“…Tailoring the mission and goals to fit the goals of individual member organizations has been found to increase the chance that members will support the partnership, contribute resources, and remain active participants over time (Rein and Morris 1962). One study of the relations among health care agencies found that the inability to identify a common goal hindered interagency cooperation (Levine, White, and Paul 1967). Evidence from communitybased partnerships indicates that having a well-defined mission and specific goals helps members to achieve a consensus and is associated with high levels of participation and community acceptance (Gamm, Rogers, and Work 1998;Phillips and Springer 1997;Wickizer, Wagner, and Cheadle 1998).…”

“…The community organization literature discusses several methods that partnerships can use to achieve domain consensus. Improving member organizations' awareness of the goals, functions, problems, and operating restrictions of other organizations in the partnership is a proven method of reducing conflict (Levine, White, and Paul 1967). By analyzing the domain differences among member organizations in the early stages of partnership development, CHP managers may be able to identify mechanisms that will reduce tensions and improve collaboration.…”

“…These gestures of solidarity provide evidence of how central the CHP is to the community. The literature suggests that CHPs that forge strong ties with the community and secure community-wide support will have a greater chance of obtaining the funding and resources necessary for long-run sustainability (Levine, White, and Paul 1967;Cheadle et al 1997;Leduc 1983). The concept of centrality, defined as the extent to which the CHP becomes institutionalized and pivotal to the life of the community, is not well developed in the literature, however.…”

The Governance and Management of Effective Community Health Partnerships: A Typology for Research, Policy, and Practice

Community health partnerships (CHPs) are voluntary collaborations of diverse community organizations that have joined forces in order to pursue a shared interest in improving community health. Although these cross‐sectoral collaborations represent a way to address social determinants of health and disease in society, they suffer from governance and management problems associated with interorganizational relationships in general and health care challenges specifically. A typology of effective governance and management characteristics provides a systematic, theoretically based way of addressing dimensions of governance and management and serves as a guide in constructing, maintaining, and measuring successful partnerships. It offers a multidisciplinary perspective for classifying important organizational issues, identifying barriers to successful development and sustainability, and facilitating the attainment of goals.

The concept of interorganizational field refers to the pattern of relationships or the context within which organizations negotiate or compete to accomplish their goals. This paper examines the proposition that the type of interorganizational field shapes and· influences interactions between organizations. To explore the nature of ~ny contextual effects, a hypothesis is extracted to represent each of four subareas of the literature: the transaction or exchange, the resource dependency, the communication, and.the division of labor subareas. Nonverification of the hypotheses indicates the extent and the manner in which jnterorganizational fields can affect relations between organizations.A case study of these hypotheses is presented for one type of interorganizational field, a federation of social service agencies.The federation includes eight organizations which delivered services • and an administrative component to facilitate interagency coordination.The data, which were gathered from project documents, monthly records,

The problem of interorganizational interaction was reviewed in terms of organizational structure and process, organizational size, and domain consensus between organizations. In order to determine the relationship between these factors and interorganizational interaction, interview data were gathered from personnel in a sample of 27 social service agencies. Cluster analysis results indicated a strong relationship between relationships of goal/task similarity and the degrees of interorganizational interaction reported by staff of these service agencies. There were negligible relationships between interorganizational relations, organization size, and internal organizational structures and processes, respectively. Conceptual and practical implications were discussed.
