“…This finding supports Giddens’ (, p. 33) argument about the value of a ‘reflexive monitoring of action’, which facilitates ongoing assessment of behaviour and context in order to prevent or minimise the impact of potential threats. These findings also align with the findings of a recent review article by Ran and Qi (). Ran and Qi () emphasise the importance of sharing control and authority as part of collaborative governance arrangements.…”

“…Recognition of the value of joined‐up government approaches has stimulated some empirical research and practice‐based reflections on the elements that facilitate cooperation between different sectors of government. Trust has been consistently identified over at least the past three decades as an important enabling factor (see Danaher, ; Lane & Bachmann, ; McKnight & Chervany, ; McQueen, ; Ran & Qi, ; Smith, Carroll, & Ashford, ). Despite recognition of the importance of trust, there is only now emerging attention devoted to detailed analysis of the ‘complexities’ involved in developing and maintaining trust across sectors (e.g.…”

“…Judgements of trust often inspire particular courses of action (Edelenbos & Klijn, ). Trust may underpin a positive belief in the motives of another, stimulating progression and cooperation (Carnwell & Carson, ; Ran & Qi, ). Compromised trust may motivate vigilance, suspicion and an unwillingness to cooperate (Levi & Stoker, ).…”

The role of trust in joined‐up government activities: Experiences from Health in All Policies in South Australia

et al. 2019

Trust has been consistently identified as an important enabling factor for joined‐up government activity to generate strong, integrated and effective social policy. Despite this, there has been comparatively little detailed analysis of the complexities and dynamics involved. This paper provides a detailed examination of how trust is built, nurtured and, in some instances, lost during joined‐up policy activity. It draws on interview and survey data that reveal the dynamics of relationships formed under the South Australian Health in All Policies initiative. The research extends the parameters of organisational analyses of trust. Previous typologies are mostly descriptive, with limited explanatory power, typically focusing on individuals and institutions separately rather than integrating these foci to consider how trust operates within whole systems. By integrating Giddens’ theoretical perspectives on trust with existing typologies, the paper generates understanding about how trust operates as a resource within non‐traditional joined‐up government working relationships, serving to bridge the gap between the known and unknown, and acting as a productive resource to stimulate action within government systems that are perceived to feature high levels of risk. A model is provided to explain the interrelated dynamics of trust building, maintenance, monitoring and repair.

This study examined mechanism for promoting collaborative behaviour among organizational participants with Evidence of Alex Ekwueme Federal University Teaching Hospital Abakaliki (AE-FETHA 1). The purpose was to; determine the outcomes of collaborative behaviours of employees on the attainment of corporate goals, explore how collaborative behaviours of employees influence the settlement of conflict in the workplace and assess how collaborative behaviour of employees in the work place can foster participation of employees in organization decision processes. The study adopted descriptive survey research design with an interpretivist philosophy, 64 questionnaires were distributed while 50 were retrieved from the respondents sampled population. Data were presented using simple percentage method and hypotheses were tested using Pearson Product correlation analysis. The findings revealed that there is a relationship between collaborative behaviours of employees and the attainment of corporate goals. It was also revealed that there is a relationship between collaborative behaviours of employees and the settlement of conflict in organizations. It was equally showed that there is no relationship between collaborative behaviour of employees and the participation of employees on organization decision processes. Based on this, it was recommended that management of organization should encourage team work practice among employees. Also, management of organization should always communicate the goals of the organization to employees and ensure practice participative management.

Drivers of consensus‐based decision‐making in international environmental regimes: Lessons from the Southern Ocean

The global environmental crisis (characterized by declines in biodiversity, transboundary pollution, habitat degradation, and climate change) has inspired international environmental regimes, such as the Convention for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), to establish large‐scale networks of marine protected areas (MPAs) in areas beyond national jurisdiction. The Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica comprises roughly 10% of the global ocean and plays a crucial role in regulating global climate and marine ecosystems. Although the Antarctic marine environment currently remains one of the most intact on Earth, it is threatened by fishery expansion and a rapidly changing climate. In response, CCAMLR has been developing a representative network of MPAs to sustain ecosystem structure and function, protect areas vulnerable to human activities, and conserve biodiversity. Whereas significant research has focused on the role of formal mechanisms and state power in international environmental regimes, very little is known about the role of non‐state actors and informal approaches, particularly in the negotiation of agreements to establish large‐scale networks of MPAs. Case analysis of the 2016 Ross Sea Region MPA agreement reveals that CCAMLR is undergoing a significant period of learning and institutional evolution, as actors seek novel ways to negotiate a network of Southern Ocean MPAs. Key drivers of consensus include external political dynamics, internal leadership and group dynamics, and shared concern for the future of CCAMLR and Antarctic MPAs. Actors also rely on informal principles of negotiation (such as increasing transparency, developing trust, and engaging in dialogue) to fill institutional gaps in both CCAMLR's formal structure and the current process for developing and negotiating MPAs. As environmental threats grow in complexity and scale, non‐state actors and informal negotiations will become increasingly critical to support the ongoing success of formal international institutions dedicated to protecting the ecological integrity and function of the global environment.
