Based on a questionnaire inquiry among 30 community Party secretaries in a subdistrict，this study conducts an analysis of the working on the part of the community Party secretaries，through questionnaire inquiry and case review，using questionnaire data and centering around five aspects：individual features，community environment，working capability，resources for work and the status of on-the-job party members. The investigation finds that the overall status of community Party secretaries’ work is relatively satisfactory，but problems exist in the following six aspects：the function of community Party organization has been weakened；the position of the community Party secretaries is to some degree unstable；the community infrastructure needs to be improved；the capability of community Party secretaries has room for urgent improvement；there is gap in the collaboration and institutional resources；and there is a lack of supervisory mechanism over the grass-roots level Party organization and its members. In that context，the study proposes that：1） The shift of community Party organization from administrative role to that of a political party；2） Innovating a three-tier arrangement of the Party organization at the levels of community，the residential building or quarter/Hutong and residential building section，and integrating them with their corresponding autonomous organizations；3） Incorporating the team building of grass-roots Party secretaries into the overall planning of cadre and talent construction by implementing secretary “empowerment program”；4） fostering the establishment of related system for housing maintenance and administration；and 5） Constructing correlated constraint mechanism among Party members，their community and their working unit.
