Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston College, 2002.

This dissertation analyzes human service management through case studies of two urban community-based nonprofit (CBNP) agencies. The historical and cultural backgrounds of these agencies are reviewed with a special focus on the Black Helping Tradition (BHT). The BHT concept is introduced as a key agency in determining management effectiveness among a spectrum of variables observed to influence the programming and function of the two human services organizations. I thus propose a new hybrid model for assessing organizational management effectiveness.

520 $a This dissertation analyzes human service management through case studies of two urban community-based nonprofit (CBNP) agencies. The historical and cultural backgrounds of these agencies are reviewed with a special focus on the Black Helping Tradition (BHT). The BHT concept is introduced as a key agency in determining management effectiveness among a spectrum of variables observed to influence the programming and function of the two human services organizations. I thus propose a new hybrid model for assessing organizational management effectiveness.
520 $a The broader implications of the BHT concept (described as a 'forgotten legacy') are explored for their present and potential future impact on society, particularly African-American society.
520 $a The case studies are organizational ethnographies. I take a 'symbolic interactionist' research approach to address the significance of program activities and develop the following primary themes: (a) Social interaction within CBNP's operate on a competition-cooperation continuum. These interactions serve as key influences, especially among leadership cohorts in management. (b) The character of these interactions is a central variable, but it must be supplemented by sound technical, organizational, and managerial skills---including the capacity to establish productive relationships with entities external to the agency, before success and stability can reasonably be expected to be achieved. (c) I propose the BHT phenomenon offers a unique, valuable perspective on the meaning, purpose, and 'health' of interaction as a complex social fact I also propose that insights, hypotheses, and conclusions from its continuing empirical examination and analysis could be advanced, evaluated, and perhaps confirmed regarding (1) handling problems arising from conflict and competition and (2) the dynamics and nourishment of cooperation itself as a form of symbolic interaction. Such findings and results could be studied within and applied to the CBNP human services setting, other organizational settings, and perhaps beyond.
