摘要
本章报告的结果，一个20年的纵向研究，美国工会如何调整其内部的行政做法，以满足他们面临的重大外部挑战。在以前的学术著作中，研究人员报告说，美国工会的行政实践远比商业，政府和其他非营利组织更加非正式，特设和政治化。作者在2010年的调查中要求总部设在美国的国家和国际工会提供有关其内部行政做法的数据。调查结果与1990年和2000年进行的类似调查结果进行了比较。这些调查的结果表明，在所研究的20年期间，工会采用更正式的人事政策、预算做法、战略规划程序以及评估计划活动的努力稳步增加。他们还指出，工会越来越多地招募符合大学、技术和专业资格的个人。总的来说，调查结果表明，许多工会认识到，调整其内部行政做法以适应它们面临的新现实，是任何组织振兴努力的一个基本和必要部分。
Abstract
This chapter reports the results of a 20-year longitudinal study of how American unions have adapted their internal administrative practices to meet the significant external challenges they face. In previous scholarly work, researchers have reported that the administrative practices of American unions were far more informal, ad hoc, and political than those of business, government, and other nonprofit organizations. The authors’ 2010 survey asked US-based national and international unions to provide data concerning their internal administrative practices. The results were compared with findings from similar surveys conducted in 1990 and 2000. The results of these surveys indicate a steady increase in unions’ adoption of more formal personnel policies, budget practices, strategic planning processes, and efforts to evaluate planned activities over the 20-year period studied. They also indicate that unions increasingly recruit individuals meeting college, technical, and professional qualifications. Taken together, the results suggest a recognition on the part of many unions that adapting their internal administrative practices to the new realities they face is a fundamental and a necessary part of any effort at organizational renewal.
