Categoric variables were constructed from the data of the two Surveys: forms of learning; methods and extents of transmission; strengths of links in networks; specialist/generalist VOs; inward/outward-looking VOs; dynamic/static/divergent VOs; degrees of incongruence in LVOs; leadership; participation in voluntary activities. England and WalesScotland IndividualsGroupsNationalSubnationalAdultsVoluntary organizations National Survey: a sample of 31 local voluntary organisations and their members and staff, if any, together with observers who knew the organisations studied, and relevant background and history from 1989 to 1993. Locality survey: voluntary organisations in Retford, Nottinghamshire in 1993. Cross-sectional (one-time) study Purposive selection/case studies1. National Survey: A typology of LVOs was constructed, based on 343 possible characteristics, by forming a 7 by 7 matrix with axes of organisational and personal objectives, and associating with it 7 features of LVOs such as size, staff, funds and area served. A sample of 31 case studies was chosen to illustrate primary and secondary objectives not once but several times. After the satisfaction of these requirements, successful and more economically accessible LVOs were preferred. 2. Locality Survey: The town of Retford was chosen so as to be rich enough to yield fruitful results and small enough to be within the scope of the resources and time available. A few of the LVOs in the National Survey were in Retford.
