the organizational dynamics of the u s environmental movement legitimation Resource Mobilization and political opportunity
Rural Sociology, 2009Co-Authors: Paul Mclaughlin, Marwan KhawajaAbstract:We analyze the relationship between legitimation, Resource Mobilization, and political opportunity and the founding rate of national environmental organizations between 1895 and 1994. We address recent criticisms that organizational ecologists' reliance on the density dependence model—which treats legitimation as an unmeasured intervening variable—has failed to capture the active sociopolitical character of this process. We advocate a more historical approach to legitimation which relies on print media to construct direct measures of legitimation. Specifically, we use the yearly count of environmental books published as a measure of the legitimacy of environmentalism in the U.S. This count remains statistically significant and positively related to foundings even when other variables are added to the model. A negative second-order effect of total books suggests that the recent proliferation of state and local environmental organizations is beginning to depress the founding rate of national organizations. Variations in Resource Mobilization and political opportunity also have affected foundings, though variables measuring the latter were not significant in the full model.

Resource Mobilization, Hardship, and Popular Collective Action in the West Bank
Social Forces, 1994Co-Authors: Marwan KhawajaAbstract:Though empirical support for Resource Mobilization explanations of collective action in the U.S. is strong, it is still uncertain whether the theory offers adequate explanations for collective action in nonaffluent or crisis-ridden settings. This article examines whether collective action increases as a function of increased hardship or improved political opportunities and/or economic Resources for Mobilization in the West Bank context. This question is evaluated by parametric statistical models and event history data on collective political events that occurred in the area over the 1976-85 period. The analysis reveals that Resource Mobilization explanations were far superior in explaining collective action in the present case than the deprivation account. However, contrary to expectations, direct repression increased the rate of Palestinian collective action while state vulnerability decreased it during the period examined. 7he findings also indicate

the arab spring social media in the egyptian revolution reconsidering Resource Mobilization theory
International Journal of Communication, 2011Co-Authors: Nahed Eltantawy, Julie B WiestAbstract:This article seeks to open dialogue about the utility of Resource Mobilization theory in explaining social movements and their impact by exploring the use of social media in the 2011 Egyptian revolution through a limited case study analysis. It argues that social media played an instrumental role in the success of the anti-government protests that led to the resignation of the country’s dictatorial leader, and calls for further examination of the proposed incorporation of social media as an important Resource for collective action and the organization of contemporary social movements.

Resource Mobilization for community-managed rural water systems: Evidence from Ghana, Kenya, and Zambia
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2017Co-Authors: Nikki Behnke, Tori Klug, Ryan Cronk, Katherine F. Shields, Kristen Lee, Emma Kelly, Greg Allgood, James K BartramAbstract:Abstract Rural water systems in sub-Saharan Africa are often managed by community water committees. For this to be sustainable, committees must be able to mobilize Resources for operation and maintenance, repair, and/or upgrade of their water systems. Some committees collect a monetary water fee, but other options are available. Three hundred twenty-one interviews, focus group discussions and mapping activities were conducted with committees, community members, and post-construction support providers in 18 rural communities in Ghana, Kenya, and Zambia. We identified several non-monetary and non-fee mechanisms, including Mobilization of personal and community assets, community institutions, and community labor. We found that several factors contribute to community decisions about Resource Mobilization, including season, community economic characteristics, and community institutions. We recommend that enabling actors adapt their rural water supply projects and programs to be more inclusive of these other Resource Mobilization options.

The effects of low internal integration between purchasing and operations on suppliers’ Resource Mobilization
Journal of Purchasing and Supply Management, 2012Co-Authors: Chris Ellegaard, Christian KochAbstract:A company that suffers from low internal integration between corporate functions performs worse than its more integrated competitors, leaving it in a position of competitive disparity. This paper reports on an investigation of the effects of internal integration between purchasing and operations on the Mobilization of supplier Resources. Low internal integration generates uncoordinated operations and purchasing behaviors that negatively affect supplier Resource Mobilization. We find that the lack of operations support for eight major purchasing initiatives in a construction company negatively affects supplier Resource Mobilization, resulting in poor exchange outcomes for the suppliers. Furthermore, different types of uncoordinated behaviors affect suppliers’ Resource Mobilization in diverse negative ways. Based on the results, we offer a categorization of diverse types of supplier Mobilization activities and offer several managerial implications for both buyers and suppliers.
