Those Whose Courses are Different Cannot Lay Plans for One Another? —A Research of How “Morality” has Effect on Animal Protection Contract-out Affairs’ Feasibility

過往許多研究者對於政府業務委外抱持著非常樂觀的態度，認為地方政府若能採取委外的協力機制，將能創造政府與民間的信任感及社區意識，進而解決地區產生的問題與困境。然而，委外畢竟還是一種委託人／代理人的關係，過去學界已然透過許多實證案例證明委外過程中的代理人困境。但即便如此，在研究委外失敗案例的諸多實證研究中，政府與委外者間因倫理道德認知差異而產生的委外失敗分析，尚付之闕如。爰此，筆者乃透過地方政府動物保護政策的委外經驗，說明在目前委外研究所採取的主流研究途徑，包括信任理論、代理人理論以外，尚存在「道德政策理論」的觀點，由此展開委外可行性的多元理論，並進一步對政策實務提出建議。

Many researchers take a very optimistic view about public affairs contract-out. They think the dilemma in local governments and communities can be solved by trust and sense of community from contract-out mechanism. However, contract-out relationship after all is a principal-agent relationship and it has been proved very questionable by many empirical failure cases. Nevertheless, there is no study mentioned failure cases about moral and ethical difference between government and agents. Therefore, using local governmental animal protection experience as the illustrations, I explain that besides mainstream research approach like trust theory and agent theory, there is another theory called morality policy theory can be used to analysis animal protection contract-out affairs. Through that, we can extend multiple contract-out feasible theories and make some recommendations for policy practices.
