The objectives of this study were three-fold: (1) to analyze the key factors influencing the government's social governance capacity; (2) to analyze the impact of these factors on government governance effectiveness in individual and combined states; (3) to propose optimization paths for enhancing local government's social governance capacity from the perspectives of technology, organization, and environment. The research was a quantitative. The study selected the governance capacities of 18 municipal governments in Henan Province as research samples and utilized the results of self-made social survey questionnaires as outcome variables. Six conditional variables were identified, with data sources for these variables being the number of internet broadband access ports, the number of legal entities in scientific research and technical services, general public budget revenue, the number of employees in public management, social security, and social organizations, population density, and per capita disposable income of resident families.
Major findings: After analyzing the sufficiency of condition configurations using FSQCA software, three path configurations were identified that explained high social governance capacity, namely "Technology-Environment Dual Drive Type," "Economic Drive Core Type," and "Technology-Environment Drive - Organizational Support Type." In terms of technology, a high level of innovation in science and technology was recognized as a core condition for two paths, highlighting the critical supporting role of technological innovation in urban government's social governance capacity. In terms of organization, sufficient "fiscal resource supply" served as a supportive condition for two paths, emphasizing the importance of providing adequate financial resources. Among environmental factors, "level of economic development" was confirmed as a core condition for all three paths, revealing its significant impact on urban government's social governance capacity. Finally, policy paths for enhancing government's social governance capacity were proposed from technological, organizational, and environmental aspects.
