“…10. Extrait de l'article de Bernardeau (2018) à ce propos : « Le retrait des pouvoirs publics soumis à des restrictions budgétaires importantes, les demandes plus exigeantes des usagers allant aux plus offrants, l'augmentation très importante des procédures contractuelles par appel d'offre émanant des collectivités territoriales, impactent les politiques associatives ».…”

“…Cet article vise donc à comprendre le rôle et le statut des bénévoles en formation linguistique ainsi que les interactions où ils s'actualisent. Dans le cadre particulier de l'accompagnement à l'apprentissage du français langue étrangère pour adultes, l'offre de formation est en évolution permanente et la tendance est à une part de plus en plus importante de formateurs professionnels, mais aussi à une professionnalisation des bénévoles (en particulier, dans le domaine du FLE/S, mais plus généralement aussi) (Bernardeau, 2018). Cela dit, les besoins sont toujours croissants et ce contexte amène au développement d'un marché de la formation qui inclut des statuts, approches, formations, représentations plurielles.…”

“…The proliferation of events, marketing, sponsorship and merchandising services, which all appear in the organisational charts, demonstrate the entrepreneurial approach adopted by NPOs. As Ion [74] and Bernardeau-Moreau [75] pointed out, this increased demand for skills is not without consequences for the least qualified volunteers, who may feel that they are hidden away in menial tasks that are easy to carry out. For Demoustier [76] (p. 108) and Chauvière [77], cited by Tardif Bourgoin [78] (p. 18), the professionalisation of non-profit organisations accentuates a form of "qualitative differentiation", with the enhancement of managerial, accounting and administrative skills tending to favour the most experienced volunteers, who are integrated into the economic and administrative circuits to the detriment of all others.…”

Mimetic Isomorphism in Non-Profit Organisations (NPO): Sports Associations in the Nord Pas-De-Calais Departments

The purpose of our study is to give an account of the process of institutional isomorphism, which, in France, leads non-profit organisations (NPO) to follow the management and professional model used by organisations in the same field because they are larger, better equipped, and have higher-performance tools and better skilled executive managers. In order to investigate this subject, we have built a rigorous methodology. We carried out an investigation by interviewing volunteer leaders running sports NPOs in the Nord and Pas-de-Calais departments (now part of the Hauts-de-France region). In total, we interviewed nearly 80 volunteer members of sports associations employing at least one employee and engaged in a process of professionalization. In the introduction, we highlight the managerial surge that leads associations to move closer to the managerial forms of organizations. To illustrate this phenomenon, we used the concepts of neo-institutional theory and tried to show that institutional isomorphism is collectively accepted by institutional volunteer leaders. In this process of professionalisation that affects sports organisations, our results demonstrate that this isomorphism operates on several levels. At a structural level, our study shows that the organisation imports the management and operating tools from the entrepreneurial model and develops strategies for diversifying its services and innovating its products. At a skills-based level, it appears the skills acquired by volunteers during their professional career are increasingly put to use in work with non-profits. Our study concludes that the isomorphism of sports NPOs is characterised by the need for independent funding, the diversification of activities, the search for innovation and the increased need for skills derived from professional experience. These results have led us to discuss the impact of the mimetic form of this isomorphic process on the non-profit project. The implications of this isomorphism are significant: while this process is very often the result of external pressure on the organisational field, it is also, in certain circumstances, the result of a collective strategy defined by the volunteer leaders running NPOs. Organisations must create the conditions for financial empowerment by increasing their financial resources. This isomorphism in NPOs with the business world is also made possible by hiring volunteers who are better trained and better adapted to new requirements. Finally, we highlight the limitations of our study and the possibilities for future development.

“…Nous pensons à la multiplication des référentiels utilisés dans de nombreuses structures aujourd'hui, aux listes impressionnantes de compétences à acquérir par les bénévoles. Pour aller plus loin sur cette question, nous proposons à nos lecteurs un article de Bernardeau (2018) relatif à ce phénomène de professionnalisation du bénévolat qui certes ne cible pas spécifiquement les dispositifs que nous décrivons, mais apporte un éclairage intéressant sur la transformation du statut du bénévole. 9.…”
