Abstract

Although interorganizational relationships (IORs) are essential to the effective delivery of human services, very little research has examined relationships between juvenile justice agencies and behavioral health providers, and few studies have identified the most critical organizational and individual-level characteristics influencing IORs. Across 36 sites, juvenile probation officials (n = 458) and community behavioral health providers (n = 91) were surveyed about characteristics of their agencies, themselves, and IORs with each other. Generalized Linear Mixed Models were used to analyze the data. The strongest predictors included Perceived Organizational Support and individual Adaptability. Implications for research, theory and practice are discussed.

Notes

  1. The variance inflation factor (VIF) and tolerance are closely related statistics for diagnosing collinearity (tolerance is the reciprocal of VIF). If any VIF value exceeds 4.0, or any tolerance is less than 0.2, then there is a problem with multicollinearity (Hair et al. 2010). In the present study, no VIF value exceeded 2.5, and no tolerance value was less than 0.5.

  2. As shown in Table 1, five of the 36 sites did not have valid survey data for BH respondents. As noted, HLM mixed models do not require a balanced design and allow the use of all available data when estimating effects.

  3. Specifically, Gender was a significant predictor of Resource Needs in the JJ sample (p < 0.042), but not in the combined sample (p < 0.115). Adaptability was a significant, positive predictor of Effectiveness in the combined sample (p < 0.028), but not in the JJ-only sample (p < 0.211). Gender (p < 0.024) and Hispanic (p < 0.022) were significant predictors of Challenges to Collaboration in the total sample, but not in the JJ sample (p < 0.074 and p < 0.058, respectively). HLM results for the JJ sample only are available from the corresponding author upon request.
