“…Professional affiliation or networking has been found to shape physicians' value and ideology about their professional service (e.g., Del Gaudio, Stein, Ansley, & Carpenter, 1975;Roback, Purdon, Ochoa, & Bloch, 1993). While city managers and physicians are in distinctly different professions, it is reasonable to assume that networking with other professionals in the same profession can shape participants' cognition, attitudes, and behaviors regardless of the specific profession (DiMaggio & Powell, 1989).…”

Much of the literature on citizen participation in the budget process links the council-manager form of government with higher levels of citizen participation, assuming the council-manager form represents professional administration. This is contradictory to the reality that different forms of government have "borrowed" features from each other and many now have mixed forms of government (i.e., adapted). The literature also contains ambiguities about city managers' role in participatory budgeting. We review the literature and identify three competing theories about the role of professional managers in the budget process. We directly examine the effect of city managers in terms of their professional dimensions, institutional environment, and individual willingness to represent citizens. Using survey data from Florida, we demonstrate that managers' professionalism, perceived political environment, and attitude toward citizen input are important factors explaining local governments' adoption of participatory budgeting.

The community mental health ideologies of groups composed of professional and nonprofessional mental health service providers were measured by use of the Baker-Schulberg Community Mental Health Ideology (CMHI) Scale. The study was designed to: (1) compare current CMHI scores with the original criterion scores of mental health workers, (2) compare CMHI scores of mental health workers from different disciplines who work in the same community mental health setting, and (3) measure CMHI scores for reviously nonreported workers, ministers, and board and care operators. Results o f t h e present study indicate that CMHI scores had not changed from the criterion scores over a series of studies, and that score consistency is such that the scale appears to be a reliable discriminatory tool. Contrary to previously reported findings, psychiatrists scored as high as other mental health professionals in the system, and no significant difference was found between disciplines within the piofessional roup The paraprofessional roup, however, ranked significantly lower than the professional group. Clerical a n d administrative staff, and board and care operators had CMHI scores that were significantly lower than all other study groups. Interestingly, the minister group had a mean score higher than all other groups studied. Our findings suggest that the CMHI Scale differentiates, not only between disciplines of mental health workers who work in the same setting, but also between groups of human services providers in the community.
