Collaboration and Culture: Organizational Culture and the Dynamics of Collaborative Policy Networks

This paper presents a theory of the role of culture in collaborative policy networks. It builds on the literature that analyzes the factors related to the formation, maintenance, and dissolution of collaborative arrangements by demonstrating the importance of hitherto undertheorized cultural factors. Cultural theory indicates that actors with different cultural viewpoints have distinct and predictable biases in terms of their expectations of collaboration and their preferences concerning how collaborative policy networks are structured. These biases, in turn, shape how collaborative partners are chosen and how collaborative relationships are maintained over time. The theory is illustrated with a case study of the rise and dissolution of a coalition within a housing policy network in Los Angeles. The case illustrates that cultural differences can impede collaboration even when organizations share similar policy goals.     

Bridging and Bonding Capital in Two‐Mode Collaboration Networks

Public management and policy scholars have empirically demonstrated that in complex policy arenas, governments depend on the collaboration of policy actors outside their direct control to produce needed goods and services. Government‐sponsored shared‐cost programs are one of the premier mechanisms to foster such cooperation, yet little is known about the inner patterns of participation in such programs and whether they are conditional on specific resource needs that partners may have. In this article, I study the participation of organizations in projects seeking funds from the Cooperative Funding Initiative, a program sponsored by the Southwest Florida Water Management District that finances projects dealing with the management of water resources. Through the estimation of a series of Exponential Random Graph Models in the networks that form when organizations participate in projects (two‐mode networks), I show that centralization around popular organizations results in greater bridging network capital, which facilitates the flow of nonoverlapping information from project to project. I analyze the implications of these findings and discuss how the formation of these bridging structures may enhance the capacity of the program to find innovative solutions to the problems the projects are designed to deal with.     

饭店业组织职业生涯管理对员工职业承诺及职业能力影响效果研究

本文旨在探讨饭店业组织职业生涯管理对员工职业承诺及职业能力的影响作用。研究表明,饭店职业生涯管理对员工的职业承诺有正向影响。在饭店职业生涯管理的三个维度中,职业考评对职业承诺的贡献率最大,其次为职业培训和职业发展。同时,职业承诺与职业能力之间存在肯定的正向关系,积极影响着“知道为什么”、“知道谁”、“知道如何做”三种职业能力。     

中日全面战争后的在日华侨、印侨网络

以近代日本在成为亚洲主权国家过程中经济方面的经历为线索,将居住在神户的华侨和印侨作为研究对象,探讨了华侨通商网络在20世纪30年代得以扩展、1940年后衰退的原因;简述了30年代起印侨通商网络的显著发展;揭示了欧洲近代帝国主义的本质与亚洲华侨、印侨通商网络的形成与扩展间的密切关系。     

求新动机、满意度对重游间隔意愿的影响——以凤凰古城旅游者为例

由于重游所带来的经济利益日益凸显,使得重游问题受到学界的广泛关注。本研究以湖南凤凰古城为案例地,采用问卷调查获得基础数据,建立结构方程模型从求新动机、满意度两个方面考究旅游者重游间隔意愿的形成机制。研究发现,在凤凰古城这样的快速发展旅游地,求新动机会直接影响旅游者的短期重游意愿,但对中期、长期重游意愿则没有显著的直接影响,同时求新动机会对满意度产生积极的影响。     

基于管理熵与RFID的九寨沟游客高峰期“时空分流”导航管理模式研究

九寨沟旅游高峰期游客时空分布不均,直接造成三个方面的负面影响。一是各界对九寨沟景区严格实行游客限量的诉求增强,二是景区生态环境保护压力加大,三是游客满意度降低。本文在管理熵理论的指导下,拟采用RFID、eB和3S等信息技术,在时间和空间两个维度上对景区游客进行科学分流设计,建立游客高峰期时空分流导航管理模型,以期降低景区景点瞬时负荷,均衡游客时空分布,同步实现景区游客容量增加、环境保护水平提升、游客满意度增大三个目的。
