数字政府在当下的研究热潮中方兴未艾。伴随着解构和重塑科层制的呼声，数字化俨然已成为推动政府效能提升的新动力。然而，无论是在理论思辩还是在治理实践中，科层制均表现出了极强的韧性，使数字政府始终处于来自技术和结构间张力的持续困扰之中，并形成了突围论和协作论两种主流观点。但两种观点对科层制的认知都存在局限性，这种局限性突出表现在忽视了科层制在国家建构中的基础性作用。对此，基于中国数字政府治理实践，提出数字科层制的数字政府原理论，阐释数字科层“体”“用”关系体系，指出数字科层制具有全新的运行空间、决策模式、结构特征、动力机制和价值导向，是科层制在数字时代下新的衍生形态。要想真正使数字政府发挥治理效能，“依托”而非“突围”或是目前最优的理论和现实选择。

Digital government has recently enjoyed growing interest. Accompanied by calls for deconstructing and reshaping bureaucracy, digitalization has become a new driving force for government to obtain effectiveness. However, bureaucracy still shows strong resilience both in theoretical community and governance practices, and has been put in the tension between technology and structure. Accordingly, breakout and collaboration are increasingly becoming the mainstream view. But both views have cognition limitation, which is highlighted by neglecting the fundamental role of bureaucracy in the construction of the state. In this regard, based on the practice of China’s digital government, the original theory of digital government is explored. Which explains the philosophy and application aspects of digital bureaucracy, and points out that digital bureaucracy has a novel operation space, decision-making mode, structural characteristics, motivation mechanism, and value orientation, and is a new concept about bureaucracy in the digital era.
