Linking For-Profit and Nonprofit Executive Compensation: Salary Composition and Incentive Structures in the U.S. Hospital Industry

Research concerning executive compensation has a long history. However, most studies have been conducted on publicly traded investor-owned enterprises. Although the not-for-profit sector experienced explosive growth during the 1990s, little work has been devoted to understanding its executive compensation schemes and incentives arrangements. In the United States, recent Federal and State legislation has changed the landscape under which nonprofits must operate to avoid penalties for paying excessive compensation to its executives. Studies of compensation schemes under different organizational arrangements are limited. This paper uses the U.S. hospital industry to link the for-profit and nonprofit compensation and incentive literatures. It highlights selected for-profit executive compensation and incentive processes and suggests how some of these methods could be applied in a nonprofit setting.

林黛玉“忧患”意识的美学象征意义

里程碑式意义的《红楼梦》巨著,深蕴着清末文学巨匠曹雪芹“立志补天”的独特卓著的参与社会变革的忧患意识,林黛玉形象是这种忧患意识的主要载体。林黛玉对贾府命运前景之忧患,象征着超脱之外的积极用世;对身世之忧患,象征张扬人格的独立;对爱情之忧患,象征做定了封建礼教的叛逆;读书之忧患,象征着追求真理的“扬弃”。林黛玉形象更深刻的美学象征意义还在于:深切关注现实危机;积极参与挽救现实危机;“大厦将倾”的家族危机演示成“危如累卵”的社会危机。

Analysis of an addictions treatment system

A treatment system consisting of an assessment/referral service, a detox, a mission, a hospital recovery unit, and three recovery homes was examined using a retrospective client-tracking approach over 1 year. There were 4,187 admissions to the system accounted for by 1,522 individuals; system users tended to be males, unmarried, unemployed, and in their 30s and 40s. The best predictor of readmission to the system after treatment was prior system use. Use patterns and referral data indicated that perceived gatekeepers (i.e., detoxication and assessment services) were not consistently coordinating the system and that more socially stable clients appeared to be more likely to be involved with non-addiction specific services (i.e., medical, general counselling).
