“…There was an effective realization of labor and entrepreneurial potential, in particular by stimulating the development of the population's own capabilities. An important role in this process among other factors was played by IT-technologies (Chung et al, 2012;Dees & Anderson, 2006;Egholm, Heyse & Mourey, 2019;Heitor et al, 2012;Kvist, 2013;Meier & Terán, 2019;Mironenko et al, 2015).

“…The covered by this study period of the last decade from 2010 to 2019 is characterized by relative financial stability, which replaced the great recession that began in the United States in 2007 and was spread over 25 European Union countries (excluding Poland and Slovakia) (Egholm, Heyse & Mourey, 2019;Elmi & Sadeghi, 2012). The study focuses on the main indicators that characterize the state's approach to basic social standards, such as education, health care and employment, and analyses the changes in the concept of the welfare state, the emerged new trends and the directions of the nations' movement in an effort to build and maintain a rational economy, social standards, cultural heritage and political stability.…”

The study covers the countries of Eastern Europe: Ukraine, Poland, Romania and Lithuania, which have common borders, similar history, mentality and are characterized by the dominance of the social democratic model of the welfare state, which is essentially aimed to undertake primary responsibility for financing basic social standards from the state budget. The study focuses on the basic indicators that show the state’s approach to education, health care and employment. In order to establish and analyze the changes that have taken place in the social state standards of the studied countries, the ten-year period from 2010 to 2019 was covered. The statistical data that reflect the expenditures on education and medicine from the volume of GDP of each state budget as well as the unemployment rate are analyzed. Positive dynamics has been established for all studied countries during the ten-year period in the financing of such areas as education and medicine. Optimistic indicators of the reduced number of unemployed in Poland, Romania and Lithuania were revealed. It has been established that the governments of Ukraine, Poland, Romania and Lithuania have similar approach to financing basic social needs. The role of civil society in the development of the welfare state and the new trends of nations’ movement towards the construction of a rational economy, social standards and political stability are considered.

The community and home-based elderly care service system has been proved an effective pattern to mitigate the elderly care dilemma under the background of accelerating aging in China. In particular, the participation of social organizations in community and home-based elderly care service has powerfully fueled the multi-supply of elderly care. As the industry of the elderly care service is in the ascendant, the management lags behind, resulting in the waste of significant social resources. Therefore, performance evaluation is proposed to resolve this problem. However, a systematic framework for evaluating performance of community and home-based elderly care service centers (CECSCs) is absent. To overcome this limitation, the SBM-DEA model is introduced in this paper to evaluate the performance of CECSCs. 186 social organizations in Nanjing were employed as an empirical study to develop the systematic framework for performance evaluation. Through holistic analysis of previous studies and interviews with experts, a systematic framework with 33 indicators of six dimensions (i.e., financial management, hardware facilities, team building, service management, service object and organization construction) was developed. Then, Sensitivity Analysis is used to screen the direction of performance optimization and specific suggestions were put forward for government, industrial associations and CECSCs to implement. The empirical study shows the proposed framework using SBM-DEA and sensitivity analysis is viable for conducting performance evaluation and improvement of CECSCs, which is conducive to the sustainable development of CECSCs.

“…The concept of organizational legitimacy is characterized by its many definitions up till now, each linked with a specific research tradition (Bitektine, 2011;Egholm et al, 2020;Suddaby et al, 2017), and most predominantly so with institutional theory (e.g. organizations conforming to social norms, laws and values inherent to the environment (Rowan & Meyer, 1977)).…”

Balancing Legitimacy in a Context of Nonprofit-Business Hybridity: The Case of the Flemish Wellbeing and Social Economy Sector

2021

Nonprofit organizations (NPOs) hybridizing toward the market domain by adopting business practices has sparked an ever-growing debate. There is research showing a rather positive effect on organizational legitimacy. However, considering the literature discussing other performance dimensions (e.g. social effectiveness), this trend is argued to erode the prosocial underpinnings of NPOs, increasingly leaving their stakeholders wondering what distinguishes them from business enterprises. When examining these previous studies, most research only focuses on one dimension of organizational legitimacy and/or one type of stakeholder. In this study, we aim to provide a more fine-grained picture of how nonprofit-business hybridity impacts nonprofit legitimacy by adopting (a) a multi-dimensional understanding of legitimacy, and (b) a multi-stakeholder perspective. We 2 draw on survey data from Flemish NPOs to sample two matched pairs of opposite cases, i.e. a 'low' and 'high' hybridized NPO for qualitative examination. Our findings suggest that nonprofit-business hybridity is significantly detrimental for stakeholders who are closely involved, and beneficial in the eyes of stakeholders who are more distant from the organization.
