Not-For-Profit Provision of Public Services Author info | Abstract | Publisher info | Download info | Related research | Statistics Patrick Francois (CentER, Tilburg University, CMPO, Bristol and University of British Columbia)
Additional information is available for the following
registered author(s):
Not-for-profit firms are greatly over-represented in the childcare, medical care, education and care for the aged sectors where service providing workers, as well as purchasers, seem to care about the level or quality of service being provided. Since all individuals who care about service levels receive non-excludable benefits, these services have a public good element. Such care can be used to motivate employees to perform tasks beyond their strict job description. But such care only motivates effort if workers believe it affects the final level of provision.
