Abstract

The implementation of urban sustainability policy efforts often require collaboration across multiple semi-independent units within a single government organization. The settings where representatives from relevant units interact, provide a potential mechanism for mitigating functional collective action (FCA) challenges, yet little research has examined how different venues shape the collaborative behavior of administrative units within a single government entity. Using detailed unit-level data collected from Kansas City, Missouri's government, this paper advances research on intra-organizational collaboration by applying methods of network analysis to examine the role that different types of venues play in facilitating cross-departmental interaction and the resolution of FCA problems. Results suggest that co-participation in structured decision institutions and informal policy arenas are both associated with increases in units’ collaboration around sustainability initiatives. However, variation in the size and robustness of impact is evident across venues, providing initial insights for how they may be structured to maximize collaborative effect.

围绕城市可持续发展的决策机构、政策领域和跨部门集体行动
城市可持续发展政策的实施通常需要在一个政府组织内的多个半独立单位之间进行合作。来自相关单位的代表互动的环境为缓解职能集体行动(FCA)挑战提供了一种潜在的机制,但很少有研究考察不同场所如何影响单个政府实体内行政单位的合作行为。本文利用从密苏里州堪萨斯城政府收集的详细单位级数据,通过应用网络分析方法来研究不同类型的场馆在促进跨部门互动和解决FCA问题方面所起的作用,从而推进组织内部协作的研究。结果表明,共同参与结构化决策机构和非正式政策领域都与各单位围绕可持续性举措的合作增加有关。然而,影响的规模和稳健性在各个场馆之间存在明显差异,这为如何构建这些场馆以最大限度地发挥协作效果提供了初步见解。
