ABSTRACT Too many ex-offenders are condemned to a life of unemployment, under-employment and benefit-dependency with significant ongoing costs to themselves, the economy and to wider society. To address this growing and intransigent problem, recent public policy innovations have led to the re-emergence of collaborative instruments such as social procurement which require companies tendering for construction and infrastructure contracts to train and employ ex-offenders on their projects. To comply, construction firms need to form new collaborate arrangements with organizations from the social and government sectors, yet little is known about how these new cross-sector collaborations work, what barriers to collaboration exist and how to overcome them. Mobilising theories of cross-sector collaboration, this exploratory case study research draws on findings from interviews, observations and documentary analysis of eleven collaborative pilot projects in the UK designed to explore new employment pathways for ex-offenders into construction. The findings reveal numerous barriers to cross-sector collaboration including little experience of cross-sector working; challenges working across different organizational logics; transaction costs associated with new organizational practices; and misaligned incentives. It is concluded that new forms of social project management, intrapreneurship and relational competencies need to be developed to enable these new collaborative arrangements to work.

通过建设将前罪犯重新融入工作:社会采购中跨部门合作的案例研究

摘要 太多的前罪犯注定要过着失业、就业不足和依赖福利的生活,这给他们自己、经济和更广泛的社会带来了巨大的持续成本。为了解决这个日益严重且顽固的问题,最近的公共政策创新导致了社会采购等协作工具的重新出现,这些工具要求投标建筑和基础设施合同的公司在其项目中培训和雇用前罪犯。为了遵守规定,建筑公司需要与社会和政府部门的组织形成新的合作安排,但人们对这些新的跨部门合作如何运作、存在哪些合作障碍以及如何克服这些障碍知之甚少。调动跨部门合作的理论,这项探索性案例研究借鉴了对英国 11 个合作试点项目的采访、观察和文件分析的结果,这些项目旨在探索前罪犯进入建筑业的新就业途径。调查结果揭示了跨部门合作的诸多障碍,包括缺乏跨部门工作经验;跨不同组织逻辑工作的挑战;与新的组织实践相关的交易成本;和错位的激励措施。结论是,需要开发新形式的社会项目管理、内部创业和关系能力,以使这些新的协作安排能够发挥作用。对英国 11 个合作试点项目的观察和文件分析,旨在探索前罪犯进入建筑业的新就业途径。调查结果揭示了跨部门合作的诸多障碍,包括缺乏跨部门工作经验;跨不同组织逻辑工作的挑战;与新的组织实践相关的交易成本;和错位的激励措施。结论是,需要开发新形式的社会项目管理、内部创业和关系能力,以使这些新的协作安排能够发挥作用。对英国 11 个合作试点项目的观察和文件分析,旨在探索前罪犯进入建筑业的新就业途径。调查结果揭示了跨部门合作的诸多障碍,包括缺乏跨部门工作经验;跨不同组织逻辑工作的挑战;与新的组织实践相关的交易成本;和错位的激励措施。结论是,需要开发新形式的社会项目管理、内部创业和关系能力,以使这些新的协作安排能够发挥作用。与新的组织实践相关的交易成本;和错位的激励措施。结论是,需要开发新形式的社会项目管理、内部创业和关系能力,以使这些新的协作安排能够发挥作用。与新的组织实践相关的交易成本;和错位的激励措施。结论是,需要开发新形式的社会项目管理、内部创业和关系能力,以使这些新的协作安排能够发挥作用。
