农民工已然成为我国城市建设和经济发展的中坚力量,但由于户籍制度和城乡二元体制的影响,他们无法得到城市、农村两地政府的有效服务和管理,导致他们对政府的信任感偏低。本文利用西安交通大学人口与发展研究所2008年12月在陕西省X市LH区对农民工进行实地调查所获得的数据,以政府信任理论和社会资本理论作为理论基础,对西部农民工信任流入地政府现状及影响因素进行研究。研究结果发现,高素质、年轻一代的农民工对流入地政府的信任感低;社会资本越丰富的农民工越信任流入地政府;政治活动参与意愿越强、社会经济地位越高的农民工则越不信任流入地政府。
Rural migrant workers, playing an important role in urban construction and economic development, are hard to gain a decent access of public service and effective government management due to the household registration system and urban - rural dual economy, thus their trust in government is extremely low. Using survey data of rural migrant workers in Xi' an City in December 2008, this paper analyzes the current situation and effects of social capital on rural migrant workers' trust in govern- ment of migrant places. The results show that : ( 1 ) the rural migrant workers with higher quahty and younger age maintain lower trust in the governments of their migrant places; (2) the more social capital rural migrant workers have, the more the government of migrant places they trust; (3) the stronger willingness of political activities and the higher social status rural migrant workers have, the lower the government of migrant places they trust.
