Equal rights to rent and purchase affects the supply of compulsory education resources. How to promote the balanced compulsory education resources supply in the context of equal rights to rent and purchase is currently a hot issue amongst government and society. To achieve such balance, conducting research in the context of equal rights to rent and purchase becomes crucial. However, existing research has yet to provide sufficient explanations for the differentiated paths for realizing the balanced compulsory education resources supply in practice. This study uses 31 cities in China as case samples and jointly applies fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis and the 'technology-organization-environment' (TOE) framework. The findings are summarized as follows. Firstly, the balanced compulsory education resources supply in the context of equal rights to rent and purchase is affected by six key technological, organizational, and environmental factors. Namely, data co-construction and sharing, technological infrastructure, attention allocation, government information disclosure, policy support for equal rights to rent and purchase, and level of urban economic development. Secondly, the linkage matching of technological, organizational and environmental conditions forms diversified configurations that drive the balanced compulsory education resources supply in the context of equal rights to rent and purchase. These configurations include the 'organization' driving model, 'technology-environment' driving model, 'technology-organization-environment' driving model, and 'technology-organization' driving model. Finally, eastern, central and western China are driven by different configuration paths. Amongst them, eastern China has relatively good basic conditions at the technological, organizational and environmental levels. The combination of different conditions can drive the balanced compulsory education resources supply in a 'different paths lead to the same destination' manner. Although the development in central China is somewhat restricted, the radiation and impetus from eastern China, in combination with the different conditions in central China, can drive the balanced compulsory education resources supply. Western China shows no advantages at the technological, organizational and environmental levels. Faced with restrictions in organizational and environmental conditions, the government in western China should develop the necessary technological conditions to drive the balanced compulsory education resources supply.
平等的租购权影响义务教育资源的供给。如何在租购同权背景下促进义务教育资源的均衡供给，是当前政府和社会关注的热点问题。实现这种平衡，进行租购同权背景下的研究至关重要。然而，现有研究尚未为实践中实现义务教育资源均衡供给的差异化路径提供充分的解释。本研究以中国 31 个城市为案例样本，联合应用模糊集定性比较分析和“技术-组织-环境”（TOE）框架。研究结果总结如下：首先，租购同权背景下义务教育资源的均衡供给受到数据共建共享、技术基础设施、关注分配、政府信息公开、租购同权政策支持、城市经济发展水平等六个关键技术、组织和环境因素的影响。其次，技术、组织和环境条件的联动匹配形成了多样化的配置，推动了租购同权背景下义务教育资源的均衡供给。这些配置包括“组织”驱动模式、“技术-环境”驱动模式、“技术-组织-环境”驱动模式和“技术-组织”驱动模式。最后，东、中、西部地区的驱动路径不同。其中，东部地区在技术、组织和环境层面具有较好的基础条件。不同条件的组合可以以“殊途同归”的方式推动义务教育资源的均衡供给。中部地区的发展虽然受到一定限制，但东部地区的辐射和带动，结合中部地区的不同条件，也能推动义务教育资源的均衡供给。西部地区在技术、组织和环境层面均不具备优势。面对组织和环境条件的限制，西部地区政府应发展必要的技术条件，推动义务教育资源的均衡供给。
