To explore the elements that improve the quality and the performance of partnerships between youth care organisations and local sport clubs, we take the perspective of the whole network.
To investigate which personal factors, institutional factors and factors relating the organisation of the partnership determine the performance of the partnership, associations between the occurrence of the different factors and the performance of the partnership will be explored in Atlas.ti.
Consequently, the participants will be asked about personal and organisational factors that might influence the quality and performance of the partnership, and factors related to the organisation of the partnership that may help to deal with personal and organisational differences.
These tables and summaries will represent the frequency participants mention specific factors in the partnership between the youth care organisation and the local sports clubs, and what the participants perceive as the performance of the partnership.
A fourth element of the codebook will be the perceived performance of the partnership.
The performance of the partnership was critical to improving biodiversity conservation.
Most studies investigating the factors that influence the performance of the partnership operationalise this performance as the perceived performance by the participants.
There are personal and organisational factors that may frustrate or strengthen the quality and the performance of the partnership [ 20, 49].
Personal factors of the people involved in the partnership that influence the partnership are, for instance, different attitudes towards the collaboration, different experience with participation in partnerships and different levels of self-efficacy (i.e. the feeling that they are able to influence the coordinated actions and the performance of the partnership).
It is also important to assess the performance of the partnerships throughout the life of the project through a formal process and to address issues as they arise.
