本文介绍了组织间网络，或系统，在美国四个城市的心理健康服务的比较研究的结果，导致网络有效性的初步理论。从调查、访谈、文件和观察中收集了大量数据。网络的有效性进行了评估，收集和汇总数据的结果，从样本的客户，他们的家庭，他们的个案经理在每个网站。从个人、组织和网络层面收集的定量和定性数据的分析结果表明，网络有效性可以用各种结构和背景因素来解释，具体而言，网络整合、外部控制、系统稳定性和环境资源丰富性。基于这些发现，我们提出了可检验的命题，以指导网络有效性的理论发展和未来研究。
This paper presents the results of a comparative study of interorganizational networks, or systems, of mental health delivery in four U.S. cities, leading to a preliminary theory of network effectiveness. Extensive data were collected from surveys, interviews, documents, and observations. Network effectiveness was assessed by collecting and aggregating data on outcomes from samples of clients, their families, and their case managers at each site. Results of analyses of both quantitative and qualitative data collected at the individual, organizational, and network levels of analysis showed that network effectiveness could be explained by various structural and contextual factors, specifically, network integration, external control, system stability, and environmental resource munificence. Based on the findings, we develop testable propositions to guide theory development and future research on network effectiveness.
