Abstract
This study investigates whether the public perceives nonprofit organizations as different from private for-profit and public organizations and whether introducing new performance management systems would provide positive credits to the organization. Using two randomized survey experiments on US hospitals (one with an adult sample and the other with a student sample), we replicate the study of Hvidman & Andersen (2016) in Denmark with an extension of adding a nonprofit organization cue. The results show no sectoral differences among the hospitals and no positive feedback for adopting a new performance management system.
Highlights
This study investigates whether the public perceives nonprofit organizations as different from private for-profit and public organizations and whether introducing new performance management systems would provide positive credits to the organization
Among the differences in delivery of public programs via hospitals in Denmark and the US is that the US hospital sector is dominated by nonprofit hospitals (62%); public hospitals total 20% and for-profit hospitals 18%
This study contributes to the literature in terms of empirical generalization and extension by replicating Hvidman & Andersen (2016); in other words, we report a nonprofit organization cue that was included in the Meier et al (2019) study
Summary
This study investigates whether the public perceives nonprofit organizations as different from private for-profit and public organizations and whether introducing new performance management systems would provide positive credits to the organization. Experimental subjects in the replication study rated US public hospitals no different from private hospitals. This study contributes to the literature in terms of empirical generalization and extension by replicating Hvidman & Andersen (2016); in other words, we report a nonprofit organization cue that was included in the Meier et al (2019) study.
