The Governance of Not-for-Profit Organizations (original) (raw)

The study investigates the operational behaviors of two types of nonprofit organizations—religious nonprofits (RNPs) and secular nonprofits (SNPs)—in comparison with for-profit (FP) firms within the healthcare sector. By analyzing employee compensation structures, the authors aim to understand how these organizations reflect their respective objective functions and the implications of their governance models in mixed industries like hospitals. Supported by various grants and previous studies, the findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the incentives that drive managerial behavior in both nonprofit and for-profit healthcare providers.
