This paper examines the net effect of unions on productivity in the commercial banking industry. The focus of the study is
on three methodological issues. First, an attempt is made to determine whether individual unions have a differential impact
on banking productivity. The influence of unions on output per man-hour was initially estimated by including a union dummy
variable in a Cobb-Douglas formulation of bank production. Separate binary variables were then entered into alternative specifications
of the model to test the heterogeneity hypothesis. This hypothesis postulates differential productivity effects among the
individual unions operating in the commercial banking sector. Second, the sample banks were paired on a case-by-case basis
to assure the homogeneity of the two groupings: i.e., union and nonunion. Sample homogeneity is necessary because of the assumptions
of identical production functions and output prices between the groups. Third, a complete covariance model was specified in
order to estimate the impact of unionization on each parameter of the production function. In general, the unionized banks
were less productive than their nonunion peers. It should be noted, however, that the standard errors were large in all the
specifications. Moreover, the labor relations problems associated with one union had a large impact on the sector results. 相似文献

This paper explores the impact of social capital—measured by social trust and social networks—on individual charitable giving
to religious and secular organizations. Using United States data from the national sample of the 2000 Social Capital Community
Benchmark Survey, we find that social trust, bridging social network, and civic engagement increase the amount of giving to
both religious and secular causes. In contrast, organizational activism only affects secular giving. Volunteering activity,
and human and financial capital indicators positively affect both religious and secular giving. Finally, those who are happy
about their lives and those who are religious give more to religious causes, but these factors do not affect secular giving.
We find evidence of important differences in the determinants of religious and secular giving, suggesting the need to distinguish
these two types of charitable giving in future work.

Local social service agencies throughout the world have begunencouraging or requiring social service providers to form community-basednetworks for the delivery of publicly funded social services.Little is known, however, about the nature of the resultingnetworks. In this article we develop a model of organizational,programmatic, and community influences on the size and scopeof interorganizational networks for social service delivery.We then apply this theoretical framework to an empirical studyof service delivery networks in the Family Preservation Programin Los Angeles County. Our findings suggest that the availabilityof potential partners in the community, the scope of requiredservices, and the ethnic homogeneity of the client populationare key determinants of network size. We develop the implicationsof the results for theories of partnership formation and formore effective management of network formation processes. 相似文献

Public agencies increasingly contract with nonprofit organizations to lead community‐based networks for social service delivery. We explore the role that partnership characteristics play in the effectiveness of these networks. Using data on children and family services in Los Angeles County, we consider the impact of both the motivations for forming partnerships and the nature of the resulting partnerships on perceived outcomes for clients, interorganizational relationships, and organizational learning. We find that client outcomes and interorganizational relationships are enhanced when partnerships are formed to meet certain programmatic and organizational goals. Organizational learning, however, is affected only when partnerships are formed to enhance organizational legitimacy. Partners selected because they share common vision increase effectiveness, while those selected because there are few alternative partners decrease effectiveness. Finally, when partnerships use an interorganizational coordination mechanism, client outcomes are improved. The managerial implications of these impacts for the nonprofit sector are developed. The results lend considerable support to the role of partnership motivation and partner selection in the effectiveness of nonprofit lead‐organization networks, and specificity about the nature of that role. 相似文献
