“…Further, resource mobilization theory states that the goal is to achieve some collective good because the benefit is collective. Besides this interest and mobilization, resource mobilization theorists have been deeply interested in organizational survival and change over time as part of the organization's success (Golhasani & Hosseinirad, 2016).…”

The study investigated the practicability of fundraising used by heads of schools in mobilizing physical resources in public secondary schools in Hai District. The study was guided by one research question. Convergent research design under a mixed methods approach was employed. The study anchored on Resource Mobilization theory. The targeted population was 1 District Secondary Education Officer, 624 teachers, and 31 heads of schools in public secondary schools in Hai District. Probability and non-probability sampling techniques were used to select 124 Teachers, 6 Heads of School and 1 DSEO, making a total of 131 respondents. Data were collected through Questionnaires, interview guides and document analysis guides. Validation of instruments was done by three research experts from Mwenge Catholic University. The reliability of quantitative data collection instruments was ensured through Cronbach alpha for Likert-type items where the coefficient determined was 0.7, hence acceptable for data collection. Credibility of qualitative data collection instruments such as interview guides and document analysis guides was ensured through triangulation. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics to generate percentages, frequencies and means scores. Qualitative data from the interview guide was organized and analyzed thematically. The study found fundraising to be an essential strategy to bridge resource gaps, improve the availability of physical resources, and common strategies for mobilizing physical resources in public secondary schools. The study recommends that teachers and heads of schools strengthen teamwork in conducting fundraising for the mobilization of physical resources.

“…Sebagaimana (Sukmana, 2016) mengatakan bahwa jika negara kuat dan represif, maka gerakan sosial akan sulit mencapai tujuannya, sehingga dalam teori mobilisasi sumber daya berpandangan bahwa keberadaan struktur pemerintah menentukan akses kelompok terhadap sumberdaya masyarakat. Sehingga, teori ini juga berfokus pada bagaimana aktor sosial yang rasional terlibat dan melihat peluang yang ada dari proses politik (Edwards & Gillham, 2013;Golhasani & Hosseinirad, 2016). Aktor JURNAL SOCIUS sosial yang melakukan gerakan sosial disini juga sering dilihat sebagai bagian kelompok yang terpinggirkan dalam masyarakat memobilisasi secara efektif "ketersediaan" sumber daya dan mengaksesnya untuk mengejar tujuan perubahan sosial yang mereka inginkan (Edwards & Gillham, 2013).…”

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis gerakan sosial yang dilakukan oleh organisasi Aliran Kebatinan Perjalanan (AKP), dalam memperjuangkan pengakuan keyakinan mereka di Indonesia. Masalah ini menarik karena, Mahkamah Konstitusi saat ini telah memberikan layanan kependudukan dan pencatatan sipil pada para penghayat kepercayaan untuk mengisi kolom agama sesuai dengan keyakinan dan kepercayaannya sesuai yang diatur di dalam Surat Keputusan MK No. 97/PUU-XIV/2016. Hal ini merupakan bukti dari keberhasilan kelompok aliran kepercayaan memperjuangkan keyakinannya dan melepaskan diri dari 6 agama yang dipaksakan oleh negara. Salah satu organisasi aliran kepercayaan yang aktif memperjuangkan hak beragama dan keyakinannya adalah organisasi Aliran Kebatinan Perjalanan yang ada di Kota Bandung. Perjuangan dan keberhasilan tersebut memperlihatkan adanya gerakan sosial yang terorganisir agar tujuan yang diinginkan organisasi Aliran Kebatinan Perjalanan tercapai. Artikel ini menganalisis hal tersebut dengan menggunakan Teori mobilisasi sumber daya (Resources Mobilisation Theory) Anthony Oberschall sebagai pisau analisis dalam artikel ini. Artikel ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan Teknik observasi, wawancara, dan studi literatur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembentukan organisasi AKP merupakan wujud dari gerakan sosial. Sedangkan keberhasilan organisasi AKP ditentukan dari pemaksimalan berbagai sumber daya organisasi AKP baik secara internal maupun eksternal. Salah satu faktor terbesar dari keberhasilan gerakan sosial AKP adalah kemampuan dalam memobilisasi sumber daya dengan baik dan pemanfaatan peluang politik yang dilakukan oleh organisasi ini

“…Thus, although it has contributed to a great deal of valuable research, it is still a 'partial' theory. Some critics also argue that resource mobilisation theory does not explain how groups with limited resources can successfully bring about social change, and that it does not give sufficient attention to individual grievances, identity and culture, as well as many macro-sociological issues (Golhasani and Hosseinirad, 2017).…”

Resource mobilisation theory provides an important theoretical perspective and rational analytical paradigm for interpreting social movements, and can better answer the basic logic and motives of people's participation in social movements. This article will firstly introduce the basic concepts and development of resource mobilisation theory, research directions and research dimensions.The second part will introduce the explanatory power of the theory in the context of specific social movements, such as the Occupy Wall Street movement in the US and the Arab Spring movement in Tunisia and Egypt. This article will critically analyse resource mobilisation theory in relation to the various schools of thought. Finally, we will conclude that although it ignores certain irrational and macro factors and does not constitute a unified theoretical system, resource mobilisation theory represents a major advance in our understanding of socialmovements and still has great potential in its own right.
