内容提要：本文基于调适拓展后的技术-组织-环境（TOE）框架，构建理解政府数字治理能力的整合性分析框架，并运用定性比较分析方法对省级政府数字治理能力进行组态分析。研究发现：（1）单个影响因素难以提升地方政府数字治理能力，但政府数字服务水平作为核心条件发挥较为普适的作用；（2）存在驱动较高政府数字治理能力的3种驱动模式，分别是协同共生融合型、组织-环境平衡型、多元叠加主导型；（3）在特定条件下，政府数据治理能力和公众服务需求可以通过等效替代以“殊途同归”的方式提升地方政府数字治理能力。在跨案例的比较中进一步发现，中国东、中西部地区政府数字治理能力驱动路径存在明显差异。本文的研究结果揭示了政府数字治理能力背后多重因素间的复杂本质，并为不同区域地方政府提升政府数字治理能力提供理论指导。

　　Abstract: Governments' digital governance encounters multiple challenges from institutions, infrastructure, and citizen participation. With the deepening of the digital technology revolution, the field of governmental governance is transforming, and the role of establishing digital government and implementing digital governance in governmental reform is increasingly critical. Based on the adapted and expanded technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework, this paper constructs an integrated analysis framework to understand the digital governance capability of the government. Then, it uses the qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) method to conduct a configuration analysis of the digital governance capability of 31 provincial governments.

　　The findings are as follows. (1) It is difficult for a single factor to improve the digital governance ability of local governments. However, the level of digital services plays a more universal role as the core condition. (2) There are three modes that drive the higher digital governance capability: the synergistic symbiosis integration type, the organization-environment balance type, and the multi-superposition dominant type. (3) The data governance capability and public service demand can enhance local governments' digital governance capability through equivalent substitution under specific conditions. (4) The cross-case comparison shows obvious differences in the driving paths of digital governance capability in the eastern and central regions of China.

This paper expands previous literature in the following three aspects. First, from the perspective of configuration, it explores how the combined effects of multiple linkages among the factors of technology, organization and environment affect the government's digital governance capability. It overcomes the shortcomings of the reductive analysis method in explaining such issues and responds to the call for the coupling research of TOE factors in the government's digital governance capability, providing a theoretical reference for the empirical analysis. Second, comparing the difference between higher and lower configurations, this paper tests antecedents and causal asymmetry of high and low configurations, which improves the persuasion of policies and conclusions and enriches the application scenarios of the QCA method. Third, from the dual perspectives of TOE theory and configuration, this paper analyzes the potential substitution relationships among specific conditions. Specifically, the multiple configurations with different conditions of technology, organization and environment as the core can realize the higher digital governance capability through equivalent substitution.

This paper provides theoretical evidence that TOE factors improve the government's digital governance capability in different contexts, promoting the transformation of research from a single contingent perspective to an overall multi-dimensional perspective.
