Date Issued:
1972
Summary:
This was prepared as the thesis required for the Master of Business Administration degree. Very little has been written on Board of Directors-chief paid executive relationships in voluntary membership organizations. A direct mail questionnaire was used with selected groups of national association executives and telephone cooperative managers to ascertain organization structure, formality of organizational tools, personal characteristics of the executive and Board, and the executive's perception of his working environment. Annual percentage salary increase was used as the distinguishing criteria. Secondary research concentrated on common practice and theory regarding the above elements of organization. The formality of organizational tools, the chief executive's attitude toward his employees and his position, and the executive's perception of his job and of his image were found to significantly affect the Board-Manager relationship in both types of organizations studied. National associations and telephone cooperatives were affected differently by the other organizational characteristics studied.
