A Method for Coping with Diversity within Voluntary Organizations
Abstract
An adequate level of integration is necessary for the survival of
groups & organizations. Disagreements over a voluntary
association's goals & policies may reduce group integration. A
vote-trading method for coping with disagreements among members is
illustrated with data from a voluntary political association. Survey
questionnaires were mailed to committee members (N = 38) & active
members (N = 12). Strengths & limitations of this technique are
analyzed. Benefits from vote-trading may be particularly significant
for egalitarian voluntary associations & in formation &
maintenance of coalitions. 4 Tables. Modified HA.
