Doing it their Way: Organizational Challenges for Voluntary Associations
本文提出志愿协会面临的五大组织挑战，包括平衡长期目标与成员需求、会员利益与公共利益、应对竞争利益、控制志愿者以及整合带薪员工，强调其与官僚化服务机构的区别，呼吁专门研究。
Nonprofit scholars have generally paid little attention to the organizational features of voluntary associations. This article starts to fill this gap in nonprofit scholarship. It proposes five key challenges of associational organization: meeting long-term goals and individual member's needs, balancing member-benefit and public-benefit goals, setting priorities in the face of competing interests, controlling member volunteers, and integrating paid staff. The article suggests that voluntary associations are conceptually and organizationally distinguish able from the bureaucratic service-delivering agencies of the broader nonprofit sector and merit specific research attention to build descriptive data and specialist theory.
