Myron D. Fottler

There has been little previous research on the determinants of the effec(tiveness of health care administrators. This research gap pertains to *'irtuallv all health care areas but is especiallv germane to the long-term care field, which has only recently witnessed professional growth in nursing home associations and administrator licensing, education, and ethical behavior. The present studvi evxamines the effectivenes of nursing home administrators according to economic' criteria (costs and profits per patient per dav). Multiple regression analhsis was used to determine structure and process variables related to those effectiveness measures. Results indicate that process variables which are controllable bi, administrators themselves account for the bulk of the variabilitY in nursing home administrator efftctiveness.
