lncentive- Based Management for Nonprofit Organizations

Abstract

Nonprofit organizations should consider using incentive-based management programs so long as such programs are studied thoughtfully, implemented carefully, and closely tied to other important management practices. The article describes the expe¬riences of one nonprofit organization, Citizens' Scholarship Foun¬dation of America (CSFA), in successfully conducting a staff incentive program during the past several years. The author also reports briefly on the results of a recent survey among CSFA staff involved in the incentive plan, outlining the benefits of such a program in helping the organization to reach its objectives. Finally, the author addresses potential pitfalls to avoid in imple-menting an effective staff incentive program.
