Research On The Performance Evaluation And Influencing Factors Of Tibetan Cooperatives In Poverty Alleviation

As one of the new agricultural business subjects,farmers’ cooperatives,through the effective integration of poverty alleviation resources,can stimulate the intrinsic potential of poor farmers,thus achieving endogenous poverty alleviation and contributing to the sustainable poverty alleviation of poor farmers,which plays an extremely important role in consolidating the achievements of poverty alleviation in China.This paper first analyses the current environmental background of Tibetan farmers’ cooperatives,introduces the relevant concepts and theoretical foundations,compares the relevant literature on the performance evaluation and influencing factors of farmers’ cooperatives at home and abroad,and summarises the research results and shortcomings,so as to arrive at the research theme and significance of this paper.The paper then evaluates the level of anti-poverty performance of cooperatives in terms of economic benefits,capacity enhancement and rights protection of poor members according to the actual situation in Tibet,and uses multiple linear regression to identify the main factors influencing the anti-poverty performance of cooperatives based on the comprehensive anti-poverty performance score of Tibetan farmers’ cooperatives,and further continues to analyse through the mediating effect what mechanisms influence the business capacity of cooperative leaders through Further,the heterogeneity of gender and political identity was also analysed.The final conclusions: First,the anti-poverty performance of Tibetan farmers’ co-operatives is above average overall,indicating that farmers’ co-operatives play a better role in driving poor members out of poverty in a sustainable manner.However,the anti-poverty performance of Tibetan farmers’ cooperatives is the most important factor,followed by the anti-poverty performance of income,and finally the anti-poverty performance of ability,indicating that the ability of poor members needs further improvement.Secondly,the level of anti-poverty performance of Tibetan farmers’ cooperatives is affected by the individual characteristics of poor members,the business ability of the head of the cooperative,the attitude of the head towards poverty alleviation,the return of the cooperative’s surplus,the cooperative’s management system,and the government’s supervision and support funding factors,with the degree of influence of the indicators varying.Thirdly,the impact of the business capacity of the cooperative head on the anti-poverty performance of the cooperative is mediated by the employment-led effect,which is a short-term effect that brings about an increase in economic indicators and direct perceptions of farmers.The mediating effect of the development prospects of the cooperative is not significant,mainly because the development prospects of the cooperative are a long-term effect that cannot be directly perceived by the farmers.The variability of this effect is analysed from both gender and political identity perspectives;specifically,men may value the business ability of the person in charge more than women,and women may value the attitude of the person in charge more.From a political perspective,CCP members place more importance on the head’s ability to run a business,and non-CCP members place more importance on the head’s attitude towards poverty alleviation as well as income.Finally,combined with the results of the empirical analysis,the following four suggestions are made to improve the level of anti-poverty performance of Tibetan farmers’ co-operatives: talent support to enhance anti-poverty capacity;differentiated development according to local conditions;improved co-operative system and standardised management;and bringing into play the government co-ordination model.
