本文提供了一个理论框架来研究导致多目的混合志愿组织出现的条件以及影响其调动资源和争取承诺的能力的因素。这些组织具有四个相互关联的特点：（a）它们的使命是维护和促进文化价值，这些价值通常与占主导地位的和体制化的价值不同;（B）它们向成员和公众提供服务，表达其独特的价值，并将这些服务作为社会变革的模式和催化剂;（c）除了其工具性目标外，它们还旨在通过促进集体认同来满足其成员的表达和社会认同需要;以及（d）它们通过拥有多个业务而演变成混合型组织--在不同程度上结合了价值变革的目标，提供服务和互助。因为他们故意联合收割机的志愿者运行的协会，社会运动和非营利服务组织的特点，我们阐明了一个理论框架，融合的概念和主张，从各种理论角度来研究这些组织形式。我们认为，扩展的理论框架提供了一个更全面和动态的公民社会和第三部门组织的研究提供了一个更好的视角。
The paper offers a theoretical framework to study the conditions that lead to the emergence of multi-purpose hybrid voluntary organizations and the factors that influence their ability to mobilize resources and enlist commitment. These organizations are characterized by four interrelated attributes: (a) they set out as their mission to uphold and promote cultural values that are typically at variant with dominant and institutionalized values; (b) they offer services to members and the public that express their distinct values, using the services as a model and catalyst for social change; (c) in addition to their instrumental goals, they aim to meet the expressive and social identity needs of their members by promoting a collective identity; and (d) they evolve into hybrid organizations by having multiple purposes-combining to various degrees goals of value change, service provision and mutual-aid. Because they deliberately combine features of volunteer-run associations, social movements and non-profit service organizations, we articulate a theoretical framework that melds concepts and propositions from the various theoretical perspectives used to study each of these organizational forms. We argue that the expanded theoretical framework offers a more comprehensive and dynamic view of civil society and a better perspective to the study of third sector organizations.
