政策倡导是社会工作机构的重要职能和服务内容。政治关联在社会工作机构政策倡导中的作用存在争议，在中国尚未得到充分探讨。本研究考察了中国社会工作机构中政治关联与政策倡导之间的关系以及高管专业化的调节作用。基于687个机构的样本，采用Oprobit回归模型，结果证实政治关联与社会工作机构的政策倡导呈正相关关系，且高管专业化程度调节了政治关联与政策倡导之间的正向效应，具体而言，社会工作机构高管专业化程度越高，政治关联与政策倡导之间的正向效应越显著。本研究结果丰富了社会工作政策实践的实证研究，并为政治关联与政策倡导的争论提供参考。
Policy advocacy is an important function and service content of social work organizations. The role of political connection in policy advocacy by social work organizations is controversial and has not been fully discussed in China. The study examined the association between political connection and policy advocacy and the moderating effects of executives’ specialization, among social work organizations in China. Based on a sample of 687 organizations and the Oprobit Regression Model method, the findings confirmed that political connection was positively related to social work organizations’ policy advocacy. Also, the positive effect between political connection and policy advocacy was moderated by executives’ specialization. Specifically, the positive effect between political connection and policy advocacy was more substantial when executives of social work organizations had a higher level of specialization. The results of this study enrich the empirical research on social work policy practice and provide a reference for the debate on political connection and policy advocacy.
