- Researches argue collaborative governance practices for integrated services in the public sector are impacted primarily by communication and the need to build professional relationships in order to engage and work in partnership (Emerson et al. 2012; Baker, 2002; De Vries, Bakker-Pieper, and Oostenveld 2010; Paul, 2015). Furthermore, collaborating with multiple stakeholders "across boundaries," and "boundary crossing" is beneficial to build consensus and accomplish goals; however, due to lack of clear definition, inconsistent use, organizational infrastructure as well as limited policies and procedures, collaborative governance faces challenges in the public sector. This study advances the understanding of how collaborative governance impacts integrated services in a public sector and identifies communication and professional relationships within an integrated system as common best practices to improving efforts. This study also encompasses a multidimensional perspective for identifying best practices for implementation and scale of integrated services that serve the public at large. In order to encompass a multidimensional perspective, it is essential to cross departmental boundaries and work across boundaries to support a collaborative governance environment and gain respective knowledge on how to best improve efforts of public services throughout Los Angeles County (LACo).

- Description:
- This research project proposal has been designed to analyze the effect that transformational and transactional leadership approaches have on information communication networks within nonprofit organizations. Through time, nonprofits have become a crucial part of the public sector because of the supplemented services not provided within the public sector. To expand on this research proposal, this paper will cover a project introduction and nonprofit sector background, a review of the literature, discuss the research gap and aim, and the methodology used to conduct this research. Research exploring leadership approaches in the public sector is limited, especially for nonprofit organizations. More commonly, studies analyze the effects of leadership approaches on specific outcomes, but is limited in regards to communication. To further explore this topic, a comparative case study, using qualitative methodologies, will be used. This research study proposal will explore the relationship between leadership approaches and information communication networks. Semi-structured interviews and group observations will be the primary tools to collect data for this study. To conclude our study, we will analyze the expected results and its application to the public and nonprofit sector.
