Abstract: Although researchers have explored the growth and impact of family-supportive policies in the business sector, there has been a curious lack of attention to the development of family-responsive policies in the nonprofit sector. This article suggests possible explanations for the dearth of such studies, reviews the existing literature, and offers directions for future research examining the kinds of work environments and policies that attract and retain high-quality employees in nonprofit organizations. Such research is critical as a growing number of workers, both men and women, are seeking ways to balance a desire for meaningful work with a wish for fuller family or personal lives.
