| dc.description.abstract | In the recent years, the government funded nonprofit organization has gradually played the role of the government agent to practice public services. Due to its establishment, the government makes the most efficient arrangement of the resources and manpower without increasing the number of public personnel. Compared with the government, it has better flexibility and responsiveness. Taipei Hakka Affair Commission, Taipei City Government, has delegated its funded nonprofit organization, Taipei Hakka Culture Foundation, to deal with the Hakka related affairs. The thesis is aimed to study the status quo, which is in a mode of planning, labor division, and delegation. I adopt the literature review and the in-depth interview accompanied by MAXQDA11, the qualitative research software, as the text analytical tools to conduct a case study of Taipei Hakka Culture Foundation. First, I will make a definition of the Hakka administration. Second, through the Agency Theory, I try to understand the relationship between the principal and the agent and the related problems it may cause. Then, I will make the local government funded nonprofit organization the research object to discuss the agency formation, the operating system, the operating performance, and the accountability mechanism.
Based on the public sector’s principles of delegation and flexibility, the case uses the “contract” to delegate the government funded nonprofit organization to operate and manage Taipei City Hakka Cultural Park. The organization is endowed with power by the public sector. It has the outer appearance of the public sector but the inner essence of the private corporation. It also faces the accountability from the government and the related sectors. However, the line between the public and private sectors is getting blurred. The balance of the effective accountability and the organization’s autonomy will be an issue worth discussion.
In my study, I have the following findings. 1. The organization change is influenced by the fund shortage, as a result of the slowdown in economic growth, and the audit. 2. The weak organization counts on the government to assist in its autonomy in terms of the concentration of executive power and the fund. 3. The financial support for the organization with fund shortage has declined. 4. The low information disclosure is against the public supervision. In the conclusion of the thesis, I will make suggestions on policies for Taipei Hakka Affair Commission and Taipei Hakka Culture Foundation.
