“…Since the advent of New Public Management, service contracting has dominated how local and state governments interact with nonprofit organizations, especially in human services (Fabricant & Fisher, 2002;Gazley & Brudney, 2007;Salamon, 1995;Sandfort, 1999;Smith, 2010). Despite the premise that, as a third sector, nonprofits complement public sector insufficiencies (Kramer, 2000), scholars have questioned the effectiveness of the contracting regime in building a genuine relationship between the government and nonprofits. In particular, the existing contracting regime may continue to systematically marginalize certain communities.…”

“…van Til, 2000). It is not homogeneous, and its boundaries are becoming increasingly blurrier (Billis, 1993;van Til, 2000;Kramer, 2000;Knutsen, 2016). In this context, it might be worth referring to P. Hall (1992), for whom the so-called third sector was an artifactic construct, not an institutional reality.…”

The rise of social cooperatives can be related to the blurring of boundaries between sectors in the modern economy and the creation of hybrid organizations, which combine different rationalities in their activities. Despite the defined legal form, they can still express their organizational iden-tity in a variety of ways -adopt a more social or a more market orientation. One of the forms of expression of organizational identity is a declaration of mission, which includes, among others, basic values.The aim of the article is to: a) identify the types of mission statements in Polish social coopera-tives; b) identify the values contained in the mission statements of Polish social cooperatives; c) determine whether the identity of an enterprise, social organization or mutual-support group prevails in Polish social cooperatives.For the purposes of the research, the contents of the missions of social cooperatives registered in Poland were analysed. 99 missions were identified and analysed using the IRAMUTEQ program. At a later stage, an invitation to participate in the survey was sent out to the 99 social cooperatives whose missions were being researched. The invite was addressed to the managers.The conducted analyses point to the existence of three main elements in the identity of Polish social cooperatives. The first, and the most developed one, is a social element related to the organ-ization's orientation towards solidarity and its responsibility for the work and social integration of persons at risk of social exclusion, focus on beneficiaries and on their comprehensive service. This identity is related to high prioritization of such value as education. The second exposed element of identity is related to economic activity. The organizations in question see themselves as enterprises that should provide high-quality products and focus on customer satisfaction. This identity is related to values such as professionalism and work engagement, focus on employees and work safety. Matters related to business growth and competition, as well as values such as research and development, growth, product superiority, focus on competitors or company success are much less exposed. The third, least exposed area

“…As a common European characteristic of the post-trente glorieuses, a neoliberal development of the welfare state started to emerge in the late 1970s, although with different degrees of intensity. The European welfare state has been implemented increasingly through the intervention of both forprofit-seeking and not-for-profit private actors, who have deployed their services in a range of combinations with public authorities, either complementing or partially or totally replacing them (Evers, 1995;Kramer, 2000).…”

The Role of Civil Society in the Labour Market Integration of Migrants in Europe: An Introduction

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper serves as an introduction to a special issue that discusses the role of civil society in the labour market integration of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers in six European countries: the Czech Republic, Finland, Greece, Italy, Switzerland and the UK. The paper presents a typology of civil society’s involvement in migrant labour integration—a policy-contested field—based on the relationship between non-profit and public sector organisations. Such ideal-type models are traditional public administration delivery, co-management, co-production with a partial or non-existent role for public sector organisations, and full co-production. In the six countries covered by the special issue, the existing relationship between the public sector and the civil society sector is affected by the specific social, cultural and economic contexts that underpin both their labour markets and welfare states. Although one model predominates in each of the six countries, in different ways and with different mechanisms, in all of them there is a trend towards the development of coproduction whereby the state plays either a central or a residual role.
