County-Level Government Collaborative Management Paths in China: 3 Cases

A fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) of three cases explores the non-linear relationship between collaborative management capabilities and policy resources in Chinese county-level governments. The study identifies a configuration with 36.67% solution coverage and 98.24% solution consistency, involving six capability variables. The dataset is authored by Jiangping Fu and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing configuration paths for public health management based on six capability variables
• Testing robustness of collaborative management pathways based on sensitivity test results
• Identifying bottleneck levels in management capacity based on perceived and configured capacity relationships
• Comparing conventional and non-conventional management time-phase groupings

Strengths

• Solution consistency of 98.24% suggests a strong causal relationship
• Identifies 3 core elements (Integration, Learning, Perception) and 2 supporting elements (Innovation, Insight)
• Includes a sensitivity test suggesting pathway robustness

Limitations

• Dataset size is 678.0 KB, indicating a limited scope of three cases
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
