¡§An Exploration of the Relationships among Organizational Climate, Organizational Identification and Organizational Effectiveness of the Non-Profit Organization.¡¨ ¡§A Study on the Association of Collecting Benevolence, in Taiwan.¡¨ Summary Spontaneously, several nameless workers instituted the ACB (The Association of Collecting Benevolence). The ACB is not a religious organization and has no relation with famous international organizations. There is neither religious leader nor celebrities. It is quite difficult for the ACB to get financial aid from any companies. Every penny within the organization comes from members¡¦ meager salary. It lasts 20 years to dig and help the orphan ignored by our society. In the end of the year 2005, The ACB won the National Award for Public Welfare. How comes the excellent organizational effectiveness? This study presents itself with organizational climate, organizational identification, organizational effectiveness and personal background as independent variables, along with the experience of non-profit organizational administration and practices. It aims to explore: 1. The relationship between organizational climate and organizational identification. 2. The relationship between personal background and organizational identification. 3. The relationship between organizational identification and organizational effectiveness. 4. The relationship between organizational climate and organizational effectiveness. 5. The relationship between personal background and organizational effectiveness. In this study, questionnaire sampling was purposefully chosen from The ACB in Taiwan of the non-profit organization. The valid sample size was 177. Through the process of descriptive statistical analysis, analysis of correlation and test of significance, one-way factor analysis of variance, independent-sample T test, reliability test, the research findings suggest that: 1. There was a significant correlation between each dimension of organizational climate and organizational identification. 2. There was a significant correlation between each dimension of organizational identification and organizational effectiveness. 3. There was a significant correlation between each dimension of organizational climate and organizational effectiveness. 4. There was a significant but slight correlation between each dimension of age and organizational identification and organizational effectiveness. 5. There was a significant correlation between the length of an individual¡¦s working experience and organizational identification; the longer the individual, the greater the organizational identification. Nevertheless, there was no correlation between the length of an individual¡¦s working experience and organizational effectiveness. 6. There was a significant difference between organizational identification and the opposite sex; that is, the female organizational identification outnumbers the male. It is all the same between organizational effectiveness and the opposite sex. 7. There was no significant difference not only between status and organizational identification but also between status and organizational effectiveness. 8. There was no significant difference between educational background and organizational identification. Nevertheless, there was a significant difference between educational background and organizational effectiveness; that is, the higher the educational background, the more the organizational effectiveness. 9. There was no significant difference not only between individual¡¦s career and organizational identification but also between individual¡¦s career and organizational effectiveness. Key words: organizational climate, organizational identification, organizational effectiveness, non-profit organization.

The raison d¡¦être for non-profit organizations (NPO) is to promote its ideas in hoping to change the society. NPOs pursue the goals that benefit the public, and communicate and market its missions through various channels, thus can be considered as a branch of ¡¥social marketing.¡¦ However, as a member of the mundane world, however supreme its ideals may be, from the perspective of symbolic interactionism and Irving Goffman¡¦s dramaturgy, NPOs inevitably face the same reality like any other organizations ¡V the gap between ideas and practices, the contrast between front-stage and back-stage, and the seemingly irrelevance but virtually two sides of one coin between seriousness and ludicrousness. This study uses two small NPOs as the context for research and the field for participant observation. The research adopts ethnographically-oriented participant observation as its methodology approach. Taking ¡¥social marketing¡¦ as a contrast, it uses dramaturgy, social representation theory, and symbolic interactionism to sneak into the process of human interaction under the sacred umbrella of NPOs¡¦ missions. The results indicate the following points: 1.During the process of idea practicing, ideals have to compromise with practices, and a balance between the two has to be met; 2.Although the participants of NPOs¡¦ activities appear to be supportive to NPOs, they may actually be attracted by the activities itself (not the ¡¥mission¡¦), or even worse ¡V they do not really care about what NPOs intend to do; 3.It appears that volunteers come forward to help marketing activities because they identify with the NPOs; however, very often they are being attracted by their own interest and/or ¡¥guan-xi¡¦; 4.Full-time workers are responsible for daily operation of the NPOs, and therefore have more knowledge about the organization. Although they are on behalf of their organizations and thus their ideals, they still need to practically make their livings while also look for opportunities for self-fulfilling. 5.Under the guidance of their missions, NPOs also face challenge to survive, and have to interact and communicate with the public under the framework of daily life.

A Study of the Relationships Among Employees' Personality Trails, Organizational Commitment and Job Involvement in Non-Profit Organizations. Since Taiwan has rescinded martial law, the Non-Profit Organizations (NPOs) are blustery, vigorous development, regardless of all has the obvious growth in quantity or in the social influence. How to maintain the good organization achievements in multitudinous NPOs? Makes good use of the management concept and the management technology should be indispensable. The social welfare organization belongs to the crowd service work, also is the manpower highly crowded occupation. If they do not have fully the manpower, the work is difficult to carry out, and then will affect the service quality which provides. Therefore, regarding the human resources integrity plan and the management is extremely important in the NPOs. The research motive is to discuss how will the social welfare organization organize suitable ¡§the employee¡¨ to place on the suitable seat in order to sufficiently display function, and how will the employees¡¦organization mission and the organizational commitment affect job involvement. The anticipation findings might take the superintendent in the future in the human resources policy the reference. The target of this study is the members of the Non-Profit Organizations¡¦(NPO) employees in Taiwan. The study is focused on the relations between the personality traits ,organizational commitment and job involvement of the institute.

The result shows that the Reliability and Validity of the study method is efficient. The statistical method includes the description analysis, factor analysis, reliability analysis,the different analysis, the correlation analysis, and stepwise regression analysis, the research result mainly include four followings: 1.Different individual attribute employees have the part differences on personality traits, job involvement, job satisfaction and organization commitment. 2.The personality traits and job involvement have extremely positive correlation; the job involvement and personality traits have extremely positive correlation; the job involvement and organizationcommitment have extremely positive correlation. 3.The factor of influence job involvement is personality traits; the fators of influence organization commitment is personality traits; the factor of job involvement is organization commitment. 4.Organization commitment have mediating effect between the Job involvement and personality traits.

The question of how to enhance viability is ever present in the minds of leaders of Non Profit Organizations. By using a methodological pluralism approach involving concepts in organisational learning, appreciative inquiry, systems thinking and the Viable Systems Model, this study investigates the capacity for learning in five Non Profit Organizations and links this capacity to their viability. A case is established through a review of literature that only organizations that adopt a generative learning posture, can survive in times of great change and contextual turbulence. The study, which followed an appreciative inquiry process, interviewed leaders from the five organizations in both semi-structured interviews as well as questionnaires. It found that while learning is taking place all the time in the organizations studied, most of that learning is lost to the organisations for lack of effective capturing, storing, disseminating and rewarding systems. These organisations also lack a clear conceptual framework to guide their learning. The learning present in most of the organizations is of a single loop nature, which is limited in not allowing the critique of the assumptions and worldviews behind the experiences of individuals in the organisation. This study therefore recommends prioritisation of collective learning within the organizations studied by investing in policies, structures and systems that support dialogue and reflective practices. To this end, the study recommends that if these organizations are to better their viability, they will have to develop a more systemic approach not only to their learning but also to their management.

The topic of my thesis is bookkeeping of the contribution-based organisation Administration of National Park Šumava in an accounting programme. Accounting represents a system of information including operation of business entity in financial statements, i.e. in monetary units. Accounting should provide an accurate and thorough image of the economical aspect of the business entity, i.e. its real property and financial situation.

With the adoption of neo-liberal policies and the decline in social welfare, non-profit organizations have been increasingly integrated into public service provision. Such changes raise questions regarding formal policies and access for marginalized populations, no more so than in disaster settings as formal disaster management of sexual health services are still vague. This study identifies the role of non-profit organizations in providing public health and social services through the lens of sexual health commitments following the September 2010 Darfield Earthquake and subsequent major aftershock during February 2011 in Christchurch, New Zealand. The primary goals of this study were three fold, to delineate i) aspects of non-profit organizational culture and agency connections that contributed to the resilience of non-profit organizations by maintaining and adapting access to sexual health and associated wellbeing services over the transition from response to recovery ii) integration pathways of non-profit organizations into disaster risk reduction and iii) appropriate geographic representations of temporal vulnerability change impacting the commitments of non-profit organizations. Mixed methods were used for this study. Data were collected over a two-year period between 2013 and 2015. Data collection techniques included: i) archival research ii) surveys iii) focus groups and iv) semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data were derived from census records and qualitative data from surveys, focus groups, and interviews with non-profit and civil society practitioners. A total of thirty-six non-profit organizations, civil society partners, and agency connections participated. Results show that sexual health needs of youth, families, and migrants arriving for the rebuild, fluctuated following the earthquakes. Sexual health non-profits absorbed the shifting demands for services and supplies by leveraging government partnerships and non-profit agency connections to account for fluctuations in presenting populations, adjust service delivery methods and continue advocacy campaigns. Also, as a result of functional redundancy amongst migrant support groups and their respective agency connections, strategies of long-term advocacy commitment, co-location, and relationship building with diverse ethnic groups benefitted migrants and refugees in maintaining or accessing adequate health and wellbeing support into the recovery phase. By developing programs to increase public awareness of resources, creating engagement opportunities in vacant spaces, and bringing a united voice to authorities, non-profits captured increased social cohesion to address emergent and compounded vulnerabilities of marginalized populations. However, as the recovery progressed, some collective energy was lost. Findings indicate that non-profits operating in Christchurch prior to the earthquakes with flexible organizational structures and those that emerged after were most successful in the emergency response and early recovery. The ability to capture social cohesion resulting from the shared experience of the earthquakes and build bridges with non-profit connections or incorporate emergent populations into service delivery facilitated successful operations into recovery. Non-profits that partnered with the government were better suited for long-term recovery, when interagency collaboration returned to a more competitive state and reliance on co-production of services was reestablished as the preferred method of service delivery, based on their capacity to maintain and build linkages with civil society partners. This research adds to disaster literature and the understanding of organizational behaviors by suggesting appropriate means to assess the potential resilience of non-profit organizations post-disaster. Further, pathways of integration with disaster management are identified for various types of non-profits that contribute to sexual health and related community support services. Methods used to identify vulnerabilities of wellbeing focused non-profit organizations and model integration of culturally appropriate service delivery options into recovery planning and disaster mitigation can be applied to other high-income nations with burgeoning non-profit sectors that experience variety of hazards, in particular on the United States’ West Coast as the health care debate in the United States continues.

Non-profit organizations are an integral part of the Czech economy and important partner for the government.
