Dimensions of Interdependence: The State and Voluntary-Sector Relationship

• Saidel, Judith R

Abstract

The relationship between state government, executive branch agencies, and nonprofit organizations with government contracts is best understood as one of dynamic interdependence. There are at least three overlapping dimensions of interdependence: (1) resource exchange, (2) political, and (3) administrative. Data collected from state agencies and nonprofits and the literature of bureaucratic politics and organization theory, especially that on power dependence and resource dependence, make important contributions to this theoretical framework.
