Abstract

In face of limited social resources and complicated public issues, governments are constantly expanding the functions; however, the administrative efficiency and effectiveness is not promoted. Besides, the mass society presents multiple demands for public service. In such a governmental reform movement, the cooperation between governments and civil organizations is emphasized. The cooperation between public sectors and private sectors allows governments better arranging governance structure and implementing the core of tasks to facilitate government downsizing with better fit in the public power and social force combination process. Aiming at employees and supervisors of Kaohsiung City Government as the questionnaire survey objects, total 300 copies of questionnaire are distributed, and 263 valid copies are retrieved, with the retrieval rate 88%. The results show that among the second-level dimensions, “respect and trust” is the most important dimension, followed by “goal consensus” and “mutual benefit”. Among the 15 indicators, the top five indicators are: multiple communication methods, goals and results, resource allocation, coordination mechanism, and project management. According to the results to propose conclusions and suggestions, it is expected to provide reference for the central government and local governments continuously executing the New Southbound policy.
