“…Therefore, in the case of financial aspects, electronic mailboxes are a really large and especially economical variant of possible communication of non-profit entities. The method of communication is a means of developing a non-profit organization, not only towards employees or volunteers, but also towards donors [23].…”

Research background: Communication of non-profit organizations is one of the key activities in the conditions of this type of organizations, because through flexible communication, non-profit organizations can function effectively in today’s global society, based on modern information and communication technologies. In 2020, there was a change in communication with non-profit organizations in the environment of the Slovak Republic, through the establishment of electronic mailboxes. Purpose of the article: The aim of the article is to analyse a new way of communication of non-profit organizations, which results from the new legislation, which was adopted under Slovakia in 2020 and came into force on June 1, 2020, when the state gradually established and activated for electronic mailbox delivery for individual non-profit entity. Methods: Analytical methods were used in the article in order to evaluate the suitability of electronic mailboxes and their benefits in the environment of non-profit organizations. We work with the hypothesis that this method of communication will bring significant changes for the non-profit sector in the form of benefits, which will eliminate the obstacles that were present in the postal communication and will speed up the mutual exchange of information. Findings & Value added: The year 2020 thus brought a change in electronic mailboxes and Slovakia introduced the establishment of these mailboxes for non-profit organizations as well. Based on the obligation of non-profit organizations and its deeper analysis, we identify the advantages and disadvantages that result from this method of communication and evaluate their contribution for the practice of non-profit organizations.

“…This vision provides an early response to recent research that points out that “NPOs cannot expect increased performance to be meaningfully rewarded with funding” (p. 108) and in doing so called for a distinction in nonprofit performance theory from that of other sectors (Coupet & Broussard, 2021). Focusing on stakeholder perceptions also allows NPOs to ensure that their stakeholders have taken notice of their efforts and then strengthen this relationship and their (financial or otherwise) contribution.…”

Nonprofit organizations (NPOs) are subject to multiple pressures from their stakeholders. Stakeholders are at the same time the target of the organization's mission, the evaluators, the providers of resources and the demanders. This article is an essay that defends reciprocal perception as a managerial tool. The proposed intellectual path leads to the revalorization of stakeholder perception as a very useful practical and scientific tool for the management and study of NPOs. However, perception has limitations that the introduction of the concept of reciprocity can address.

“…Stakeholder theory thus offers various dimensions of effectiveness, particularly at the organizational, social and environmental levels. Recent studies indeed call for a reflection on NPOs' performance and effectiveness that are less focused on financial health (Coupet and Broussard, 2021). The literature recognizes that performance is multidimensional: it can be linked to "financial, stakeholder, market, mission" aspects (Mihaltan et al, 2015, p. 369) or "overall" (Boateng et al, 2016).…”

PurposeThis article examines whether accountability can contribute to the analysis of effectiveness in grassroots voluntary organizations (GVOs) in France.Design/methodology/approachBased on recent studies and stakeholder theory, hypotheses are formulated about the negative link between accountability and financial effectiveness and a positive link between accountability and non-financial effectiveness.FindingsThe findings show that accountability practices are positive determinants of financial indicators (apart from return on assets [ROA]) and employment of people in difficulty. In contrast, the other non-financial indicators are not explained by accountability practices.Research limitations/implicationsThe study points out the complexity and paradoxes surrounding accountability and highlights the risk of insensitivity to it. It thus underlines a specific French situation, close to the risks of myopia linked to accountability. One possible explanation could be the coupling and decoupling mechanisms that allow non-profit organizations (NPOs) to regain power. Given the sometimes-random effects of accountability, producing nuanced theories is necessary, and governance should oscillate between equilibrium and adaptation in the face of stakeholders. Finally, this article introduces the risk of insensitivity of NPOs to accountability (i.e. they act as they wish, regardless of control mechanisms such as accountability).Practical implicationsThis study thus reveals governance dilemmas, which could be solved through less formal, more mission-oriented, more creative and therefore heterodox accountability.Originality/valueThe French context of mistrust of certain managerial approaches and the development of codes of governance based on a disciplinary vision are confronted with a growing and critical literature on accountability in NPOs.
