Tóm tắt

An empirical study of resource?sharing practices was conducted in a state population of 49 community colleges. Resource sharing included voluntary, versus mandated or required, practices that were defined as management practices used to solve fiscal problems and increase productivity. Persons with first?line budget authority were identified, and 168 individuals responded to a 9?item resource?sharing inventory. Results indicated that resource sharingoccurred frequently, and facilities were shared more than other resources. Resource sharing was a response to short?term needs in academic departments. Attitudes about resource sharing wereviewed as incentives, and logistics was a deterrent to resource sharing. Greater monetary efficiency was a benefit of resource sharing, which was perceived to have occurred to a great extent in these colleges. A series of independent variables was found not to be related to resource sharing, but the location of the academic program, such as liberal arts, technical departments, and support services, was statistically related to resource sharing. Whereas resource sharing was not associated with strategic planning because resource sharing is a practice that solves short?term fiscal problems, simplifying logistics by reducing bureaucracy and streamlining financial and personnel procedures offers the potential for resource sharing to be used in strategic and longer range planning in community colleges. © 1998 Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
