NGO/NPO effectiveness remains a prominent concern for scholars and practitioners, but the literature on this issue is increasingly
fragmented along disciplinary lines. We address this problem by presenting a comprehensive and interdisciplinary review of
the literature on NGO and NPO effectiveness using citation analysis. In order to uncover commonalities across disciplines
concerned with similar questions, we deploy a structured literature review using snowball sampling within citation networks.
This approach limits author biases, fosters an interdisciplinary perspective, and adds a different methodological approach
to conventional content-based literature reviews. Our review uncovers three trends: (1) there is broad scholarly consensus
that unidimensional measures of effectiveness are not useful—even though such measures are commonly used by NGO/NPO rating
agencies; (2) the scholarship on NGO/NPO effectiveness is dominated by conceptual works, while empirical studies remain rare;
(3) a consensus on how to operationalize effectiveness remains elusive. These results suggest that progress in our understanding
of NGO/NPO effectiveness requires enhanced efforts at crossing disciplinary divides, adding empirical analyses, and increasing
attention to develop shared categories and methodologies. 相似文献

After more than a decade of research the debate over social enterprise definitions and classifications continues. EMES network in Europe argues that there is an ideal type of social enterprise to which all ventures should aspire. The spectrum approach emphasizes the trade-off between pure profit-making and social impact, locating organizations on this continuum. The Schumpeterians take innovation as its central focus, arguing that the disruption of the status quo is an important differentiator. We argue that each falls short of providing an adequate framework for future research, policy, and practice. Instead we offer an alternative metaphor, that of a social enterprise zoo; many different “animals” combine social and market goals in substantially different ways and each species has distinct environments and needs. Using the metaphor we consider the important components of a meaningful research agenda and examine the place of social entrepreneurs within the social enterprise zoo. 相似文献

This study examines the impact of federal grant awards on the financial health of recipient nonprofits. Although a modest body of research finds that government grants are beneficial to nonprofit fiscal health, a large Urban Institute study (2010, 2013, 2015) found that nonprofit managers receiving government grants consistently report fiscal harm due to awards that do not cover all program costs, late payments, and significant administrative burden. Those findings raise the question of whether government funding leads to net benefits or net harm for organizations given the administrative and fiscal burdens identified. This study tests that question using a large panel of federal grants to estimate the impact of government awards on three measures of nonprofit financial health. We find that government grants promote an increase in nonprofit size, improve operating margins, and increase financial reserves for recipient organizations. These benefits endure after the receipt of the award. 相似文献
