Abstract:

By focusing on Party-building practices within high-tech enterprises located in one of China’s first national-level high-tech zones, and using a mixed-methods approach with an exploratory sequential design, this studysystematically examines the influencing factors, operational mechanism, and governance efficacy of Party-building in empowering enterprise development. Drawing on grounded theory, the research constructs a theoretical framework of integrated governance centered on three core dimensions: political leadership capacity, organizational embeddedness, and value cohesion. The influencing factors identified in the qualitative phase are subsequently translated into quantitative measurement dimensions.The effectiveness of the integrated governance model is empirically tested through multiple linear regression analysis. The findings indicate that in enterprise contexts characterized by strong market orientation and technological intensity, grassroots Party organizations integrate the Party’s leadership with corporate governance by leveraging political leadership capacity, organizational embeddedness, and value cohesion. Through this mechanism, political guidance and market efficiency become mutually adaptive.Enterprises are then enabled to strengthen political resilience while simultaneously promoting innovation-driven development.
