“…Proactivity is generally interpreted as if dealing with the reactiveness to an occasional situation, which may take place when organizations respond to dilemmas that threaten their survival; however, being truly proactive involves thinking about the ways in which organizations overcome their structural barriers and prosper and take effective decisions (Corsini et al, 2018;Turpin & Shier, 2020). Thus, proactivity refers to the active searching for opportunities, pre-empting demand, being the first to take an attitude and differing from innovation in how the latter incorporates something new, such as an invention, for example.…”

“…The empirical study by Kim et al (2013) on the third sector in South Korea concludes that proactivity returns a positive impact on NPO performance. In turn, Turpin and Shier (2020) identify the need for further study to understand the role of proactivity in the EO of NPOs as well as the ways in which these aspects require interrelating with the assumption of risk and SI. We thus reach our second hypothesis:…”

“…Similarly, compliance with the social mission may involve incurring substantial financial losses (Alarifi et al, 2019). As their mission, NPO entrepreneurs accept the measuring of the potential risks and taking decisions according to these measurement results (Turpin & Shier, 2020).…”

“…Despite the proliferation of research studies on EO (Kraus et al, 2019;Lumpkin et al, 2013;Martens et al, 2016;Voss et al, 2005;Wales et al, 2020), the study of EO in the non-profit sector still remains at an initial phase and lacking in scale. Nevertheless, social entrepreneurship has come in for rising levels of attention both from the academic perspective and the practical point of view (Alarifi et al, 2019;Halberstadt et al, 2020;Lurtz & Kreutzer, 2017;Morris et al, 2011;Pearce et al, 2010;Turpin & Shier, 2020). Thus, there is relatively little knowledge on the motivations that lead NPOs to engage in entrepreneurial behaviors (Coombes et al, 2011).…”

With the downturn in the global socioeconomic panorama, the social entrepreneurship orientation (SEO) and the social performance of non-profit organizations (NPOs) have become subject to growing levels of attention. The objective of this study is to analyze the influence of SEO on the performance of NPOs. To this end, we deployed a quantitative methodology based on the application of a survey of NPOs, which received a total of 135 valid responses. Our results demonstrate a positive effect for the dimensions of social innovation and social proactivity even while reporting no effect for the acceptance of social risks on performance. These results hold important implications across two different levels: in terms of the NPOs and policy-makers.

Values guide actions and judgements, form the basis of attitudinal and behavioral processes, and have an impact on leaders’ decision-making, contributing to more sustainable performance. Through a bibliometric study and content analysis, 2038 articles were selected from Scopus, from the period 1994–2021, presenting global research tendencies on the subject of values, public administration, and sustainability. The results indicate that Sustainability is the most productive journal, the main research category is in social sciences, the most productive institution is the University of Queensland, the location with the most publications and research collaborations is the USA, and the authors with the greatest number of articles are Chung, from Chung-Ang University; García-Sánchez, from the University of Salamanca; and Pérez, from the University of Cantabria. Analysis of keywords shows that the most relevant are “sustainability”, “CSR”, “sustainable development”, “innovation”, and “leadership”. Time analysis of keywords reveals a tendency for lines of research in the social and work area. The results also provide data about the framing of studies in sustainability pillars and the types of values referred to and indicate the main areas of public administration studied. Finally, a future research agenda is proposed.

While entrepreneurial orientation (EO) in nonprofit organizations (NPOs) is often considered as another business‐like behavior, the present systematic literature review changes this perspective by revealing that the construct refers to several specific third sector organizations' qualities and leverages financial and mission goals simultaneously. EO as a strategic posture of organizations is already well established in management and strategy literature whereas corresponding insights in NPOs are indeed expanded, but fragmented. To develop this research stream, a systematic literature review was conducted, that analyses the results of 76 studies about EO in NPOs. Besides describing current findings, this paper generates a comprehensive overview of applied constructs, drivers influencing EO, and goals promoted by this strategic posture. The context‐specific modification of the construct leads to the presumption that EO does not predominantly target business‐like initiatives, but holds a lot of potential meeting NPO's core challenges, such as the fulfillment of various stakeholders' expectations or diverse resources acquisition. The discussion elaborates to what extent EO serves as a viable alternative to highly discussed third sector developments of business approximation.
