An exploratory study of administrative practice in collaboratives
Abstract
Examined how traditional administrative functions and processes are
applied in a collaborative environment. Interviews were conducted with
12 social work administrators in human service agencies in southern
California. The findings show that there are some areas of
administrative practice that may be implemented differently in a
collaborative. The themes that describe these differences focus on the
following administrative functions and processes: relationship
building, participatory planning, collective decision making,
coordinating and sharing of tasks, problem solving/conflict
resolution, and facilitative leadership. Each theme is described in
this article. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2007 APA, all rights
