Abstract
Viewing schools of social work and human service agencies as organizations striving to meet certain needs in an attempt to survive in a frequently turbulent, and sometimes hostile environment, this paper utilizes open systems and exchange theory to develop a framework for analyzing school-agency relationships. The framework is composed of two major areas: (1) a review of the dynamics underlying school-agency relationships, and (2) an evaluation of the intraorganizational, interorganizational, and environmental factors that influence the nature of the relationships between schools of social work and human service agencies. The paper concludes by presenting an overall strategy for guiding the development of school-agency relationships and discusses the organizational principles that influence its application.
