项目摘要

9906714WillerThis Doctoral Dissertation Improvement research project focuses on the coexistence of two incompatible structures in organized associations. As associations organize bureaucratically to resolve collective action problems, their substantive goals are subject to shift toward formal bureaucratic goals-a tendency, which intensifies as the group increases in size and complexity. Organized associations are found in the "third sector," a term referring to an array of religious, community, and philanthropic groups oriented toward the achievement of collective goals. This study hypothesizes that bureaucratization produces a number of important effects, including alienation. Bureaucratization is measured as a ratio of paid staff to operational volunteers performing comparable tasks. Member alienation is measured by the rate of turnover for members, broken down by organizational position, and controlled for demographic changes.Data will be obtained from a total or nearly total sample of local chapters of a national membership organization (Girl Scouts of the United States of America) having both volunteer and paid staff structures at all levels. A database will be constructed, broken down according to client or agent member status and by organizational position, constituting one of the most complete and consistent datasets ever to be compiled in third sector research.

9906714威勒博士学位论文改进研究项目聚焦于有组织的社团中两种不相容结构的共存。随着协会以官僚方式组织起来解决集体行动问题，他们的实质性目标可能会转向正式的官僚目标--这一趋势随着团体的规模和复杂性的增加而加剧。有组织的协会出现在“第三部门”，这个术语指的是一系列以实现集体目标为目标的宗教、社区和慈善团体。这项研究假设官僚化会产生许多重要的影响，包括疏远。官僚化的衡量标准是受薪工作人员与执行类似任务的业务志愿人员的比率。会员疏离度是以会员的流动率来衡量的，按组织职位细分，并根据人口结构的变化进行控制。数据将从具有各级志愿者和受薪工作人员结构的国家会员组织(美利坚合众国女童子军)的地方分会的全部或几乎全部样本中获得。将建立一个数据库，根据客户或代理成员的状态和组织职位进行细分，构成第三部门研究中有史以来最完整和最一致的数据集之一。
