Preconditions of coordination in regional public organizations
研究了个人信念、人际关系和纵向信任如何影响区域公共组织的协调活动与结果，对公共管理者理解协调成败的深层原因有帮助。
Involving several levels ranging from policy-making to service delivery, the coordination of regional public organizations is a complex matter. This paper explores how relational preconditions affect regional public organizations' coordination activities and outcomes. A model is developed that links relational preconditions to coordination outcomes. Even though the coordination mechanisms and instruments are used, the coordination outcome might vary based on the individuals and the relationships among individuals. This study suggests that the use of coordination mechanisms and in turn coordination outcome, is affected by the individuals' personal beliefs and personal relationships as well as trust in the vertical organization.
