Coping in a Constrained Economy: Survival Strategies of Nonprofit Human Service Organizations
Abstract
Direct service providers are faced with enormous challenges in today's
volatile political and economic climate. A comparative study of human
service organizations in California, Michigan, and North Carolina was
undertaken to explore the strategies adopted to maintain mission
integrity. One hundred twelve (112) organizations participated in the
study. It was hypothesized that multiple strategies would be used and
these would differ by geographic location and principal program focus.
Results showed that a broad range of internal and external strategies
were used, most meeting or exceeding expectations, but task and
processing demands appeared to dictate the choice of strategies to
achieve both effectiveness and efficiency. (PsycINFO Database Record
