This paper takes the relationship between executive pay and performance in NPOs as the starting point to investigate how executive payperformance sensitivity varies with political factors,and based on a sample of the foundation disclosed by China social organizations network from 2005 to 2013,we empirically examine the influence of political factors on executive payperformance sensitivity in NPOs It is found that there is a strong sensitivity between executive pay and performance in the China foundation,and this phenomenon is more obvious in foundations without political connections and which have grassroots party organizations Further research shows that,compared with nonpublic foundation,public foundations have higher executive payorganizational performance sensitivity The nature of the foundation has very limited impact on executive payperformance sensitivity
