考虑到协作所固有的挑战和取得可衡量成果所需的时间，伙伴关系需要有办法在早期阶段确定它们是否充分利用了协作。作者开发了一种新的衡量标准，伙伴关系协同效应，它评估伙伴关系的合作过程成功地将参与者的观点、知识和技能结合在一起的程度。本文报告了一项全国性研究的结果，该研究旨在考察伙伴关系协同效应与伙伴关系运作的六个维度之间的关系：领导力、行政和管理、伙伴关系效率、非财务资源、伙伴参与挑战和与社区相关的挑战。数据来自63个伙伴关系中的8 15名举报人。对伙伴关系层面数据进行回归分析的结果表明，伙伴关系协同效应与领导效能和伙伴关系效率的关系最为密切。讨论了这些发现对研究和实践的影响。
Considering the challenges inherent to collaboration and the time it takes to achieve measurable outcomes, partnerships need a way to determine, at an early stage, whether they are making the most of collaboration. The authors have developed a new measure, partnership synergy, which assesses the degree to which a partnership's collaborative process successfully combines its participants' perspectives, knowledge, and skills. This article reports the results of a national study designed to examine the relationship between partnership synergy and six dimensions of partnership functioning: leadership, administration and management, partnership efficiency, nonfinancial resources, partner involvement challenges, and community-related challenges. Data were collected from 8 15 informants in 63 partnerships. Results of regression analysis conducted with partnership-level data indicated that partnership synergy was most closely related to leadership effectiveness and partnership efficiency. Implications of these findings for research and practice are discussed.
