Human Resources Management in Nonprofits: Taking Our Future into Our Own Hands

Abstract

The nonprofit sector is significantly behind the for-profit sector in building its next generation of leaders. Within the human resources management function of nonprofit management is the place in which organizations can begin to build the leaders needed for the best possible future of the sector. By melding the best practices from each of the nonprofit management perspectives, Social Work and Public Affairs, the nonprofit sector can take control of our destiny and create a style of management that remains in line with people-centered values but also supports efficiency and effectiveness as smart business practices.
