“…Program ownership type has been well documented to relate to treatment program practices and service offerings (D'Aunno, 2006;Wells, Lemak, & D'Aunno, 2005;Wheeler, Fadel, & D'Aunno, 1992). Program-reported state authorization agency data were included because analyses conducted by the study team indicated that treatment program practices vary according to the type of state agency (i.e., substance abuse, public health, and mental health) responsible for authorizing the program.…”

This study examined relationships between state policy requirements governing outpatient substance abuse treatment services and reported outpatient treatment program practices. State policies effective as of February 1, 2003, and February 1, 2004, were collected and analyzed via primary legal research; data were validated by state officials (88% response rate; >90% validation rate). Treatment practice data were obtained from the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services for the years 2003 and 2004. Multivariate analyses clustered by state were conducted, controlling for state, program, and state-aggregated client admission characteristics. Results indicated that treatment programs located in states with requirements for comprehensive substance abuse assessment, family counseling, substance abuse and infectious disease/sexually transmitted disease testing services, HIV/AIDS education, and aftercare services had significantly higher odds of offering such services (p values ranging from < .05 to < .001). This study presents new information regarding the potential role that state policy context may play in understanding treatment program practices.

“…Specialized organizations are expected to be less likely to cooperate than are organizations with a broader activity scope (Wells et al 2005). The specialization dimension cuts across the dimensions above, although it is empirically related to the member benefit-public benefit distinction: the ''common good'' is a broader goal than the benefit of members, and public benefit organizations will therefore tend to be active in a broader array of fields than member benefit groups.…”

“…Third, considerations of efficiency lead organizations to establish ties to others in order to improve its input/output ratio, or at least appear to be trying to do so to funding third parties which see cooperation as beneficial to output (Wells et al 2005). Pooling of resources can improve efficiency on many counts.…”

The means, motives, and opportunity of cooperation must be present if organizations are to establish mutual ties. Public benefit and conflict oriented organizations are hypothesized to have stronger motives for cooperation than member benefit and consensus oriented groups, and organizations with broad activity scope are likely to face more opportunities of cooperation than specialized organizations. These hypotheses are strengthened by results from regression analyses. The article further shows a historical decline in both the motives and opportunities for such cooperation in the case of Norway through processes of depoliticization, individualization, and specialization. Thus, here, the preconditions for cooperation within organizational society are gradually deteriorating. Such developments are likely to weaken the interconnectedness of voluntary organizations and the potential micro, meso, and macro benefits of such ties.Résumé Les moyens, les motifs et les opportunités de la coopération doivent exister si les organisations établissent des liens mutuels. Le bien public et les organisations orientées vers le conflit ont, par hypothèse, plus de motifs pour la coopération que le bénéfice des membres et les groupes orientés vers le consensus; les organisations dont l'activité est étendue sont susceptibles de trouver davantage de coopération que les organisations spécialisées. Ces hypothèses sont renforcées par les résultats présentés par des analyses régressives. L'article montre de plus un déclin historique quant aux motifs et aux opportunités d'une telle organisation. Dans le cas de Norvège, à travers des processus de dépolitisation, d'individualisation et de spécialisation. Ainsi, ici, les préconditions de coopération au sein de la société organisationnelles sont graduellement détériorées. De tels développements sont susceptibles d'affaiblir l'absence d'interconnexion des organisations volontaires et des bénéfices potentiels micro, méso et macro de telles contraintes. Zusammenfassung Mittel, Motive und Gelegenheit zur Kooperation müssen gegeben sein, wenn Organisationen wechselseitige Bindungen aufbauen wollen. Es wird angenommen, dass gemeinnützige und konfliktorientierte Organisationen stärkere Motive für Kooperation haben als mitgliedernützige und konsensorientierte Gruppen und dass Organisationen mit einem breiten Aktivitätsfeld wahrscheinlich mehr Kooperationsmöglichkeiten haben als spezialisierte Organisationen. Diese Hypothesen werden von Resultaten aus Regressionsanalysen gestärkt. Der Artikel zeigt am Beispiel von Norwegen einen Rückgang von Motiven und Gelegenheiten für Kooperation durch Entpolitisierung, Individualisierung und Spezialisierung. Deshalb werden sich auch hier die Voraussetzungen für Kooperation innerhalb einer Organisationsgesellschaft fortschreitend verschlechtern. Solche Entwicklungen werden wahrscheinlich die Vernetzung von Freiwilligenorganisationen und den potentiellen Mikro-, Meso-und Makro-Nutzen solcher Bindungen schwächen.Resumen Si las organizaciones pretenden establecer nexos ...

“…Los estudios evidencian mayor cooperación en las áreas de servicio, debido a la percepción en la escasez de recursos -como mano de obra-y la necesidad de mantener una buena imagen de los servicios (Smith et al, 1995). En las áreas auxiliares, la cooperación es motivada también por la escasez de recursos, pero más de tipo financiero (Mark, 1985;Schermerhorn y Shirland, 1981;Wells, Lemark y d'Aunno, 2005).…”

El presente trabajo investiga las influencias que tienen las principales variables de la estructura organizacional sobre las relaciones inter-organizacionales de cooperación en Instituciones Prestadoras de Servicios de Salud (IPS) públicas de Colombia, mediante un estudio explicativo de corte trasversal aplicando un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales. Los resultados indican que la descentralización favorece el intercambio de información, la complementariedad de recursos y la congruencia de objetivos y valores, mientras que la formalización favorece solo el intercambio de información. Además se evidenció la incidencia positiva del intercambio de información y la congruencia de objetivos y valores sobre el desempeño de la relación inter-organizacional en términos de satisfacción.This paper investigates the influences that have the main variables of organizational structure on inter-organizational relations in health care public institutions in Colombia, through an explanatory cross-sectional study applying a structural equation model. The results indicate that decentralization promotes information exchange, resource complementarity and consistency of objectives and values, while the formalization favors only the exchange of information. Besides the positive impact of information exchange and matching of goals and values on the performance of inter-organizational relationship, in terms of satisfaction was evident
