Abstract:

On the basis of briefly reviewing relevant researches on third-party evaluation, this paper adopts a single case analysis to analyze and reflect on the possession and allocation of the control right of third-party evaluation among stakeholders in different stages of the evaluation. In the beginning stage, the third-party evaluating agency and the evaluated agency usually do not have a clear evaluation goal, which is continually clarified and formulated in the implementing stage. In the fixation of evaluation index, the evaluation index system has some eclecticism and compromise. In the implementation of evaluation, the third-party evaluating agency acquires part of the control right of the evaluated agency through contract of government purchasing evaluation service, but such control right is not strictly supervised. When the opacity and transparency of related evaluation information is limited, their relationship is in discordance because of their different pursuits. In the stage of evaluation result release, control right of the evaluation is basically in the hands of entrusting party and the third-party agency. In the end, it raises the question of distributive justice about control right of evaluation in third-party evaluation mechanism, and suggests it is imperative to promote the public participation and build an incentive and restraint mechanism for the evaluation of social service to prevent the loss of efficacy of third-party evaluation.

Key words: the third-party evaluation, control right of evaluation, evaluation standard, evaluation effectiveness
