摘要

对于非营利组织来说,外部资金是必不可少的资源。研究强调了控制权是如何归属于资助者的,因此外部资助威胁到接受组织的自主权。本研究的目的是研究外部控制是如何构建和行使的,并探讨控制如何与组织自主性相互作用。,该研究基于一段时间内对非营利组织及其资助者的采访和参与者观察。它报告了四种不同的资助关系:基于合同的、社会投资的、礼物资助的和民间社会-公共伙伴关系。组织自由裁量权的概念被用来分析控制和自主在这些关系中是如何相互联系的。,该分析说明了暴露与外部控制相关的不同自由裁量边界的价值,以及控制如何成为组织争取自主权的斗争伙伴。最后的论点是,控制和自主是彼此的伙伴,而不是对手。这项研究让我们质疑一个普遍的假设,即非营利组织努力避免资源依赖和外部控制,但可能会利用这种控制来制定独立和自我实现的策略。,实证材料是独特的,因为它包含了受援组织和资助者的声音,并提供了不同控制关系的比较。该研究提出了一个基于自由裁量空间和推理概念的创新分析框架,支持关于外部控制对非营利组织自主性有害的观点的批判性讨论。

Control and autonomy: resource dependence relations and non-profit organizations
For non-profit organizations (NPOs) external funding is an essential resource. Studies highlight how control is attributed to funders and so external funding threatens the autonomy of the recipient organization. The purpose of this study is to investigate how external control can be structured and exercised, and to explore how control interacts with organizational autonomy.,The research is based on interviews and participant observations with NPOs and their funders over a period of time. It reports from four different funding-relations: contract-based, social investment, gift-funded and civil society–public partnership. The concept of organizational discretion is used to analyse how control and autonomy are interconnected in these relationship.,The analysis illustrates the value in exposing the different discretionary boundaries related to external control and how control can become a sparring partner in the organization's striving for autonomy. A concluding argument is that control and autonomy are each other's companions rather than antagonists. The study leads us to question a general assumption that NPOs strive to avoid resource dependence and external control but instead may use such control to develop strategies for independence and self-realization.,The empirical material is unique as it includes voices of recipient organizations and funders, and offers a comparison of different controlling-relations. The study presents an innovative analytical framework based on the concepts of discretionary space and reasoning, which supports a critical discussion regarding the idea of external control as detrimental to the autonomy of NPOs.
