Tóm tắt

Ảnh hưởng của cải cách phân quyền đến hạnh phúc của công dân trong bối cảnh một quốc gia đang phát triển vẫn chưa được nghiên cứu đầy đủ. Chúng tôi nghiên cứu ảnh hưởng này bằng cách xem xét trải nghiệm của Indonesia. Dữ liệu được thu thập từ Khảo sát Đời sống Gia đình Indonesia năm 2007, bao gồm các cuộc phỏng vấn trực tiếp với dân số trưởng thành ở Indonesia (N cá nhân = 29,024, N quận = 262). Phân tích đa cấp được sử dụng để kiểm tra ảnh hưởng của phân quyền tài chính và chính trị đến hạnh phúc của công dân, và cho thấy rằng phân quyền tài chính có mối liên hệ đáng kể với hạnh phúc của công dân, trong khi phân quyền chính trị thì không; những kết quả này vẫn vững vàng khi tính đến các biến số cá nhân và quận liên quan đến hạnh phúc. Những phát hiện này gợi ý rằng phân quyền làm tăng hạnh phúc của công dân thông qua khả năng cải thiện của các quận trong việc cung cấp dịch vụ công, thay vì thông qua cơ hội cải thiện của công dân để tham gia trực tiếp vào hoạt động chính trị.
