本研究以地方政府公法人（直轄市、縣市、鄉/鎮/市、原住民自治區）為分析單位，以政治市場理論架構為基礎，探討影響地方政府採用節能誘因行動的影響因素為何，並將相關潛在因素分為政治市場需求面與政府組織供給面兩類，前者指涉地方政府對公民與不同團體支持度的感知，後者則指地方政府政策行動面的因素，包括政策優先性、政策合作、政策學習、補助資源及人力資源。本研究以普查方式針對地方政府公法人進行問卷調查，母體數量為226，實際回收156份問卷，回覆率69.03%，並以結構方程式模型（Structural Equation Modeling, SEM）分析各變項的路徑影響效果。研究發現，屬於需求面因素的公民與團體支持度感知，對節能誘因機制的採用有直接與間接的影響力，而供給面因素中，除了節能政策優先性對節能誘因機制的採用無直接影響力之外，其他因素諸如與別的地方政府節能政策合作、政策學習、執行節能政策的人力資源與補助資源，皆對政策採用有幫助。

Starting from the political market framework, this research analyzes the factors influencing local government adoption of energy saving incentive mechanisms. The analytical unit is local municipal government (including special municipalities, counties, cities, townships, county-administered cities, and the self-government matters of mountain indigenous districts). The hypothesized factors are categorized into 1) the demand-side variables of the market consumers and 2) the supply-side variables of governmental machines. The former could be the perception of policy preference of local citizens and interest groups. The later could be the observed factors relevant to local government policy actions-including policy priority, interlocal collaboration, policy diffusion, financial resource and human resource. General survey is conducted with the population=226 municipalities. The total observation N=156 and the responsive rate=69.03%. The authors employs structural equation models to examine the path effect among the variables. Research findings indicate that the perception of market demands for the energy saving movement directly and indirectly influences the adoption of the incentive mechanisms in local governments. In the supply side, except the priority of energy policies, other factors including interlocal collaboration, policy diffusion, financial and human resource could generate a significant effect on the adoption of the incentive mechanisms.
