“…The findings illustrated the degree to which different types of motivation were reflected as organisationally and personally important. The findings showed both uniformity and clear demarcation in motivations, as well as the multifaceted nature of these motivations (Frame, 2020a(Frame, , 2020b.…”

“…Yet, while FBOs and non-faithbased NGOs shared many values, spiritual dimensions infused the values of FBOs, and this was sometimes reflected in the ways in which their values were communicated. Additionally, while both types of organisations maintained visions that related to the emotional and physical well-being of their clients, visions of FBOs included dimensions related to faith and spiritual well-being (Frame, 2020a(Frame, , 2020b. For example, one FBO stated in a newsletter that its vision was to see '… Cambodians come to faith in Jesus Christ and (that) godly leaders are prepared to go out into the communities and businesses and live the Gospel'.…”

“…While one respondent from a secular NGO identified as a Christian, all in all, significant ideological differences were key to distinguishing between the personal motivations of respondents from FBOs and non-faith-based organisations. Yet, while responses from FBO interviewees often included references to their sense of 'calling', some respondents from non-faith-based NGOs also stated existential obligations as personally motivating factors (Frame, 2020a(Frame, , 2020b.…”

“…Faith-related motivations were expressions of the ways in which religious faith infused FBOs in the study. Religious faith was found to infuse FBOs in such a manner that their motivations were, in some ways, significantly different from those of their non-faith-based counterparts (Frame, 2020a(Frame, , 2020b.…”

Faith-based and non-faith-based non-governmental organisations (NGOs) are significant service providers in the developing world, yet limited research has compared these organisations, especially in the context of Southeast Asia. This paper explores a theoretical concept related to why religious faith may distinguish Christian faith-based organisations (FBOs) from non-faith-based NGOs. Qualitative data were analysed from 41 interviews across 13 Christian FBOs and 12 non-faith-based NGOs working with women and children in Cambodia who have been (or were at risk of being) sexually exploited, trafficked or involved in sex work. Faith was found to distinguish FBOs from non-faith-based NGOs in all four of the dimensions comparatively examined in the study: (1) goals and missions, (2) motivations, (3) approaches to care and (4) conceptions of success. It is argued that the contrasts between these two types of organisations, in terms of faith, are related to the combination of both the infusion of faith in FBOs and factors related to the development context in which these organisations worked, a theoretical concept posited as Context-Infusion Convergence.

“…Owolabi & Makinde (2012) have shown that strategic planning and corporate success are positively linked in Nigeria. Nwokoro (2017) and Frame (2020) identified relevant problems with FBO contributions that make them more distinctive than their secular counterparts. Despite the enormous progress made in many aspects of life by FBOs, these studies (Frame, 2020;Holloway, 2012;Kitawi & Irungu, 2015;Lear, 2012;Nwokoro, 2017;Okorley & Nkrumah, 2012) did not examine the dimensions of leadership capabilities or survival instincts of faithbased organizations in Nigeria.…”

In this paper, an attempt is made to investigate the extent to which leadership capabilities influences the survival instincts of faith-based organizations (FBOs) in Nigeria. Leadership capabilities are dimensions used by a leader to anticipate events, envision possibilities, maintain flexibility, and empower others to create strategic change to ensure organizational survival. The top leaders form decision-making bodies in FBOs that play a critical role in selecting and implementing organizational strategies. The challenges of failure and vision/goal accomplishment continue to threaten the existence and sustainability of many FBOs. In this study, purposive, stratified and simple random sampling methods were used. Out of 499 copies of the distributed questionnaire only 432 were returned, which is a response rate of 86.6%. The study used structural equation modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS 3.0 as a statistical tool for the analysis. Results show that demographic characteristics moderate the relationship between leadership capabilities and survival instincts of faith-based organizations. The present study made a tentative attempt to expand the appeal of concepts in new geographical boundaries in an empirical context, thereby making an important, original contribution to the Nigerian religious sector and literature on strategic leadership management, particularly on leadership capabilities and organizational survival. Based on the results, it is recommended that implementation of leadership capabilities should be consistently checked and controlled in line with organizational trends for sustainable survival of faith-based organizations. Contribution/Originality:The study used new estimation methodology to define and analyze the relationship between leadership capabilities of leaders at the helm of affairs regarding the enhancement of survival instincts of faith-based organizations in Nigeria. This enables the paper to add to the existing body of knowledge in strategic leadership management practices. INTRODUCTIONFaith-based organizations (FBOs) are development organizations with specific religious backgrounds and are characterized by an affiliation with a religious body, a mission statement with explicit reference to religious values, receive finance from religious sources, and have a governance structure. The selection of staff board members is based on religious beliefs, and decision making is based on religious values. Churches, mosques, and temples are also considered as FBOs and act as change agents in our societies by spreading the gospel, refining our moral characters,
