This paper proposes a practice-based perspective on how managers resource goal-directed networks in the public sector, especially those governed by a network administrative organization. While previous literature shows that network managers need to acquire and allocate resources in order to achieve network goals, little is known about specific resourcing practices and related challenges to resourcing goal-directed networks. To shed light on these issues, we outline a processual, multilevel, network-centric perspective that focuses on network resourcing practices and takes their interplay with network rules and goals into account. This paper shows that, to attain network goals, network managers need to mitigate developing tensions arising from the different interests of network members, external stakeholders, and the network itself, while navigating a trajectory of network resourcing. The paper contributes to the literature on public networks by examining potential sources of network-level resources; outlining basic resourcing practices of controlling, producing, reproducing, and transforming such resources; discussing multilevel tensions around network resourcing; and exploring trajectories of network resourcing. In addition, we propose avenues for empirical research on network resourcing.

资源目标导向的网络：迈向基于实践的视角

本文提出了一个基于实践的观点，即管理者如何在公共部门资源目标导向的网络，特别是那些由网络管理组织管理的网络。虽然以前的文献表明网络管理者需要获取和分配资源以实现网络目标，但对于特定的资源配置实践和资源目标导向网络的相关挑战知之甚少。为了阐明这些问题，我们概述了一个以网络为中心的流程化、多层次、以网络为中心的观点，该观点侧重于网络资源配置实践，并将其与网络规则和目标的相互作用考虑在内。本文表明，为了实现网络目标，网络管理者需要缓解因网络成员、外部利益相关者和网络本身的不同利益而产生的紧张关系，同时导航网络资源的轨迹。本文通过研究网络级资源的潜在来源，为公共网络文献做出了贡献；概述控制、生产、再生产和转换此类资源的基本资源配置做法；讨论围绕网络资源的多层次紧张局势；并探索网络资源的轨迹。此外，我们提出了对网络资源进行实证研究的途径。
