“…A twist to this triptych was made by Moldavanova and Wright (2020) in particular, proposing to include culture as a fourth dimension of sustainability. If this development may seem recent, it is in fact as early as the end of the 20th century that the concept of "culturally sustainable development" appears (Throsby, 1995).…”

“…Using the generalist definition of sustainable development by the Brundtland Commission ("development which meets the needs of current generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs"), Daub et al (2014) explain the importance of the involvement of NPOs in this process. In addition, Moldavanova and Wright (2020) insist on the role of NPOs "as vehicles of sustainable development". "Vehicle" terminology is particularly relevant in our case: while NPOs have a propensity to participate in sustainable development because of their nature, their mere existence is not enough.…”

“…The conditions for the success of CSR also make it possible to highlight this distinction. The organizational factors pointed out by Moldavanova and Wright (2020) embrace widely varying realities, including the quality of stakeholder relationships (Moldavanova and Goerdel, 2018). Lee (2017) also notes that the determinants of organizational sustainability can sometimes be similar between NPOs and FPOs but specificities appear in the former (e.g.…”

“…In addition, CSR and sustainability are frequently seen from a collaborative perspective (in which stakeholders are engaged and, above all, rather positively). Moldavanova and Wright (2020) proposes to remove this conjecture in order to question the conflicting potential of CSR and sustainability. Finally, within the concepts' various dimensions, the social one has been the most dealt with (Langergaard, 2019).…”

The concept of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in nonprofit organizations (NPOs) is a challenge for the literature and for the organizations themselves. The concept is often confused with social responsibility or sustainability. The pleonasm between CSR and the mission, values and nature of NPOs also raises questions. Finally, the relevance of the concept in its current state to NPOs calls into question, because of the “corporate” terminology. Design/methodology/approach: Based on a literature review, this article proposes to respond to these different gaps thanks to an analysis of the definitions, the theories, measurement methods and content of research dedicated to CSR, social responsibility and sustainability. Findings: The research underlines the triple relevance of the concept of CSR in NPOs. Its relevance to the other two concepts, its strategic importance and the interest of differentiation from for-profit organizations. Originality: This article proposes a literature review on CSR in NPOs, a subject that is still emerging in the literature but which nevertheless needs to be addressed in the current context of multiple crises.

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

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

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.
