Abstract: The end result of any service provision program is critically dependent on the preferences of the managers of service provision agencies. The theoretical concept of managerial utility provides a potentially useful device for examining the impact of managerial preferences on service provision, but the value of this approach in practice is limited by a paucity of information on the actual nature of managerial preferences. This article presents results from a recent study that provide an empirical basis for constructing a model of agency managerial behavior. These results apply specifically to services provided to the elderly.
