Managing the Entanglement
Complexity in public sector systems requires leaders to balance the administrative practices necessary to be aligned and efficient in the management of routine challenges and the adaptive practices required to respond to dynamic circumstances. Conventional notions of leadership in the field of public administration do not fully explain the role of leadership in balancing the entanglement of formal, top‐down, administrative functions and informal,…
Hybridity and Social Entrepreneurship in Social Housing in Ireland
In this paper we explore the nature of hybrid organisations and report on the existence over time in social housing in Ireland. We first review the literature to identify three different conceptualisations of the concept of hybridity and its relation to the study on nonprofit organisations. We then look at hybridity in social housing in Ireland over three centuries—drawing upon previous empirical research from Mullins et al. (Non-profit housing o…
How does evaluation ‘Work’? A case study of homeless services in Ireland
This paper describes how the processes of evaluation interact with the complex processes of policy and implementation, with a view to exploring the implications relating to the nature of evidence, the impact of evaluation on policy and practice and the challenges inherent in evaluation activities. Recent studies of evaluation and evidence-based policy have suggested that there are significant issues and complexities in determining ‘what works’ sp…
Exploring network governance in urban regeneration, community involvement and integration
This special issue of Journal of Housing and the Built Environment on network governance in urban regeneration, community involvement and integration has emerged from a working group of the European Network of Housing Research (ENHR) on institutional and organizational dynamics in social housing. It builds on earlier work published in a special issue of Housing, Theory and Society on network perspectives in social housing (Mullins and Rhodes 2007…
Vision and reality
This article examines the processes and outcomes of community involvement in six Irish urban regeneration case studies, three in Dublin and three in Belfast. The findings are part of a wider study using a Complex Adaptive Systems perspective to analyse public sector decision making. Key points included: (1) the community ‘vision’ of the regeneration as an emergent property, which converged towards the vision held by the implementing agencies in t…
Strategic Choice in the Irish Housing System
This article examines the strategy choices of various agents in the housing system in the Republic of Ireland with a view to understanding the range of choices and the environmental factors that drive strategy and outcomes in the housing domain. Using a complex adaptive systems (CAS) framework, the strategic decisions in 50 different organizations are analysed to identify types of agents, strategies employed and decision factors. In addition, the…

Organizational Fields and Third Sector Housing in Ireland, North and South
This paper applies “organizational field” analysis to compare the structure of the third sector housing fields in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Following preliminary accounts of history, structure, funding, and regulation, four key dimensions of field structure are compared: interaction, subgroups, structural equivalence, and patterns of domination. In both fields studied, early steering by the state into specialist roles has been…
