Title: THE PERFORMANCE OF LOCAL PUBLIC AGENCIES: AN ORGANIZATIONAL ANALYSIS OF AREA AGENCIES ON AGING
Abstract: "The dissertation is a study of the relationship between a local public agency's organizational structure and its performance. It is based upon an empirical analysis of one type of local public agency--the Area Agency On Aging. The analysis takes into account major demographic and economic factors characteristic of the local public agency's social environment.
Archival and census data are the principal sources of information for this study. Archival data of Area Agencies were collected from nine State Offices On Aging. The data have reliability and validity limitations typically found in archival and census data, but several procedures were used to produce the highest reliability and validity possible. The statistical techniques used were regression and path analysis, and the data were examined for violations of the assumptions associated with these statistical techniques.
The findings provide support for two organizational theories based on the functional school of thought--the structural and environmental theories. However, it is shown that these theories do not provide a comprehensive explanation for Area Agency performance. Therefore, a classification scheme which incorporates the functional school of thought as well as several other perspectives is considered."
