“…Recently, more attention has been paid to various factors affecting capacity, such as organizational size (Millar and Doherty 2016 ; Svensson et al 2018 ), type of service (Bauer et al 2020 ; Brown et al 2016 ), and nonprofit characteristics (Bauer et al 2020 ; Singh and Mthuli 2021 ) and socioeconomic context (Badawi & Abdullah, 2022 ; Masson, 2015 ). Moreover, there exists increasing interest in the issues of the best practice for capacity building (Walters 2021 ), learning capacity (Gagnon et al 2018 ; Hindasah and Nuryakin 2020 ), and collaboration capacity as a tool to obtain better performance and sustainability (Bauer et al 2020 ; Fu et al 2021 ; Kim and Peng 2018 ).…”

“…In the literature, collaboration research is activity levels or degrees of cooperation intensity, or simply nonprofits that have worked with different sectors (AbouAssi et al 2021 ; Bauer et al 2020 ; Gazley 2008 , 2010 ). Nonprofit partners with public or international organizations achieve mutual social missions through several negotiated phases (AbouAssi and Bowman 2018 ).…”

“…Collaboration can be successful when there exists a strong sense of personal connection and kinship, a readiness to share power and risk, a shared vision and principles, and an expectation of mutual benefit (Gazley et al 2012 ; Miller et al 2003 ). However, despite different perspectives on the nature of control and whether service inclusion should be included in collaborative relationships (Bauer et al 2020 ), many agree that collaboration must extend beyond information sharing to mutual obligations regarding the use of organizational resources or service coordination (Guo and Acar 2005 ).…”

“…Several scholars have discussed how organizations’ management characteristics, organization, size, and scope influence collaboration. Bauer et al ( 2020 ) found that leaders’ working experience has a statistical association with collaboration. Female leaders tend to use less formality of collaboration, with less cost, more freedom and reduced bureaucracy.…”

“…Female leaders tend to use less formality of collaboration, with less cost, more freedom and reduced bureaucracy. The smaller nonprofits with limited resources collaborate with other institutions (Bauer et al 2020 ). In contrast with Kim and Peng ( 2018 ), their findings indicated that the size of small nonprofits is unrelated to their participation in formal collaborations, possibly due to the difference in measuring organizations’ size.…”

Nonprofit capacity and social performance: mapping the field and future directions

2022

Nonprofit organizations are critical actors in the Sustainable Development Goals as they provide a wide range of social services to the community and contribute to creating a sustainable future. They must compete for funding or government contracts by showing high social performance. Among the top factors influencing social performance is capacity, and it has received considerable attention in public and nonprofit literature. Capacity refers to the resources, capabilities, and practices required to perform their functions to achieve the social mission and high social performance. However, studies concerning capacity linked with social performance remain controversial. Understanding the linkage between capacity and social performance is relevant to funders, board directors, and management as it helps them enhance organizational performance. This research aims to assess the flow of knowledge in the study field and make recommendations for future research. The study focuses on capacity of nonprofits and thoroughly reviews the literature using complementary bibliometric analysis: co-occurrence analysis of keywords, sources, and authors and bibliographic coupling analysis of documents. We conduct a systematic analysis of peer-reviewed journal articles published between 1955 and 2022. Seven significant themes emerge among the most prominent researchers: (1) the link between capacity and social performance; (2) dimensions of capacity; (3) human resource capacity linked with social performance: (4) financial capacity linked with social performance; (5) capacity building linked with social performance; (6) collaboration and capacity; and (7) factors affecting capacity–social performance. The literature on nonprofits is determined to have inconsistent findings regarding the relationship between capacity and social performance. Research on various factors influencing capacity–social performance relationships is also scarce. This article highlights major principles in the discipline and identifies significant theoretical gaps in the body of knowledge. It also outlines the conceptual foundation for the study and makes recommendations for further research. From a managerial standpoint, the study sheds light on whether capacity is linked to higher performance levels and provides policymakers with guidelines on the implications of capacity building and collaboration.

This study combines the type of partners and the number of partnerships’ purposes to assess municipal partnerships’ effectiveness in bringing international aid. First, the study test whether inter-municipal cooperation (homogenous partners) is more effective than inter-governmental cooperation (heterogeneous partners) in increasing international aid at the local level. Second, the study tests whether partnerships with the sole purpose of raising international aid (single purpose) are more effective than partnerships with additional purposes (multiple purposes). Using panel data with 2,431 municipal-year observations, results confirm that inter-governmental partnerships with multiple purposes are the most effective partnership to increase international aid.
