In the final analysis, the corruption problem of leading cadres in party member is that the power supervision and restriction are not in place, and many violations of discipline and law begin "eight hours away" from the relative lack of supervision. Because the social circle, life circle and activity circle of party member cadres "beyond eight hours" are complex and hidden, it has become the key link to prevent corruption and the difficulty of supervision. Recently, the research team of the Commission for Discipline Inspection of Huizhou City, Guangdong Province conducted an investigation on the supervision and management of leading cadres "beyond eight hours" by means of online questionnaires and symposiums, analyzed the existing problems, and put forward countermeasures and suggestions.

Problems

Statistically, 13 cadres and people participated in this online questionnaire. Nearly 8% of the respondents think it is necessary to strengthen the "eight-hour supervision" of leading cadres; 12.5%, 16.41% and 28.91% of the respondents thought that the supervision work of leading cadres in this area beyond eight hours was "average", "poor" and "very poor". It can be seen that the contradiction between the continuous concern of all sectors of society for the supervision of leading cadres beyond eight hours and the difficulty in implementing, achieving results and breaking through the supervision beyond eight hours is becoming more and more prominent. Generally speaking, the supervision of leading cadres beyond eight hours is still weak, and some of them are even blank, mainly in the following four situations:

The scope of supervision is not clear enough. To carry out "beyond eight hours" supervision, we must first clarify the scope of supervision. However, at present, there is still a lack of unified understanding of "beyond eight hours" supervision in various places. What activities, places and elements outside working hours should be included in the scope of supervision, and it is unscientific and reasonable to simply divide them from time points. The supervision of leading cadres beyond eight hours should not only take into account its necessity and feasibility, but also take into account that leading cadres, as a national citizen, also have their normal social life and legitimate rights and interests under the law. At present, there is no standard to define the scope and content of supervision of leading cadres "beyond eight hours", which is difficult to operate in practical work.

the subject of supervision is not clear enough. For the supervision of leading cadres "beyond eight hours", who should be responsible and who should be the main body of supervision is not clearly defined. In actual work, all kinds of supervision forces are difficult to play their role. Although the supervision of superiors is great, it is difficult to supervise in most cases. The lower levels are secretive and dare not supervise; At the same level, most of them don't tear down the platform, and they are harmonious and unwilling to supervise; Discipline inspection and supervision organs, organizational departments and law enforcement organs, due to time and space constraints, it is difficult to grasp the activities of leading cadres and it is difficult to supervise them in place; Family members and people around them are closely related and do not supervise. According to the questionnaire survey, the masses generally approve of "mass supervision" and "news supervision by public opinion", reaching 92% and 88% respectively, but the durability and effectiveness of this supervision method need to be guaranteed.

the attitude of accepting supervision is not correct enough. For a long time, it is difficult to form a benign supervision atmosphere for the supervision of leading cadres "beyond eight hours" As a supervised person, the consciousness of accepting supervision is relatively lacking and the resistance is relatively strong. As supervisors, some people think that everyone has a circle of life and friends "eight hours away" out of pragmatic considerations, which is easy for supervisors to hurt their feelings and fear retaliation. Therefore, most people don't want to ask about things beyond eight hours, and even if they know something, they turn a blind eye.

the supervision measures are not strong enough. The supervision of leading cadres "beyond eight hours" is still not strong enough, and the work is lagging behind, which is mainly reflected in four aspects: First, the information is lagging behind. The supervision work should be carried out in depth. First of all, the information channels should be comprehensive and smooth. Many times, we don't grasp the key of "beyond eight hours", and we still focus on the work circle of leading cadres, ignoring that all kinds of signs tend to occur in the life circle and social circle, resulting in a "blind spot" in the collection of clues about violations of discipline and law. Second, the supervision method lags behind. At present, the methods and methods for the supervision of leading cadres "beyond eight hours" are not flexible enough, and they still stay in the traditional supervision thinking and methods, paying no attention to the innovation of supervision methods, and failing to combine the economic and social transition, the change of cadres' work and life style, and the expansion of the scope of activities, and the effect is not ideal. Third, the supervision system lags behind. At present, the supervision of leading cadres pays more attention to the work circle of cadres, but ignores the social circle and life circle. There is no set of operational supervision system or implementation rules for the supervision of "eight hours away". In the questionnaire survey, 45% of the respondents suggested the establishment of a mass reporting system, a mass reporting reward system, a mass appraisal system, and an irregular inspection system by discipline inspection and supervision organs and organizations. Fourth, preventive measures are lagging behind. The key point of "eight hours away" supervision lies in "prevention" However, at present, the supervision of leading cadres "beyond eight hours" still focuses on punishment after the incident. For example, in recent years, most cases of leading cadres' violation of discipline and law were discovered only after they were "sick" and were investigated only after problems occurred. The education and punishment before and during the violation of discipline and law were not implemented enough, and the prevention was not done enough, which made the supervision fall into a passive situation of "treating the headache and treating the foot".

countermeasures and suggestions

we believe that it is necessary to extend the supervision time and expand the supervision space for the supervision and management of leading cadres "beyond eight hours", but it is not a fundamental solution; It is necessary to purify the circle of friends, life and society of leading cadres, but it is not the key. These are just a necessary supplement to the daily supervision and management of leading cadres. In the final analysis, to standardize the use of power by leading cadres and prevent illegal activities such as power trading, power trading and power trading, we should start with the establishment of rules and regulations, or highlight key points, grasp key links and put power in the cage of the system.

highlight key objects. The supervision of leading cadres "beyond eight hours" should highlight the key points and grasp the key points. First, we should highlight the supervision of leading cadres in key positions. According to the questionnaire survey, 38.43% of the respondents believe that it is necessary to focus on strengthening the supervision and management of the "top leaders" of various units, as well as the deputy and middle-level cadres who have certain real power in key positions "beyond eight hours". Such leading cadres hold real power, and they are easily tempted by people with ulterior motives "eight hours away". It is necessary to organically combine supervision and management, heteronomy and self-discipline, and supervision within eight hours and outside eight hours. The second is to highlight the supervision of leading cadres with signs of sexual orientation. The survey results show that 3.97% of the respondents believe that it is necessary to focus on strengthening the prevention of such cadres "beyond eight hours". For leading cadres who show signs of violating discipline and law, if there are many complaints and reports from letters and visits, they are usually sluggish, keen on networking, and often absent from work, they should take timely talks to remind them to prevent the delay.

grasp the key links. In the questionnaire survey, 31.96% of the respondents believe that leading cadres are far away from units and organizations "eight hours away", and their life circle and social circle cover a wide range, with great mobility, large span in time and space, uncontrollable whereabouts and strong concealment and complexity. Therefore, in order to supervise leading cadres timely and effectively, we must grasp the weak links and highlight the key points of supervision. It is necessary to find a breakthrough from some important nodes and important periods and do the work ahead. First, important nodes are not spared. Most leading cadres can be honest and self-disciplined during their personal and family members' weddings, moving to new homes, their children's further studies, illness and hospitalization, birthdays and major holidays, and strictly demand themselves by party discipline and laws, and report important matters to the organization department at any time, but a few leading cadres may find it difficult to resist all kinds of temptations. Second, we will not let go during important periods. During their tenure, leading cadres are prone to violations of discipline and law, such as job promotion, general election, major personnel arrangement, being in charge of major construction projects, pre-implementation of procurement projects, handling of important cases and leading cadres' study and inspection abroad, and most of these behaviors are completed "eight hours away" by leading cadres, so it is particularly important to strengthen supervision in advance in these important periods. Third, important areas are not spared. The life circle and social circle of some leading cadres "eight hours away" cover a wide range and have great mobility, and they often go in and out of high-end hotels and restaurants, which are often the "hardest hit areas" with high incidence of corruption. According to the questionnaire, 13.8% of the respondents believe that the corruption of leading cadres "beyond eight hours" includes accepting meals from relevant units and personnel and high consumption of entertainment. Therefore, the supervision of leading cadres "beyond eight hours" cannot be spared in these important places.

enhance the joint efforts of supervision. We should give full play to the important roles of inner-party supervision, family supervision and social supervision by the masses, news media, other social organizations and people's organizations, and form a joint force of supervision. First, strengthen the internal supervision of the team and block the transfer of power to "eight hours away". Leading cadres should strengthen mutual supervision and consciously purify the "three edges and three circles" beyond eight hours: the family circle based on blood, the neighborhood circle based on geography and the circle of friends based on things. The second is to give play to the supervisory role of law enforcement departments. Strengthen the inspection and monitoring of entertainment places by public security departments, make unannounced visits to some "important places" mentioned above regularly and irregularly, understand the dynamics of leading cadres "eight hours away" in public places, find out the signs of violation of discipline in time, and do a good job in prevention. The third is to strengthen media supervision. It is necessary to make full use of traditional media such as radio, television and newspapers, as well as emerging online communication channels such as Weibo and WeChat, to expose violations of discipline and law by leading cadres "beyond eight hours" and increase the transparency of leading cadres' life beyond eight hours. At the same time, timely, properly and accurately announce the investigation and handling results of supervision and reporting to the public, and strive to strengthen the deterrent effect of supervision. The fourth is to mobilize mass supervision. The results of the questionnaire show that in the supervision method of leading cadres "beyond eight hours", the option with the highest vote rate is to strengthen the supervision of leading cadres by the masses, accounting for 26.36%. In addition, in improving the supervision system, the questionnaire results show that the top three options are: mass reporting system (16.61%), mass reporting reward system (15.3%) and mass appraisal system (13.99%). Therefore, it is suggested that relevant departments take the initiative to go deep into the grassroots to understand the actual situation of leading cadres "eight hours away". At the same time, you can set up a supervision report box, publish a report phone number, and actively encourage the masses to participate in supervision.

establish a long-term mechanism. 23.9% of the respondents believe that the current laws and regulations are still not perfect, and it is necessary to rely on the system to ensure supervision. Therefore, we should pay more attention to the establishment of a long-term supervision mechanism for leading cadres "beyond eight hours". First, strengthen the supervision of the masses on leading cadres. Establish a reward system for mass appraisal and reporting, fully mobilize the masses and rely on them to supervise the activities of leading cadres "beyond eight hours". The second is to establish a reporting system for out-of-town activities. Leading cadres should go out on business trips or private affairs, and report their activities to relevant departments or leaders in a timely manner. The third is to establish an education and training system of "honest and helpful". Regularly hold training courses on "helping the family with honesty", strengthen the clean government education for the families of leading cadres, improve their ideological quality and establish a good family style. The fourth is to improve the accountability mechanism for punishment. In the questionnaire survey, 28.91% think that the most effective way to prevent and control the corruption of leading cadres beyond eight hours is to rely on punishment to deter and increase the illegal cost of leading cadres beyond eight hours. Party member cadres who violate the provisions of clean government should be strictly investigated and punished. At the same time, it is suggested that strict accountability should be implemented. If there is a problem in this department or unit, the main leaders and team members should find it but not find it, or if they fail to stop correcting it after discovery, they must be held accountable accordingly.
