Management training and development (MTD) is frequently discussed in the context of private sector organizations. However, recent examples of excellent management in nonprofits attest to MTD programs in the nonprofit sector. The MTD program conducted by the National Academy for Voluntarism (NAV), the training arm of United Way of America, is discussed in this paper. The components and philosophy of the NAV program may serve as a model for other nonprofit MTD programs. Two surveys suggest the NAV program is well received by the participants and their sponsors.

A model is proposed that tests the antecedents and the mediating effect of corporate entrepreneurship on the external environment-performance relationship within private and public sector organizations. Hypotheses were tested using data from a sample of chief executive officers in 51 private sector organizations in the United States, 141 private sector organizations in Slovenia and 134 public sector state and semi-state enterprises in Ireland. Data was analyzed using hierarchical regression analysis. The results show that dynamism and munificence effects on performance are mediated by an organization's corporate entrepreneurship in the private sector and munificence effects on performance are mediated by an organization's renewal in the public sector and that renewal must be in place to maximize the effect of munificence on performance. The results support a model that incorporates an extensive and diverse literature into a single model and helps illuminate similarities and differences of corporate entrepreneurship between the private sector and the public sector. The study shows that an integrative model and the interplay among the constructs yields new insights unavailable to single and focused approaches. It offers new insights about corporate entrepreneurship, not only as a discrete pursuit, but also as a construct that shapes and extends organizational performance.

The aim of this paper is to examine the factors that would influence the motivation and preservation of employees in private sector organizations. In this research, we will seek to determine the nature and extent of salary impact by efficiency to stimulate employees. This research project is one of the new topics that some researchers have started in recent years. The novelty of this topic consists in the inclusion of the factor of the efficiency salary. This factor is likely to have a positive impact on attracting, motivating, and retaining talent. Some of the factors already known for their impact on the motivation of competencies such as training, job security, and material and moral incentives will be adopted. It is assumed that the results of this research will have a positive impact on the motivation and preservation of employees.

Purpose This paper focuses on the relationship between leadership and work engagement (WE) in Finnish and Russian private sector organizations. The purpose of this paper is to analyze how Finland and Russia differ in the level of WE; in the level of satisfaction with leadership and in specific components of leadership as most important antecedents for WE. Design/methodology/approach The empirical analysis of this study is based on survey data collected in Finland and Russia. The analysis focuses on 1,570 Finnish and 490 Russian private sector, full-time employees with permanent contracts, who have no managerial responsibilities. The data are analyzed using descriptive methods and binary logistic regression analysis. Findings The results show, first, that both satisfaction of leadership and WE are higher in Finland than in Russia. Second, WE in Finland is facilitated by nearly all components of leadership – both materialistic- and relationship-based – while in Russia WE is predicted by rewarding good performers and such relationship-based practices as feedback, delegating responsibility, discussing work matters, and building trust. Contrary to the hypothesis, such materialistic-based components as providing equal treatment turned out to be insignificant for WE in Russia. Practical implications Organizations should invest in leadership quality to enhance WE and thus, to get a competitive advantage. Originality/value This study adds to the limited comparative research on WE and its predictors.
