The purpose of this study was to identify potential opportunities for improving member participation in community-based coalitions. We hypothesized that opportunities for influence and process competence would each foster higher levels of individual member participation. We tested these hypotheses in a sample of 818 members within 79 youth-oriented coalitions. Opportunities for influence were measured as members' perceptions of an inclusive board leadership style and members' reported committee roles. Coalition process competence was measured through member perceptions of strategic board directedness and meeting effectiveness. Members reported three types of participation within meetings as well as how much time they devoted to coalition business beyond meetings. Generalized linear models accommodated clustering of individuals within coalitions. Opportunities for influence were associated with individuals' participation both within and beyond meetings. Coalition process competence was not associated with participation. These results suggest that leadership inclusivity rather than process competence may best facilitate member participation.
本研究的目的是确定提高成员参与社区联盟的潜在机会。我们假设，影响力机会和过程能力机会都将促进更高水平的个体成员参与。我们在79个面向青年的联盟中的818名成员样本中检验了这些假设。影响力机会通过成员对包容性董事会领导风格的看法以及成员报告的委员会角色来衡量。联盟过程能力通过成员对战略董事会方向性和会议有效性的看法来衡量。成员报告了会议中的三种参与类型以及他们在会议之外投入到联盟事务的时间。广义线性模型考虑了联盟内个体的聚类情况。影响力机会与成员在会议内外的参与都相关。联盟过程能力与参与不相关。这些结果表明，领导包容性而非过程能力可能最有助于促进成员参与。
