Recompensar el desempeño que es difícil de medir: el sector privado sin fines de lucro
Resumen
Las organizaciones sin fines de lucro, distintas de las empresas con fines de lucro debido a las restricciones de distribución de ganancias, juegan un papel único en las economías mixtas. La investigación explora la evidencia teórica y empírica de su comportamiento e impacto.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Economía La economía es la economía.
- Estudios de la organización Estudios de la organización.
Sus antecedentes:
- El sector privado sin fines de lucro es un componente significativo y en expansión de las economías mixtas.
- Las organizaciones sin fines de lucro se caracterizan por limitaciones únicas, principalmente la prohibición de la distribución de ganancias a las partes interesadas.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Examinar el papel de las instituciones sin fines de lucro dentro de un marco económico mixto.
- Investigar las ventajas teóricas de las restricciones sin fines de lucro, particularmente en mercados con asimetría de información.
- Presentar evidencia empírica comparando el comportamiento de las organizaciones sin fines de lucro y con fines de lucro.
Principales métodos:
- Análisis teórico de las restricciones sin fines de lucro y sus implicaciones para la información al consumidor.
- Revisión y presentación de datos empíricos que comparan el comportamiento organizacional sin fines de lucro y con fines de lucro.
Principales resultados:
- Las restricciones sin fines de lucro, que impiden la distribución de ganancias, contrastan fuertemente con la capacidad de las empresas con fines de lucro para recompensar a los propietarios.
- El caso teórico sugiere que las restricciones sin fines de lucro pueden ser beneficiosas cuando los consumidores carecen de información adecuada.
- Se discute la evidencia empírica sobre las diferencias de comportamiento entre las entidades sin fines de lucro y las con fines de lucro.
Conclusiones:
- Las organizaciones sin fines de lucro cumplen una función distinta en las economías mixtas, moldeadas por sus limitaciones operativas únicas.
- La restricción en la distribución de ganancias puede mejorar la eficiencia del mercado en contextos específicos, particularmente en lo que respecta a la información al consumidor.

Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback
Self-esteem is intricately tied to our perception of competence and our ability to exert control over our lives. One of the primary sources of this perception is performance feedback — the ongoing evaluation of our actions in terms of success and failure. According to Franks and Marolla (1976), people derive self-worth from experiencing themselves as causal agents, capable of achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. This process nurtures a critical component of self-esteem: self-efficacy,...
Primary and Secondary Reinforcers
In psychology, reinforcement is a key concept in behavior modification. B.F. Skinner demonstrated this with his experiments involving rats in what is known as a Skinner box. The rats learned to press a lever to receive food, a primary reinforcer that fulfilled their innate need for nourishment.
Effective reinforcers for humans vary depending on the individual and the context. Primary reinforcers, such as food, water, sleep, shelter, and pleasure, have inherent value and satisfy basic biological...

Compensation Mechanisms
The human body employs intricate mechanisms to counteract changes in blood pH, preventing conditions like acidosis (pH < 7.35) and alkalosis (pH > 7.45). These compensatory responses aim to restore normal arterial blood pH by engaging respiratory or renal systems, depending on the source of the imbalance.
Respiratory Compensation
This mechanism addresses metabolic-induced pH imbalances by adjusting breathing rates. Respiratory compensation begins within minutes of detecting a pH...

Quantifying Work
As a system undergoes a change, its internal energy can change, and energy can be transferred from the system to the surroundings, or from the surroundings to the system.
Altruism
Altruistic behaviors are “unselfish” behaviors—those that help another individual at the expense of the individual carrying out the behavior. Despite the negative consequences for the altruistic animal, these behaviors are thought to have evolved for several reasons.
Professional Values
Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...
