Facilitating conditions for boundary-spanning behaviour in governance networks
研究了城市治理网络中两种促进边界跨越行为的条件：促进型项目管理风格和高层支持，发现前者直接促进边界跨越，后者通过前者间接起作用。
This article examines the impact of two facilitating conditions for boundary-spanning behaviour in urban governance networks. While research on boundary spanning is growing, there is little attention for antecedents. Combining governance network literature on project management and organizational literature on facilitative and servant leadership, we examine two potential conditions: a facilitative project management style and executive support. We conducted survey research among project managers involved in urban governance networks in order to test these relationships. We found positive relationships between facilitative project management and boundary-spanning behaviour, while executive support indirectly, via facilitative management, contributed to boundary-spanning behaviour.
