以佛山市A区为个案,对如何测量中国县(区)层级的政府治理绩效进行实证探索。在借鉴世界治理指标(WGI)的基础上,构建了一个本土化的地方政府治理绩效指标体系,对A区政府的治理绩效水平进行量化评估,并且通过构建一个多元回归模型深入挖掘影响其总体治理水平的相关因素。结果表明:公众对于A区政府的总体治理水平处于"一般"到"比较满意"之间;在六个维度的治理绩效中,公众满意度最低的是"腐败控制"和"法治",最高的是"政府稳定和暴力避免"和"政府有效性";除了"管制质量"和"政府稳定与暴力避免"之外,其他四个维度的治理绩效对A区政府的总体治理水平都具有显著影响,其中,"政府有效性"对总体治理水平的影响最大。
