Without unique missions to serve a public purpose, nonprofits have no justification to exist. Much of the focus on mission in scholarship centers on concerns with mission drift and pressures from external actors. Yet internal dynamics may be just as important in developing a common mission and the coherent activities pursuing it. This research identifies the structural forces shaping organizational

Beyond assumptions of altruism: Examining nonprofit work with a job fit framework and response surface analysis Nonprofit Management and Leadership (IF 2.627) Pub Date : 2024-01-12 Carrie Oelberger
Scholars frequently investigate how nonprofit employees, as a group, differ from public or for-profit employees. However, there is less focus on how motivational profiles vary among nonprofit employees. Particularly as the nonprofit sector professionalizes, the reasons why people seek nonprofit employment are diversifying. Recent work highlights a more individualized understanding of employee motivation

Identifying key barriers to nonprofit organizations' adoption of technology innovations Nonprofit Management and Leadership (IF 2.627) Pub Date : 2023-12-29 Marie-E. Godefroid, Ralf Plattfaut, Björn Niehaves
Despite substantial innovations in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) that could benefit non-governmental organizations (NGOs), NGOs are not using ICT yet to their full potential – especially compared to the ICT use in the private sector. Such behavior appears counterintuitive as one would expect NGOs to use every available resource to further their important mission. However, reservations

Philanthropic innovations: A historical analysis of Foundations' adoption, implementation, and diffusion of program-related investment (PRI) strategies Nonprofit Management and Leadership (IF 2.627) Pub Date : 2023-12-06 Peter C. Weber
Philanthropic foundations are credited with being sources of social innovation. Yet, most scholarship focuses on foundations funding innovations rather than adopting innovative philanthropic practices. Program-related investments (PRIs) serve as lenses to understand how philanthropic innovations are adopted, implemented, and diffused. Scholars describe PRIs as innovations broadening grantmaking practices

Leader hypocrisy refers to perceptions of a leader's word–deed misalignment. This study explores the mechanisms underlying the relationship between leader hypocrisy and psychological withdrawal as an indicator of nonprofit employees' disengagement from work. We propose that leader hypocrisy indirectly relates to employees' psychological withdrawal behaviors by influencing the quality of their relationships

Unrestricted funding and nonprofit capacities: Developing a conceptual model Nonprofit Management and Leadership (IF 2.627) Pub Date : 2023-10-19 Pamala Wiepking, Arjen de Wit
Unrestricted or flexible funding practices are increasingly popular among funders. There is initial empirical support for the assumption that fewer donor-imposed restrictions on funding have positive outcomes for nonprofit capacities, including the ability to better deal with external shocks such as presented by the COVID-19 crisis. However, academic literature on the consequences of donor-imposed

Understanding nonprofit leader engagement and turnover: A story of job demands and resources Nonprofit Management and Leadership (IF 2.627) Pub Date : 2023-10-04 Benjamin J. Thomas
Nonprofit groups deeply rely on their executives to fulfill a demanding, often isolated, role leading the group in carrying out its mission. Although much research has focused on the effects of these leaders and great investment has been made in developing a talent pool to fill nonprofit leadership needs, almost no research has explored the experiences of nonprofit executives themselves. For nonprofit

The role of board skepticism in strengthening nonprofit performance measurement and accountability Nonprofit Management and Leadership (IF 2.627) Pub Date : 2023-09-23 Vincent Bruni-Bossio, Melanie Kaczur
We interviewed 21 board chairs of nonprofits with social missions to ask how their organizations assess performance when they cannot adequately track the intangible work by employees or the outcomes of this work. We find that the uncertainty around tracking performance data makes boards skeptical of their ability to assess performance in these organizations. Our study suggests that the skepticism of

Donors' giving decisions toward nonprofit commercialization: Do commercial form and intensity matter? Nonprofit Management and Leadership (IF 2.627) Pub Date : 2023-07-17 ChiaKo Hung, Ben Suykens
Commercialization is an established yet contested practice in the nonprofit sphere. Whereas proponents point to increased financial stability, others warn about crowding out of individual donations. This ambiguity raises the question: Under which configuration is nonprofit commercialization (un)likely to uphold the promise of financial stability? Drawing on institutional theory, we conduct a survey

This paper explores issues concerning endowment building, endowment management, and the general perceptions of endowment through the views of leaders of nonprofits that built an endowment. We find that endowment is generally considered meaningful to nonprofit leaders when it provides at least 5% of an organization's annual budget. The initiative for building endowment largely comes from boards of directors

Mission statements are important for the performance of nonprofit organizations (NPOs), but many of them are not concrete enough to influence nonprofit performance and prior research has studied the concreteness of mission statements in two divergent ways. We investigated how the two aspects of concrete mission statement influence internal and external stakeholders of NPOs differently and affect nonprofit

Drawing on previous conceptualizations of inspiration and the motivational theory of role modeling, this study reports on the development and testing of a donor inspiration framework in a peer-to-peer giving context. This framework proposes that individuals become inspired by a source, most likely peer fundraisers, to donate for a particular social cause. Based on observable donor data (N = 8697) that

Despite the nonprofit sector's significance in economic contribution, workforce, and social impact, it faces unique innovation hurdles and is not well positioned for sustainability, growth, and prosperity.

In this paper, we suggest a research agenda based on a review of literature exploring gender in nonprofit organizations (NPOs) published in key field-specific journals in nonprofit studies. The literature review shows that gender is often included as an unproblematized variable and that few studies focus on organizational processes that (re)produce gender inequalities and promote gender equality in

Literature examining the impact of nonprofit financing and operational characteristics on donations is replete with studies that yield mixed and/or contradictory results.

Social enterprises follow the dual mission of achieving social aims as well as attaining financial sustainability and therefore elude easy categorization into either a non-profit or for-profit organization. Consequently, social enterprises might struggle with their image since external stakeholders (e.g., job applicants and customers) could hold back their support when the enterprise's dual aims seem

The effects of commercialization on nonprofit efficiency and the moderating roles of government funding and organizational size Nonprofit Management and Leadership (IF 2.627) Pub Date : 2022-11-03 ChiaKo Hung, Jessica Berrett
Despite concerns raised by some scholars, recent publications have demonstrated that commercialization brings multiple benefits to nonprofits. However, while discussion of the positive effect of commercialization on nonprofit efficiency is on the rise in the literature, very few studies have empirically assessed the relationship. This study fills this gap by examining whether commercialization contributes
