“…Similarly, normative pressures can influence the adoption of interorganizational relationships as a legitimate means to reach organizational goals. Sedgwick et al (2021) assert that normative pressures influence police departments to engage in multiagency task forces, and Min et al (2020) find normative publicness, meaning pressures to care for public values, to increase the likelihood of hospitals collaborating for community benefit.…”

Collaboration is often touted as the ideal interorganizational relationship (IOR) to tackle many challenging social problems; however, collaboration is just one of many types of IORs that public managers can undertake. This article presents public managers’ decisions to cooperate, coordinate, or collaborate with program partners as strategic responses of avoiding, compromising, or acquiescing, respectively. We argue that perceptions of coercive, normative, and mimetic pressures influence the likelihood to undertake different IORs; specifically, as managers experience combined isomorphic pressures, they are more likely to acquiesce and collaborate with program partners. Findings from our qualitative study of federal and state preschool programs in Virginia, USA reveal that as managers perceive additional pressures they are more likely to pursue more involved IORs. Unexpectedly, we find that cooperators perceive few isomorphic pressures, and we also find that perceived deterrent isomorphic pressures distinguish coordinators from collaborators. These findings offer insight about how organizational field pressures can affect strategic IOR responses.

“…As the most visible security agency in the country, it is expected that the public will readily notice the ills of the Police more than those of other sister security agencies. To control crime better and ensure public participation and police accountability in crime management, community policing style has become the toast of government and the general public (Arisukwu et al, 2020;Sedgwick et al, 2020;Qu et al, 2020;Diphoorn & van Stapele, 2020). The people are expected to be part of the policing architecture and operations.…”

Community is a veritable ingredient for social change and development in a society. The potentials of individuals and groups in the community are a great source or resource for promoting unity, development and patriotism. The general objective of this study is to examine the influence of diversity in community composition, on the operation of community policing style in Nigeria. The study adopted qualitative research approach to collect and analyze data. In-depth interview is the instrument of data collection while content analysis is the method of data analysis. The study took place in Kwara State, North central Nigeria. Twenty community leaders and youth groups heads were purposefully selected through snowball sampling method. Where this great resource or human capital is adequately galvanized by the leaders and community heads, the community becomes formidable and capable of solving her social problems together. However, these benefits of community are hampered by other socio-cultural and economic variables in its members. Community on its own cannot achieve much until members are mobilized to support and partner with government in any developmental projects.
