Originally presented at a Conference on Labor in Nonprofit Industry and Government held at Princeton University, these studies are the first to provide an economic discussion of the public sector labor market. Melvin Reder examines the effect of the absence of the profit motive on employment and wage determination in the public sector. Orley Ashenfelter and Ronald Ehrenberg estimate the elasticities of demand for various types of labor employed by state and local governments. Theoretical ideas about behavior in nonprofit industries are employed by Richard Freeman to study the higher education industry. John Burton and Charles Krider try to predict the incidence of strikes in the public sector, while Donald Frey presents a model of the behavior of school boards in hiring faculty. The magnitude of the extra wage received by unionized public employees is compared by Daniel Hamermesh to that of private unionized workers in the same occupation. Originally published in 1975.

These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Geleitwort Wirtschaftsverbande vertreten die kollektiven Interessen ihrer Mitglieder gegenuber staatlichen und anderen Institutionen. Sowohl in der wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Diskussion als auch in der Praxis gerat diese den Wirtschaftsverbanden ursprunglich zugedachte Aufgabe immer mehr in den Hintergrund: Durch verstarktes Anbieten - dividueller Leistungen sollen Mitglieder gehalten und gewonnen werden. Begrundet wird dies in der Regel damit, dass Mitglieder hochqualitative Leistungen von ihren Verbanden fordern und ein direkter Nutzenausweis bei individuellen Leistungen b- ser moglich ist als bei kollektiven Leistungen. Vernachlassigt wird bei dieser Vor- hensweise, dass Verbandsmitglieder auch hochqualitative kollektive Leistungen erw- ten. Herr Dr. Thomas Zitzmann setzt mit seiner Arbeit bei diesem aus betriebswirtschaft- cher Sicht weithin unerforschten Problemkreis der Qualitat kollektiver Leistungen von Wirtschaftsverbanden an. Er untersucht die Fragestellung, was unter der Qualitat k- lektiver Leistungen zu verstehen ist und wie diese Qualitat operationalisiert werden kann. Dem Autor gelingt es, eine theoretisch fundierte und zugleich praxisorientierte Vorgehensweise zu konzipieren, die die Fuhrung von Wirtschaftsverbanden unterst- zen kann, eine hohe Qualitat ihrer kollektiven Leistungen zu erreichen. Dabei bedient er sich eines spezifisch fur die Fragestellung entwickelten Qualitatsmodells, das die Qualitatsdimensionen personelle und institutionelle Potentiale, strategische, inf- mationsbasierte und rechtliche Potentiale, Teilprozesse der Leistungserstellung und Leistungsergebnis umfasst. Die getroffenen Handlungsempfehlungen werden mit Daten aus drei umfangreichen empirischen Untersuchungen belegt. Der Verfasser leistet mit seiner Arbeit einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Strukturierung und zum Management der Qualitat kollektiver Leistungen von Wirtschaftsverbanden. Sie beschreitet erfolgreich Neuland in der betriebswirtschaftlichen Verbandsforschung."

Due to the increasing importance of leadership, the study of servant leadership and its relationship with equity is vital for community educators, teacher-leaders, public administrators, and more. It is important to investigate the complex relationship between organizations and leadership structure in an effort to examine the intersection of how we can best improve our organizations and the populations that they serve. Cases on Servant Leadership and Equity uncovers the nuances and challenges of servant leadership experienced by diverse servant leaders. It explores how servant leaders of diverse backgrounds navigate challenges that are unique to the organizations in which they lead. Through a critical lens, servant leadership is unpacked through the eyes of leaders that are filtered by race, class, ethnicity, and gender, as well as geopolitical spaces. Covering topics such as emotional intelligence, rural teachers, and employee engagement, this case book is an indispensable reference for managers, executives, sociologists, government officials, politicians, policymakers, human resource managers, faculty and administrators in K-12 and higher education, pre-service teachers, community leaders, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

A broad review of how nonprofits, businesses, and governments work together to tackle social problems Networks for Social Impact takes a systems approach to explain how and when networks make a social impact. Michelle Shumate and Katherine R. Cooper argue that network design and management is not a one-size-fits-all formula. Instead, they show that the type of social issue, the mechanism for social impact, environment, and resources available each determine appropriate choices. Drawing on research from public administration, psychology, business, network science, social work, and communication, this book synthesizes what we know about how to best design and manage networks. It includes illustrations from thirty original case studies which describe groups of organizations addressing issues such as gender-based violence, educational outcomes, senior care, veterans' services, mental health and wellness, and climate change. Additionally, the volume examines critical issues that leaders address in creating and managing networks, including social issue analysis, network governance, securing and managing funding, dealing with power and conflict, using data effectively, and managing change. Each chapter includes tools for network leaders to use to handle these issues. This book is neither an overly idealistic, pro-collaboration account of the benefits of network approaches, nor is it a critical view of these efforts. Instead, this clear and concise volume highlights the opportunities and challenges of networks.
