The society keeps raising the requirement for accountability. The nonprofit organizations, on one hand, have to stand up for their missions and values; on the other hand, they are encountering many obstacles, such as limited resources and augmented stress because of increased needs. In addition, all walks of life ask higher requirement for performance. By using the perspective of social impacts to understand the performance contents and predicaments of nonprofit long-term care institutions for the elderly, we use the method of purposive sampling to conduct 24 interviews consisting of core administrators, first-line supervisors or ordinary employees and elders, which are from 7 nonprofit long-term care institutions in west of Taiwan. For the results of this research, we sum up the performance contents into three dimensions and performance predicaments into four aspects. After further analyzing, this research further come up with the following conclusions and suggestions: (1) to encourage people thinking out of the concept of one-way causality of performance objectives and constructing a virtuous cycle performance mode of nonprofit long-term care institutions for the elderly; (2) to advocate our thinking out of box from “service users centred ” to “person centred”; (3) to treat foreign care workers as “human resources” instead of “manpower” , and to review the labor conditions and application strategies for them; (4) to review the current operations of public-private collaboration and to establish the collaborative partnership between the government and nonprofit organizations. |
