Based on extensive surveys and interviews with members of three influential and distinctive organizations in the United States - The American Legion, AARP and MoveOn - the authors reconceptualize collective action as a phenomenon in which technology enhances people's ability to cross boundaries in order to interact with one another and engage with organizations. By developing a theory of Collective Action Space, Bimber, Flanagin and Stohl explore how people's attitudes, behaviors, motivations, goals and digital media use are related to their organizational involvement. They find that using technology does not necessarily make people more likely to act collectively, but contributes to a diversity of 'participatory styles', which hinge on people's interaction with one another and the extent to which they shape organizational agendas. In the digital media age, organizations do not simply recruit people into roles, they provide contexts in which people are able to construct their own collective experiences. 410 0$aCommunication, society and politics. 606 $aLobbying$zUnited States 606 $aPressure groups$zUnited States 606 $aAssociations, institutions, etc$zUnited States 615 0$aLobbying 615 0$aPressure groups 615 0$aAssociations, institutions, etc. 676 $a322.40973 686 $aPOL040000$2bisacsh 700 $aBimber$b Bruce A$g(Bruce Allen),$f1961-$01487571 702 $aFlanagin$b Andrew J. 702 $aStohl$b Cynthia 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790302903321 996 $aCollective action in organizations$93823911 997 $aUNINA
