dc.description.abstract | Finnish third-sector organizations (TSOs) have typically been characterized by
ideal-typical features such as uniting people as members, working voluntarily,
promoting civic ideals, being independent of the state, and having a clearly
nonprofit orientation. However, recent decades have shown an increasing
tendency among TSOs to adopt characteristics from the public and private sectors,
i.e., to become hybrids. In order to better understand this phenomenon, this
dissertation scrutinizes Finnish youth TSOs operating nationwide and asks how
they define their missions, tasks, and reasons for existence as part of the changing
third sector and as actors in the Finnish field of youth work.
The analysis is based on a mixed-methods approach and four different data
sets: a survey, websites, annual reports, and interviews. It describes the multifaceted field of Finnish youth organizations by dividing them into five classes: interest,
activist, leisure time, religious, and social reinforcement and youth education organizations. These youth TSOs legitimate themselves most often to their sponsors
or members; their arguments are based on moral justification common to the
youth work field as a whole, where the TSOs play complementary roles in enabling
civic participation opportunities for young people, reaching out to specific target
groups, or showing effectiveness in a managerialistic manner. The organizations
frame young participants as agents, learners, targets of support, customers or as
being in need of facilitation. These roles also reflect differences in how much influence young people can actually have in the organization itself.
An interpretation of the results using the framework of institutional logics
theory shows that Finnish youth TSOs apply six institutional logics in their descriptions of what they do and why. State, market, and professional logics are commonly used, which shows the inherent hybridity of these organizations. The logics of
community, of democracy, and the logic of ideology and altruism introduced here
as a new institutional logic, include elements underlining the characteristic features
of these organizations as distinct from the other two sectors. These three institutional logics also enable young people to play key roles in the TSO. The last chapter of the dissertation introduces a self-assessment tool for TSOs to analyze which
of the various institutional logics are applied in them. | en |
