Abstract

This article evaluates the impact of legal change on non-profit and for-profit organizations providing home care services mandated in the Israeli Long-Term Care Insurance Law, through the lens of neo-institutional and resource dependency theories. The findings of the study, which was conducted over a ten-year period, revealed that the distinctions between organizations in the two sectors are blurring due to coercive, mimetic, and normative isomorphism. Considerable dependence on government funding provided for in the law forces these organizations to adopt behavior that conforms to government policies and standards for service provision. Moreover, the growing tendency toward mimetic behavior and the increasing proportion of professional workers in both sectors causes for-profit and non-profit organizations to adopt similar bureaucratic behavior and organizational structures.
