This study examines the relationship between strategic choices, human resource
management and government funding in nonprofit organizations. Drawing on the Miles
and Snow (1978) typology of generic strategies, the study explores the adaptive strategic
behaviour of nonprofit organizations, their human resource management practices, and the
impact of changes in government funding. Miles and Snow classified organizations into
four types, based on their adaptive behaviour to changes in the environment - Prospectors;
Analyzers; Defenders and Reactors. Prospectors and Analyzers exhibit better adaptive
behaviour than Defenders and Reactors.
