Human resource development in the non-profit sector

Abstract

In the beginning of the 21st century the social activity of the civil or non-profit organizations is becoming more and more relevant. The specifications ’civil and non-profit’ are distinguishable features from the point of their content on the bases of different approaches. The main importance of the civil/non-profit organizations is to compensate the deficiencies caused by inadequate operation of state support systems and the different pursuits of market participants. These organizations can provide the main conditions for civil self-organization and interest-enforcement processes. They can promote non-profit oriented social innovations and contribute to solving social problems. Civil/ non-profit organizations can produce and
reproduce collective goods that can increase social welfare in the society.
