Abstract:

The division of labor between party and government leadership teams is not only a technical issue of governance, but also a substantive issue in the field of politics and public administration. The typology of this division of labor can be divided into the institutional division of labor, the active division of labor, the conformity division of labor, and the temporary division of labor. Using typology models based on institutionalism and the actor theory and data on the division of party and government leadership teams in G County over 14 years, our findings show that the division of party and government leadership teams at the county level is influenced by institutional and active factors. The interaction of these two causes leads to the division of labor between the party and the government. This dynamic contributes to institutional rigidity and subjective flexibility, which is a fundamental principle of democratic centralism.

Key words: division of labor among the party and government leadership, typology of team division of iabor, institutionalism, the initiative of the actor
