Trustee Motivation and Board Effectiveness
研究私立大学董事会有效性与其成员加入动机的关系，发现有效董事会成员更常出于对学校的深厚情感和认同感，并提出了基于认同程度区分董事会的新框架。
This article describes the relationship between governing boards' effective ness in private colleges and the specie factors that motivate trustees to join and serve on boards. Far more often among members of effective rather than ineffective boards, trustees' motives are institution-specific and institution-centered, springing from deep affection and a sense of connection to the college. Research results are analyzed in terms of three motivational frameworks, none of which is capable of reflecting the differ ences in motivation that distinguish members of effective boards. We offer a rudimentary new framework for differentiating boards on the basis of the extent of trustees' identification with the institution.
