leadership. Among them, motivation and ability are the core factors that drive the differences in the integration of cadres. To promote the effective integration of resident village cadres, it is necessary to further improve the incentive mechanism, promote accurate empowerment and fully stimulate the endogenous vitality of villages. The analysis of the differences in the integration of cadres provides practical experience for understanding and optimizing the mechanism of cadres’ residence in villages, and has certain enlightening significance for thinking about the relationship between the state and villages under the background of rural revitalization strategy.
