“…The evaluation of social activities requires a clear definition of the objectives and issues to be investigated, given the multi-dimensional character and the lack of evaluation standards for this type of activity [69]. Scholarly research has highlighted the potential of evaluating social activities for learning [70] and redefining strategies [71].…”

“…Initially focusing on the economic side of impact (Barget & Ferrand, 2012), the literature is beginning to theorize about its social side (Stievenart & Pache, 2014). However, the focus is on the implementation of the evaluation process and how it works (Kleszczowski, 2020).…”

This article explores the importance of prospective for practitioners in the sector of grassroots volunteer organizations (GVOs, as associations). Prospective can be defined as an attitude of studying the future that must lead to action. In this, in times of crisis, prospective seems crucial and the GVOs' point of view can open a research agenda. The French case of GVOs deserves more attention because of their characteristics (e.g., 90% of GVOs have no employees, 75% of them have an annual budget of less than 10,000 euros), their relationship with the public authorities and their strong social impact on the community. The scenarios of evolution of the GVOs sector proposed by La Fonda are analyzed and become filters for the reading of the French literature dedicated to GVOs. They lead to four lines of research (isomorphism; normalization and standardization; evaluation and impact; organizational capacities). Following this, a research agenda dedicated to French GVOs is proposed. This work has intrinsic implications, conducting a literature review and proposing a research agenda compared to international agendas. It highlights the challenges GVOs face and the differences between desirable research in France and international research agendas. It constitutes possible inspirations for GVOs leaders thanks to a synoptic table.

“…In other words, understanding how invested resources are transformed into outcomes is complex. The same is true for determining the extent to which the NPO and its action actually contribute to the final societal outcomes (Kleszczowski, 2017). Third, NPO performance and effectiveness are subjectively defined by each of its stakeholders (Mano, 2010): stakeholders participate in defining, measuring and evaluating organizational performance and provide resources in return.…”

Second, NPOs' outcomes are almost imperceptible, because they are “qualitative and vague”, “difficult to measure” and because NPOs' “interventions are uncertain” (Kleszczowski, 2017, p. 71). In other words, understanding how invested resources are transformed into outcomes is complex.…”

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.
