  • Collaborations with faith‐based social service coalitions

    Open AccessHelen Rose Ebaugh, Janet Saltzman Chafetz et al.ARTICLENonprofit Management and Leadership2007

    Based on the first national survey of faith‐based social service coalitions in the United States, this article presents data on the degree to which these nonprofit organizations collaborate with other specific organizational types, as well as the range and intensity of these collaborations. In general, faith‐based coalitions tend to collaborate most frequently with other faith‐based agencies, a pattern especially characteristic of the more religi…

    During the past three decades, feminist scholars in almost all social and behavioral sciences, as well as the humanities, have successfully demonstrated the ubiquity and omnirelevance of gender as a socio-cultural construction in virtually all human collectives, past and present. Gender shapes and is shaped in all arenas of social life, from the most mundane practices of everyday life to those of the most powerful corporate actors. In this semina…

  • Where's the Faith in Faith-based Organizations? Measures and Correlates of Religiosity in Faith-based Social Service Coalitions

    Helen Rose Ebaugh, Janet Saltzman Chafetz et al.ARTICLESocial Forces2006Cited by: 10

    Organizational religiosity is analyzed with data from a national survey of faith-based social service coalitions (N = 656). Twenty-one items related to religious practices within these organizations result in three distinct factors: service religiosity, staff religiosity and organizational religiosity scales. Self-defined faith-based coalitions vary widely on all three. OLS analysis regressing 12 coalition attributes on the three scales demonstra…

  • Funding Good Works: Funding Sources of Faith-Based Social Service Coalitions

    Open AccessHelen Rose Ebaugh, Janet Saltzman Chafetz et al.ARTICLEJournal of Voluntary Action…2005

    Data from the first national study of faith-based social service coalitions ( n = 656) are used to achieve three goals. First, the authors describe their myriad funding sources. Second, they discuss their attitudes toward three major ones: government, foundations, and congregations. Third, they analyze organizational characteristics that correlate with funding sources. Given a paucity of empirical literature on faith-based agencies, the authors d…

    Open AccessHelen Rose Ebaugh, Janet Saltzman Chafetz et al.ARTICLESocial Science Quarterly2005Cited by: 7References: 15

    Objective.

Method. Our method is the application of OLS and probit …

  • Gendered Power and Privilege: Taking Lenski One Step Further

    Open AccessJanet Saltzman ChafetzARTICLESociological Theory2004Cited by: 1References: 6

    In Power and Privilege, Gerhard Lenski's theory of the evolution of systems of inequality, he showed some recognition of gender inequality but, as universally accepted in sociology at the time, 'social' stratification was conceptualized implicitly as inequality between male household heads. To move from this to explaining gender inequality requires consideration of constructs in addition to those developed by Lenski, but in terms of his typology …

  • Where's the Religion? Distinguishing Faith-Based from Secular Social Service Agencies

    Open AccessHelen Rose Ebaugh, Paula F Pipes et al.ARTICLEJournal for the Scientific Study…2003Cited by: 25References: 6

    The charitable choice provision and President Bush's proposed Faith-Based and Community Initiative have spurred debates regarding government support of faith-based social service programs and their effectiveness. To address the issue of relative effectiveness, the logically prior question of what constitutes a faith-based agency and how they differ from secular providers must be answered. Utilizing data from a mailed survey, this study compares t…

  • Structural Adaptations in Immigrant Congregations

    Helen Rose Ebaugh, Janet Saltzman ChafetzARTICLESociology of Religion2000Cited by: 39

    In this paper we show that immigrant religious institutions tend to assume many elements of a congregational structure and a community center model of functioning, characteristics usually not found in their countries of origin. Based on data from the Religion, Ethnicity, New Immigrants Research (RENIR) project in Houston, Texas, we found, however, that the two dimensions are distinct and largely unrelated to one another. While each serves as a ve…

  • Feminist Theory and Sociology: Underutilized Contributions for Mainstream Theory

    Janet Saltzman ChafetzARTICLEAnnual Review of Sociology1997Cited by: 44References: 50

    Feminist theories in sociology reflect the rich diversity of general theoretical orientations in our discipline; there is no one form of feminist theory. The development of these theories over the last 25 years has only recently begun to influence the mainstream theory canon, which has much to learn from their insights. This chapter demonstrates why feminist versions of the following theory types should be more fully integrated into mainstream so…

    Janet Saltzman Chafetz, Jacqueline HaganARTICLEJournal of Comparative Family…1996Cited by: 15

    This paper explores the reasons for the plethora of well-known changes that characterize the family as social institution in the closing decades of the twentieth century, changes sometimes labelled a second demographic transition (Lesthaeghe, 1992) . Our purpose is to develop theoretical explanation of the processes that link economic expansion in the decades since the end of World War II to number of family changes shared by industrial nations: …
