Organizational family values and happiness in nonprofit organizations

Existing studies of individual retention in the non-profit organizational setting seem relatively silent on the significance of organizational family values and individual happiness although both concepts could improve individual commitment, better collaboration, and a propensity to perform pro-social behavior. Grounded from 32 interviews from four Indonesian non-profit organizations, this article develops the individual retention model based on organizational family values generated by management practices. The findings show that organizational family values would lead to individual happiness, resulting in individual retention. Meanwhile, non-profits could influence individual happiness and retention by generating organizational family values through their certain management practices. This model has broadened our understanding of the relations between organizational values, individual perspectives, and management practices; while also contributed to HRM practitioners in managing staff and volunteers.
