Abstract

UK employment services are increasingly delivered by public, private and third sector organisations in quasi-markets that can be viewed as fields with actors (providers) competing for resources and position. The commissioning of the Work Programme produced an ‘episode of contention’ as fewer resources, shifting policy priorities and new contractual arrangements restructured relationships within the field. Drawing on empirical research the paper demonstrates how providers with different resources have navigated this period, employing strategies to manage challenger and incumbent roles and maintain their position in the field. The findings contribute to both field theory and our theoretical understanding of employment services. key words employment services • Work Programme commissioning • sector • field theory
英国就业服务:了解动态战略行动领域的供应商战略
英国的就业服务越来越多地由准市场中的公共、私营和第三部门组织提供,准市场可以被视为参与者(提供者)争夺资源和地位的领域。由于资源减少、政策优先次序改变和新的合同安排重新调整了外地内的关系,工作方案的委托产生了“争论事件”。根据实证研究,本文展示了拥有不同资源的供应商如何度过这一时期,采用策略来管理挑战者和现任者的角色,并保持其在该领域的地位。研究结果有助于实地理论和我们对就业服务的理论理解。关键词就业服务•工作方案调试•部门•现场理论
