Stakeholder relations in the regional state administration : case Central Finland Regional Environment Centre
Abstract: The aim of this study was to shed some light on the communication and relationships between public sector organizations and their stakeholders. This was pursued through a review of relevant literature on public sector organizations, stakeholder thinking and public relations from a relational perspective, as well as an empirical study. The latter consisted of a qualitative case study, focused on the Central Finland Regional Environment Centre, and included two phases, a preliminary research and a main study. The objectives of the empirical part were two: 1) identifying the main stakeholders of the Environment Centre and 2) interviewing them to clarify stakeholders’ perceptions about the communication and relationships, as well as to receive suggestions for the communication and the relationship in the new state authority, the Central Finland Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment. To meet these objectives four research questions were formed. The data from the main study, which consisted of eight semi-structured interviews, were analyzed by the means of a qualitative content analysis using both deductive and inductive approaches. The results of the preliminary study show that the main stakeholders of the Environment Centre belong to ten groups including 269 stakeholder organizations and contacts specified by name as well as 46 generic contacts. The findings of the main study indicate that the main communication preferences of the interviewed stakeholders include openness and up-to-date communication. The most preferred communication means and forms are personal contacts. All in all, the interviewed stakeholders are quite satisfied with their relationship with the Environment Centre, which equals a grade 8 in the Finnish school system. However, despite the overall good or average estimation of the relationship, many suggestions for improvement and critical comments were presented too. Issues and aspects of the communication and the relationship that the interviewed stakeholders feel could be improved in the new state authority include e.g. media relations, customer orientation, accessibility to and usability of research, studies and other information produced, as well as cooperation between different actors both within the environmental administration as well as on a wider level, between different sectors. Consequently, it was suggested that future research on stakeholder relations of public sector organizations could focus on cooperation and interrelations between various stakeholder groups by incorporating a network perspective.
