Intraorganizational and interorganizational effects on corporate actor intervention in national energy policy making, 1977-1980
Two sets of organizational factors - internal structure and control, and interorganizational linkages and network position - are hypothesized to affect corporate actor intervention into its environment. Using data from more than 150 non-government organizations involved in the national energy policy-making domain, ordinary least-squares regression analyses were performed to assess the net effects of boundary-spanning incumbent power, organization influence reputation, dispersion of interests across a policy domain, organization size and type, interorganizational communication linkages, and interorganizational network position, on levels of involvement and active participation in 60 distinct national energy policy events occurring during the Carter Administration period. Analysis indicates that extraorganizational factors, specifically energy-domain issues, prior policy experience, and interorganizational network position provide important net effects on levels of participation. Internal organizational structural factors fail to provide net significant incremental improvements in the models tested. Suggestions for future research are provided.
