中文摘要：

基于省际比较和国际比较的视角，本文对效能建设这一具有中国特色的政府创新活动进行了初步的理论研究。本文选取福建省等6个省（自治区）的效能建设实践进行文本分析和相似度分析，提取效能建设的共性特征，并将之与“中国地方政府创新奖”的获奖案例和发达国家行政改革实践进行比较，识别效能建设的核心要素。本文认为。效能建设的本质是一项政府绩效改进活动，其核心是政府采用和实施的一系列创新组合，其旨归与服务型政府构建一脉相承。本文的多案例研究和理论框架为推进效能建设的学术研究提供了初步基础．并时未来研究方向进行了探讨。

英文摘要：

Xiaonengjianshe, an indigenous government innovation activity, is theoretically examined in the paper from the perspectives of interprovincial and international comparison. Practices of six provinces including Fujian Province are analyzed and the common attributes of Xiaonengjianshe are identified. We compare them with winner programs of the Chinese Local Govern- ance Innovation and Excellence Awards and practices of administrative reform in Western developed countries （ the UK and the US） to elucidate the core elements of Xiaonengjianshe and construct its preliminary theoretical framework. Xiaonengjian- she is a government performance improvement activity, with implementation of the package of innovations and aiming at the Service Oriented Government. Our multi - case study and theoretical framework are contributed to the research on Xia- onengjianshe, and future research directions are pointed out in the end.
