The Development of Governance Dimensions for the Economic Affairs Oriented Non-Profit Organizations

[[abstract]]Corporate governance currently is the most important issue for running businesses. To give an impetus to this subject, Executive Yuan has formed a task team called ?Project of reforming Corporate Governance,? and has established the ?Action Plan & Guiding Policy of Reinforcement for Corporate Governance.? In these specific practices, management of non-profit organizations (NGOs, non-government organizations) is scheduled as a long-term goal. This paper to demonstrate the governing model is focused on seven non-profit economic affairs organizations founded based upon the Act described above. This paper via a questionnaire to analyze the internal governance operating factors. In this case, four groups are classified: staffs, members of board, administration organizations and councilors and scholars. Analysis is made through four major constructs: the board, executive officers, steak holders, and administration institutions. Operating governance factors are obtained from Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) Results from this paper show that: Overall speaking, ?establishing mission and strategy for the organization? and ?discipline and cordial? from executive offices and ?effective supervision? from the board are key factors to the governance of a economic affairs oriented non-profit organization. Specifically, in the construct of the board, each class addresses ?effective supervision? as the key; in the construct of high-level managers, ?establishing mission and strategy for the organization? and ?discipline and cordial? are the main issues; in the construct of steak holders, the factors are evenly weighed which shows that three factors are equally important to each class. Finally, in the construct of administration, administration organizations specially address on ?Enhancement of relative regulations and acts?, and the others mainly focus upon the factor of ?practice of supervision.
