Contracting Model

Abstract In China, social service contracting is a new phenomenon even in the most developed cities and areas. The action that the government contracts with non-government organizations in delivering community service is merely a local initiative under the context of social administration reform. There are scarce theoretical and empirical discussions relevant to social service contracting in Chinese academic community. In the light of this gap, this article draws on literature of social service contracting in developed countries or cities to understand key elements ensuring an effective contracting and impacts of contracting. Available literature on social service contracting in China is used for discussion to understand the development of social service contracting in China. Public and social services contracting in China can be briefly divided into three models: non-competitive contracting model, competitive contracting model and informal contracting model. Factors influencing the implementation of contracting programs in China are concerned with the participation of sufficient NGOs, the roles and attitudes of government agencies and the relationship and the interaction between stakeholders. The contracting programs both have positive and negative impacts on service provision.

Abstract Social services in China nowadays are increasingly coproduced by both government and non-profit organizations (NPOs). However, we still know little about how NPOs perceive their government partners in social service delivery. Using a Q methodology, this study remedies this gap and identifies three profiles – namely, government as a distant facilitator, government as a hands-off collaborator, and government as a prudent principal. Also, it has been found that two conditions – namely, NPOs’ development stage and funding resources – influence their perceptions on government in social service delivery. These three profiles provide new insights into NPOs’ perceptions of their government partners in social service delivery, and they add new building blocks to existing literature, specifically on the government–NPO relationship in China.

The Impact

Bahrain government sector organizations have started to realize the significance of team management and how it can be managed effectively and efficiently to ensure enhancing the organization's performance. The use of team management to enhance organizational performance in the Bahrain government sector has become a serious situation for the government in the Kingdom of Bahrain. However, in spite of the increasing number of studies relating to team management in developed countries, few studies have been made in the same context within gulf countries. The aim of this study is to determine how the factors of team management can affect the performance of government organizations in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The study adopted a quantitative method approach for the purpose of the study. The sample size of the study is selected from Bahrain government sector organizations, data were collected from 150 respondents, and the sample was selected based of those who were working for the government and semi-government organizations from the employees who are representing the basics of the organization to the managers who are the responsible persons of team’s formation. The generated data from the government and semi-government organizations were analyzed using many statistical tools, we used the Correlation analysis to test the relationship between our variables and Linear Regression was to test the hypothesis of the study. The results showed that only team decision has a significant positive influence on organizational performance in Bahrain government sector. However, the study result showed that there is no influence on organizational performance in the Bahrain government sector from team trust, team motivation, team cohesiveness, and job satisfaction. Finally, the study recommended the need for Bahrain government sector organizations to give full attention to team management in those organizations in which this will reflect the organizational performance positively.

The establishment of regional councils of health and social services: analysis of a political processBill 65 on the organization of health services and social services in Quebec interposed between the government and the community an intermediate level composed of regional councils of health and social services (crsss). Alongside people named by the different categories of institutions constituting the network of social concerns, one also finds within the councils people who are supposed to represent the population of the region. Using the concepts of resources, position, and power, the authors analyse the authority which the different actors have exercised in the course of the process which has given rise to the granting of positions on the crsss. The analysis of the process and of the composition of the first councils reveals that the minister's objective was only partially attained. The traditional institutions, whether the hospitals, the reception centres, or the social service centres, succeeded in delegating to the councils only those persons having important responsibilities within their respective institutions, while the other categories on whom the minister counted for the introduction of new figures (mayors for example) responded only weakly to these expectations. In sum, one can say that the most powerful categories of actors in the social affairs sector are still more powerful and conspicuous after the implementation of the crsss, and that the new categories of actors have not made a very significant breakthrough.

This study aims to clarify regulations used among each type of registered and unregistered Malaysian homestays and to reveal issues arose regarding the implemented regulations. Selected homestays that are established by the government organizations and individuals were investigated to carry out the comparison on each homestay. Host families and persons in charge of the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC), the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA), and the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development (MRRD) were also interviewed. Findings showed that there is only one guideline used for all types of homestays in Malaysia, which is the Malaysia Homestay Registration Guideline, established by MOTAC. MOTAC has also been selected as a leader of homestays in the Southeast Asian countries by the ASEAN Secretariat; therefore, the ASEAN Homestay Standard is also being referred. However, the implementation of this guideline and standard among other homestays unregistered with MOTAC (homestays established by MOA, MRRD, and individuals) is not compulsory, although encouraged, where they may receive equal benefits in term of facilities and promotion. Some issues arose due to the tax regulated by the local authorities, failure on homestays to be registered with MOTAC, and abandoned homestays. This study recommended that the Malaysia Homestay Registration Guideline to be standardized and regulated to all types of homestays, including individuals and unregistered homestays in Malaysia. This is important in order to reduce issues arose involving the homestay industry, providing safety and comfort to the tourists and, to help to develop rural income among host families and the rural community themselves.Keywords: Rural tourism, homestay, regulation, management, operation

At the end of World War I, in many European countries women won the active and passive right to vote. Poland was one of the first countries, where women were allowed to participate in political life. Already at the time of establishing the Legislative Sejm (1919) the first women-MPs took their seats in Parliament. Similarly, the situation presented itself in the case of the Senate. During its first session (1922) women participated in the works of the upper chamber. The purpose of this paper is to present the participation of women in the legislative work of the Senate in various terms of office. The participation of women in the legislative work of Parliament was characterized by their involvement in issues concerning education or social services, while avoiding participation in the legislative work or that dealing with political matters. The situation presented itself differently as regards women’s involvement in the work of the Senate. A good example here was the activity of Dorota Kałuszyńska, who – during the work on the so called April Constitution of 1935 – not only participated in it very actively, but also ruthlessly attacked the then ruling camp. Another very interesting episode related to activities of women in the Senate was an informal covenant during the work on the bill to limit the sale, administration and consumption of alcoholic beverages. Belonging to different political groups: the said D. Kłuszyńska as a representative of the Polish Socialist Party, Helena Kisielewska from the Bloc of National Minorities and Hanna Hubicka of BBWR [the Nonpartisan Bloc for Cooperation with the Government] unanimously criticized the regulations in force, which – in their opinion – did not fulfill their role when it came to anti-alcohol protection. The participation of women as far as their number was concerned was indeed small, but the Senate (like Parliament) of the Second Republic functioned in the period when women had just begun their activity on the legislative forum. Undoubtedly, it was a very interesting period, in which women had the benefit in the form of gaining their parliamentary experience. For example, it gave rise to subsequent activities of Dorota Kłuszyńska, who actively participated in the legislative works of the Sejm in the years 1947–1952, dealing with social issues or family.
