ABSTRACT

This study aims to explore the intersection between public administration and nonprofit organization research, particularly from the perspective of governance networks and social equity. By analyzing their synergy and interaction in terms of theory, research themes, and methodology, the study employs systems theory, network theory, organizational theory, management theory, sociology theory, and economics theory. It utilizes qualitative, quantitative, and mixed research methods through literature reviews and theoretical analyses to reveal the significance of social equity, governance networks, organizational change, and public participation in the study of public administration and nonprofit organizations. The results indicate that the collaborative relationship between public administration and nonprofit organizations in social services, policy-making, and resource allocation is crucial for advancing social equity and justice. The conclusion asserts that interdisciplinary research and collaboration not only enhance governance efficiency but also provide important theoretical and practical guidance for future public services and social development.
