【 摘 要 】

The purpose of this inquiry will be to address the ways and means in which a mental health organization;;s administrators interact with the environment and how it effects the operation of the organization. This inquiry will further serve as an exploratory case study investigation of a local community mental health organization and will identify the following three environmental - organizational attributes: 1) different types of interchange (different resources being exchanged); 2) the different organizations involved in these exchanges; and 3) the identification and purposes of organizational components, or boundary spanning units and positions (roles), that serve to link the focal organization with members of its organization set.
