“…This study was conducted in Botswana, a developing Southern African country where research of this nature has not previously been conducted. Prior studies on organisational performance of NSOs have been conducted in countries including Australia (Shilbury & Moore, 2006), Belgium (Winand, Rihoux, Robinson, & Zintz, 2013;Winand et al, 2010), Canada (Chelladurai & Haggerty, 1991), France, (Bayle & Robinson, 2007), Greece (Papadimitriou & Taylor, 2000), Portugal, Spain, Italy (Madella et al, 2005), New Zealand (O'Boyle & Hassan, 2015) and Russia (Solntsev & Osokin, 2018), where the countries' economies allow for bigger NSOs with numerous and more lucrative resource streams. Therefore, this study offers a distinct perspective into the operation of NSOs in a developing African country, a markedly different social, economic and cultural context than that experienced by NSOs in more developed countries.…”
