Network Embeddedness and Monitoring Mechanisms in Government-Nonprofit Public Service Delivery Agreements
We examine monitoring decisions made by governments when delivering services with nonprofit organizations in formal agreements. Our analysis suggests that the breadth of monitoring mechanisms that governments employ is more complex than shown in previous studies. We coded agreements in accordance with mechanisms identified in extant literature and employed inductive content analysis to establish 37 previously unexplored monitoring mechanisms. We …
Investigating residential drinking water bills across small and medium-sized municipal systems
Empirical studies of water utilities often focus on large urban systems, in part because data on smaller providers are limited. This paper contributes to the literature on small and medium-sized water systems by leveraging novel data collected through direct outreach to primary governmental community water systems (CWSs) in Illinois, outside the Chicago Metropolitan Area. Specifically, the analysis focuses on municipalities that provide drinking …
The Hidden Household Water Affordability Burden
The provision of affordable, high-quality residential water services is necessary for community health and well-being. Yet, the time-intensive nature of data collection and inconsistent public availability of ordinances online make research on water policy an often overlooked aspect of municipal governance. This study investigates the intersection of municipal water policy, equity, and accessibility by analyzing the hidden household burdens assoc…
A population ecology of network domains
Purpose-oriented networks (PONs) are a crucial and prevalent forum for addressing complex public issues. Using a longitudinal bipartite dataset of 74 PONs nested in three different geographic areas, we test a series of hypotheses, based in population ecology theories, concerning the impact of domain-level dynamics on network-level outcomes. Findings offer substantial support for, and insight into, the relevance of population-level dynamics in exp…
Extending the Interdependence Theory to Local Public Service Provision
Lester Salamon’s interdependence theory has held up over time and across dozens of national contexts. However, the theory has largely been developed through data on government partnerships with nonprofits for providing social services. While government-nonprofit partnerships exist in various service areas and policy contexts, the theory has rarely been applied in less “traditional” service settings. We apply a mixed-method sequential research des…
Can Managers Get it Right? Examining the Crossroads of Accountability and Measurement
Collaborative Value in Public and Nonprofit Strategic Alliances
The value created by public–nonprofit (PNP) alliances often emphasizes public sector service delegation to nonprofits, but public and nonprofit organizations often seek to create shared social value with alliances, particularly in sectors where there is coproduction. To better understand shared social value, we apply the Collaborative Value Creation (CVC) framework to investigate value creation in the Transition Coaching sector—nonprofit organiza…
A Reviewer’s Guide to Qualitative Rigor
Institutions are useful for advancing methodologies within disciplines. Through required coursework, doctoral students are indoctrinated into basic guidelines and frameworks that provide a common foundation for scholars to interact with one another. Lacking such forums in many of our doctoral granting institutions (Stout 2013), the field of public management continues to struggle with an ambivalence toward qualitative approaches. Lack of shared u…
Studying Networks in Complex Problem Domains
The application of network perspectives and methods to study complex problem and policy domains has proliferated in the public management literature. Network metrics are highly sensitive to boundary decisions as findings are a direct reflection of who and what was considered to be part of the network. The more complex the problem domain, the messier the network and the more challenging it is for researchers to determine network boundaries. Lauman…
