In recent years，as our government accelerated the transition to “service type” government，more and more urban community social organizations have been carrying on some of the functions stripped by the government and taking on the functions of providing public services. Among them，the mass team based community social organizations established by community residents rose rapidly by virtue of their small size，low entry threshold，deep commitment to local communities，and gradually played an important role in community public services，grassroots autonomy of community residents，and protection of community residents’ rights. But in the current policy environment，the relationship between community social organizations and the government has not been completely straightened out. The organization’s own development is not fully mature. There are many problems in mass team based community social organizations, such as relatively single resource acquisition channels，uneven organizational service capabilities，and relatively weak competitiveness，which are finally reflected in the great development predicaments faced by the organizations after a period of development. From the perspective of resource dependence theory，this paper explores the deep causes of the mass team based community social organizations’ development predicaments as the starting point，and makes a comparative study of typical cases of organizations in urban communities. It is found that under the large difference in the degree of resource dependence, the failure of the organization’s management of internal and external resources is the crux of the organization’s development. Based on this we put forward the strategies to improve the survival and development of mass team based community social organizations from the two aspects of the organization itself and government policy guidance.
