Board Practices and Board Effectiveness in Local Nonprofit Organizations
Abstract
Uses interview data from staff members of 64 locally governed
nonprofit charitable organizations to investigate the relationship
between the extent to which nonprofit boards utilize prescribed
practices & stakeholder judgments of board effectiveness. A social
constructionist perspective implies that different stakeholders use
& evaluate different kinds of information in making judgments
about board effectiveness. Results suggest that there is wide
variation in the use of the prescribed board practices, judgments of
board effectiveness often differ substantially, & chief
executives' judgments of the effectiveness of their boards are
moderately related to the extent of use of recommended board
practices.^L. 2 Tables, 24 References. Adapted from the source
document.
