Performance Evaluation Of The Oversea High-Level Talents Policy Based On Goal Attainment And Policy Experience Two-Wheel Model

The essence of international talent competition is to attract the cross-border flow and concentration of talents with high scarcity and performance,which is treated as one of the most important sources of intelligence for national governance transformation.The Overseas High-Level Talents Policy is the first internationally-oriented national talent strategy plan that launched by the central government in 2008.Previous research has revealed that overseas high-level talents effectively promoted the spillover of knowledge and technology and accelerated the productivity.With the top-down policy promotion,the spatial distribution pattern of resources of return talents has been reshaped.Although researchers have partially explored the entrepreneurial characteristics,innovative performance and policy effects of overseas high-level talents,they have not yet proposed a systematic evaluation framework to examine the overall impact of policy performance.Based on the existing public policy evaluation framework and talent policy performance measurement basis,this study proposes a topdown and bottom-up policy performance evaluation framework to measure the policy performance of overseas high-level talents.This study proposes a two-wheel evaluation framework for overseas high-level talents policy based on goal attainment and the policy experience model.The former follows the top-down path of “policy makers—policy goals—policy performance”,the economic framework,and the fact evaluation logic,focusing on the causal argument between policies and results,and paying additional attention to the objective performance which mostly relates to the policy performance.The latter follows the bottom-up path of "policy objects—policy experience—policy performance",the behavioral framework and the policy satisfaction evaluation dimensions,focusing on subjective performance that centrally relates to the policy experience such as policy satisfaction.Based on this framework,the research carried out the parallel evaluation of subjective and objective performance under two paths.The research follows multiple methodological approach.In this paper,the quantitative test based on indicator approach,the project demonstration based on experimental design,the survey of policy objects based on questionnaires and multi-case interviews,and the following research conclusions are reached:(1)Conducting objective measurement of overseas high-level talent policy performance.Following the path of "decomposition of policy goals-concept of policy performance-determination of indicator system",the author constructs an indicator system of the performance of high-level talent policy to systematically measure the classified performances of overseas high-level talents in Zhejiang Province.Firstly,the types of index systems for entrepreneurial,corporate innovative,and university innovative talents have obtained the factor connotation corresponding to the "nativederived-overflow" dimension.Secondly,the scale performance has,to a certain extent,achieved policy goals of promoting economic and social development and creating economic and social value.Individual performance reflects effectiveness of the policy's selection effect of the high-level talents.Thirdly,the analysis of variance of the regional clustering ‘Selected Talents' reveals significant differences between the performance of entrepreneurial ‘Selected Talents' and corporate innovative ‘Selected Talents' under different marketing levels and s.The marketing level leads to greater differences of the performance of entrepreneurial ‘Selected Talents',while the policy intervention level leads to greater differences of the performance of corporate innovative ‘Selected Talents'.(2)Demonstrating the net effect of policy intervention of overseas high-level talent in the process of performance production.The research follows the experimental approach and the difference-in-difference model.Treating the academic ‘Selected Talents' as the experimental group and those matching unselected talents as the control group to explore the policy effect of whether the introduction of the Recruitment Program for Young Professionals affects the academic productivity.Firstly,through the difference-in-difference approach regression and the robustness tests of parallel trends,it is found that the Youth Thousand Talents Plan have significant positive effects on the indicators that reflect academic productivity,such as the paper quality of core authors and the numbers of citations of both core authors and non-core authors.Secondly,the Youth Thousand Talents Plan policy has a significant sustained effect on the improvement of academic productivity.The incentive effect has sharply increased in the third year and after which maintained a relatively high and steady growth rate,especially the impact on the quality of SCI papers of core authors reached 12% in the eighth year following the policy implementation.Among other control variables,age and gender have no significant effect on academic productivity,while the time span of overseas experience(long),overseas experience richness(multi-national),postdoctoral experience(international),country of doctoral graduate school(international),and ranking of doctoral graduate school(higher)have significant positive effects on academic productivity.(3)Testing the effect of expectation disconfirmation on policy satisfaction.Under the policy experience evaluation model,the variables of the quality of policy supply,policy expectations,perception of inconsistent expectations,red tape,policy satisfaction of overseas high-level talents policy are set,and descriptive analysis,correlation analysis,stepwise regression,and mediation effect of the bootstrap method test were conducted through questionnaire surveys.First,policy objects' perception of policy supply quality,the positive gap of inconsistent expectations has significant positive effects on policy satisfaction,while policy expectations and red tape have significant negative effects on policy satisfaction.Secondly,inconsistent expectations have part of mediating effects on the relationship between the quality of policy supply and policy satisfaction,with the ratio of 18%.Thirdly,inconsistent expectations have part of mediating effects on the relationship between policy expectations and policy satisfaction,with the ratio of 66%.Overall,an inconsistent expectations model of policy satisfaction was validated.Finally,this study summarizes the areas that can be improved in sample size,performance indicator selection,and research methodology,and puts forward three extensible topics as research prospects,including “Governance Capability on Talent Policy”,“Case Study on Innovative Practice of Talent Policy” and “Construction of Policy Strategic Framework”.
