“…At a macro level, aid is analysed considering for example the monetary amounts and investigating what countries are the donors 9 but this is far away from the "grass root" experience. Some researchers suggest that NPOs need to professionalise in order to become more efficient but, at the same time, maintain their grass root expertise 10 . The number and variety of NPOs suggests, however, that there can be differences in the effectiveness and even in the motives of NPOs performance.…”

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is a country with high natural resources but it has suffered from decades of civil wars and social turmoil being heavily aid-dependent. In the DRC, several Non-For-Profit Organizations (NPOs) are major players in fighting poverty and enhancing welfare. This research aims to analyse the effectiveness of small NPOs in improving poor peoples' lives through health, education and economic activities. Two NPOs working in the DRC, one in a rural and the other in an urban area, are compared by researching the aid sites and surveying 201 households (aid beneficiaries). Our case observations and the survey results facilitate analysing the mission accomplishment, effectiveness and accountability of the NPOs although we admit that the DRC conditions make exact measurements difficult. Multivariate analyses are used to study the differences in aid impacts. There are significant differences in the beneficiaries' perception of the NPO effectiveness in improving health while no significant differences in education impact were found. This is probably because both case NPOs have succeeded in getting a large proportion of the children of their area registered in the education centres created by the NPOs. Differences were observed in the accountability and reporting style of the NPOs.

“…This model seeks to account for differences in the contribution of HRM to employee-related and performance outcomes. It has witnessed growing influence in the nonprofit literature, being examined in a variety of empirical studies and contexts (e.g., Kellner et al, 2017;Valeau, 2015;Walk et al, 2014).…”

“…External pressures confront NPOs at the heart of their unique values, goals, and mission. Mostly founded for goals other than commercial purposes, the nonprofit mission and values drive the organization's development (Pedrini et al, 2016;Valeau, 2015). Even if NPOs decide to engage partly in commercial objectives, the mission is fundamental and central in the selection of commercial interests and/or business partners (Eng et al, 2012).…”

“…• • These approaches have been used as a theoretical background for interpreting empirical findings (e.g., Kelliher & Parry, 2011;Kellner et al, 2017;Walk et al, 2014), yet we lack a comprehensive understanding of the disparate strands of empirical evidence drawing on these conceptual approaches. • • Although further studies have identified new insights that are not addressed in these approaches (e.g., Valeau, 2015), the field requires integration and synthesis of these new themes and developments. • • SHRM in NPO scholarship is characterized by a plethora of studies that remain fragmented due to heterogeneity in their approaches, methods, and findings.…”

A decade after key theoretical developments in strategic human resource management (SHRM) in nonprofit organizations (NPOs), we still lack a comprehensive understanding of the disparate strands of empirical evidence. Furthermore, this growing field requires integration and synthesis of new themes and conceptual developments. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review of SHRM studies in NPOs published between 2008 and 2017. Our review of 74 articles synthesizes a fragmented body of research and maps out the relationships into a more integrated whole. By mapping the research landscape, we provide insights into the tensions NPOs face between external pressures and values, highlighting the underexplored role of managerial discretion in shaping NPOs’ differing responses. Our review expands the resource orientation to include a social capital dimension and identifies new empirical manifestations of human resource management (HRM) types. We offer avenues for research on content, process, outcomes of SHRM, and discuss how the interplay across key themes can inform the development of the field.

“…In this study, we argue that a reassessment of the influence of rank-and-file stakeholders may be one of the keys to maintaining a sense of mission in the long-term. This general hypothesis reconnects with the roots of "associationism" (Laville, 2017) and draws on solidarity economy and civil society approaches to the nonprofit sector (Laville, 2017;Laville, Young, & Eynaud, 2015, Valeau, 2015. These approaches view NPOs as organized action by the population and for the population to address social, economic, and democratic issues.…”

Toward a Reassessment of the Role of Rank-and-File Stakeholders in Nonprofit Organizations

This study examines the relationships between the influence of different stakeholders and mission-based strategic planning, community development, and economic effectiveness. Our purpose is to highlight the unique and incremental contribution of rank-and-file stakeholders, that is, stakeholders without any specific grade or status, such as nonboard volunteers or beneficiaries. We analyze reported data from 227 nonprofit organizations (NPOs) using structural equation modeling and bootstrap mediation analysis. Our results show that when rank-and-file stakeholders manage to remain influential, strategic planning tends to be more directly rooted in the mission, which contributes to both perceived community and economic effectiveness. These results are discussed with regard to the utility, legitimacy, and urgency of more direct forms of democratic governance giving rank-and-file stakeholders the power to contribute to mission-based strategic planning.
