N2 - This article presents research findings on the behavior of executives in community serviceorganizations in Israel. The uniqueness of the study is that it collected the data by observing onedirectors’ behavior over the course of their entire workday. Findings were compared to thoseregarding executive behavior in other sectors-social welfare, educational, and business-from an international perspective. Similar to the behavior of their counterparts in other sectors, our directors’ behavior was characterized by ad-hoc planning and “proficient superficiality,” and greater effort devoted to internal processes than the external organizational environment.The conclusions point out administrative as well as methodological implications of the findings in their application to the analysts of social welfare agencies.
