Abstract: Nonprofit organizations are a significant sector of the economy and they fill many needs unmet by for-profit organizations. Not-for-profit organizations are generally defined as associations, charities, and other voluntary organizations formed to further cultural, educational, human service, religious, or public service objectives (Bottiglieri, et al., 2011). The purpose of this paper is to provide a research framework for exploring strategic human resource management issues in nonprofit organizations. The paper makes three contributions to the research literature. First, we clarify the need for a more differentiated perspective on nonprofit organizations, especially with regards to studying strategic human resource management issues. Second, we identify the challenges of studying strategic human resource management issues in the nonprofit sector using the same research lens which has been developed for studying forprofit organizations. And third, we identify a research agenda for studying strategic human resource management incorporating the differentiated nonprofit organization typology.
