Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine if the presence and perceived effectiveness of management control systems in nursing departments are contingent on the variables identified in the reviewed literature, The contingent variables investigated were the size of the hospital, the number of services offered, and whether it was profit or not-for-profit. The four control mechanisms examined were; control over inventory and capital equipment, and the staffing and monitoring of nursing care hours. Nursing directors were asked to indicate the effectiveness of each of these management control systems
