Nonprofit Organizational Effectiveness: Contrasts Between Especially Effective and Less Effective Organizations.
Abstract
How do key stakeholders of nonprofit organizations (NPOs)
judge the effectiveness of their organization? Are the judgments of
stakeholders similar, and how are board effectiveness and the use of
practitioner-identified correct management procedures related to
judgments of effectiveness? This study focuses on a subset of
especially effective and less effective NPOs from a larger sample
and finds that the especially effective have more effective boards
(as judged by various stakeholder groups), have boards with higher
social prestige, use more practitioner-identified correct management
procedures, and use more change management strategies. Practical
implications discussed include adopting more correct management
procedures and change management strategies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
