The purpose of the study reported in this paper was to generate substantive theory regarding the development of effective partnerships among community agencies working with vulnerable populations. Ethnographic interviews were conducted and analyzed by applying the constant comparative method of qualitative analysis. This information was supplemented with data from the participants in two workshops, three manuscript reviewers, and relevant literature. Analysis of the data resulted in the emergence of a framework that outlines elements of partnerships. This framework furnishes the foundation for discussions of partnership configuration and partnership development. The results of this study provide basic guidelines for the formation of effective partnerships, and show that there is no single way to develop and structure such collaborative initiatives. Further studies are required in other substantive areas to advance the emergence of a formal theory of partnerships.
本文所报告的研究目的是生成关于与弱势群体合作的社区机构间有效伙伴关系发展的实质性理论。通过应用定性分析的持续比较法进行了人种志访谈并加以分析。这些信息得到了来自两个研讨会的参与者、三位稿件评审人员以及相关文献的数据补充。对数据的分析产生了一个概述伙伴关系要素的框架。该框架为伙伴关系配置和伙伴关系发展的讨论提供了基础。本研究结果为形成有效伙伴关系提供了基本指导方针,并表明不存在单一的方式来发展和构建此类合作倡议。需要在其他实质性领域进行进一步研究,以推动伙伴关系正式理论的出现。
