Beyond interdependency: An identity-based perspective on cooperative interorganizational mission. - 390 p.

Mentor: C. Douglas McConnell.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Fuller Theological Seminary, School of Intercultural Studies, 2005.

This dissertation is the product of an exploratory study of the influence of organizational identity on interorganizational cooperation in the context of Christian mission. The study began with a two year review and integration of theory related to the fields of organizational sociology, network coordination, and the organizational identity concept. Minor studies focused theologically on the Trinity as a means of refining the language by which Christian unity is articulated, and practically on the actual process of developing cooperative arrangements between organizations. Primary field research was carried out through a case study approach in an Asian context utilizing semi-structured interviews, document analysis and limited participant observation. A triangulating survey partially tested the ability to generalize findings.

520 $a This dissertation is the product of an exploratory study of the influence of organizational identity on interorganizational cooperation in the context of Christian mission. The study began with a two year review and integration of theory related to the fields of organizational sociology, network coordination, and the organizational identity concept. Minor studies focused theologically on the Trinity as a means of refining the language by which Christian unity is articulated, and practically on the actual process of developing cooperative arrangements between organizations. Primary field research was carried out through a case study approach in an Asian context utilizing semi-structured interviews, document analysis and limited participant observation. A triangulating survey partially tested the ability to generalize findings.
520 $a The findings of the research indicate that organizational identity is essentially the profound sense of a group's right to organize their own activity, which is sanctified in this context with an equally profound God-given vision. This combination creates a set of nonnegotiable assumptions regarding autonomy, duplication of effort and decision-making patterns in a cooperative context. The research also identified a set of inbuilt tensions in the context of cooperative mission that signify the very human element of mission that exists sometimes in spite of, sometimes because of, and sometimes in contradiction to organizational identity and its corresponding logic.
520 $a The conclusions and recommendations section suggests on a broad level a redirection in the language used to evaluate the adequacy of a given cooperative interorganizational approach. The suggested shift is from the language of dependency based ideals to a language rooted in the term "responsibility." It is suggested that this can at least partially shift the criteria for decisions made regarding cooperation beyond the boundaries of the organization itself. On a more specific level, conclusions and recommendations center on the five research questions which guide the study.
520 $a An incidental contribution of this study is a three-dimensional matrix of eight coordination schemes, all on a congruent theoretical level of analysis. Within this model, four continua are identified that are unique to this dissertation as a correlated set.
