Nonprofit Decision Making and Resource Allocation: The Importance of Membership Preferences, Community Needs, and Interorganizational Ties.
Markham, William T.; Johnson, Margaret A.; Bonjean, Charles M.
Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly, v28 n2 p152-84 Jun 1999

The most important determinants of resource allocation are members' perceptions of the severity of problems and their willingness to work in problem areas. (JOW)
