“…The significantly higher mean scores in mission-focused accountability for football-based SDP agencies is likely due to streetfootballworld-a network organization, which has actively developed a global community of football-based SDP agencies for over a decade. Thus, while prior studies have highlighted the value of board member connections (Zhou et al, 2021), our results go beyond the board room and suggest that organizational networks may directly influence the virtual accountability practices employed.…”

In this research note, we examine web‐based accountability practices of human service nonprofits. Data were collected directly from the organizational websites of an international sample of 532 organizations involved in operating sport for social change programs, more commonly known as the field of sport for development and peace. Websites were coded using the nonprofit virtual accountability index—a theoretically grounded and robust tool—to measure information and interactivity available for stakeholders across five dimensions of accountability. Analyses of variance and independent t‐tests were used to test potential group differences based on geographical region, the thematic types of social change efforts, and the type of sport used to deliver programming. The results of this analysis highlight the critical importance of geographical location and other organizational variables for web‐based accountability practices. Furthermore, the results allow nonprofit leaders to identify common areas in need of improvement for smaller and emerging nonprofits.

“…Future research should indeed take into account organizational capacity life stages (e.g., AbouAssi, Makhlouf, & Tran, 2019; Andersson et al, 2016) when probing into collaboration attitudes. In addition, generalizability to government collaboration (e.g., Kwon & Feiock, 2010; Liu et al, 2021; Lubell et al, 2010), for‐profit business collaboration (e.g., Ashnai et al, 2016; Pulles et al, 2014; Schierjott et al, 2018), cross‐sector collaboration (e.g., AbouAssi, Faulk, et al, 2019; Boyer & Van Slyke, 2019; Cheng & Li, 2022; Min, 2022; Spitz et al, 2021), and network interactions (e.g., Azevedo et al, 2022; Beagles, 2022; Priante et al, 2022; Sun et al, 2022; Zhou et al, 2021) is also worth assessing. Of course, we should remember that generalization in qualitative research matters and functions differently than in quantitative research (Carminati, 2018; Levitt, 2021).…”

Avid, Averse, Apprehensive, or Apathetic? A typology of collaboration attitudes

As much of nonprofit management research on inter‐organizational collaboration has focused on various macro and meso aspects of collaboration, little is known about micro aspects such as the attitudes of individuals involved in collaboration. To contribute to a more holistic and multidisciplinary understanding of collaboration, this study draws upon social psychological theories about attitude structure and attitudinal ambivalence to explore the variation in attitudes that nonprofit leaders have toward collaboration opportunities. Based on interviews with the leaders of 20 US‐based transnational nonprofits in the field of child welfare, the study qualitatively identifies four major types of attitudes toward collaboration opportunities: Avid, Averse, Apprehensive, and Apathetic. The study then presents several propositions to facilitate a future research program for the integration of attitudes into collaboration research. Practical policy and managerial implications are also discussed.

“…This study examines whether the positive implications of women's leadership for organizational transparency replicate in the context of external accreditations of transparency, using the gender leadership framework. While there is a growing body of research suggesting gender diversity in nonprofit leadership is closely connected to transparency (see Dula et al, 2020 and Zhou et al, 2021, e.g. ), little research has examined whether the positive link between female leadership and organizational transparency applies to nonprofit transparency ratings by a charity watchdog, which can have a direct impact on an organization's fundraising outcomes.…”

Un(der)rated: Nonprofit leader gender and external accreditations of transparency

The gender‐ethics theory posits that female leaders' higher ethical standards contribute to an improved culture of transparency within an organization. This study examines if the positive implication of women's leadership for organizational transparency replicates in the context of an external accreditation of transparency, using the case of GuideStar's Seal of Transparency (SOT). Unlike what gender‐ethic theory suggests, the results reveal that nonprofits led by female CEOs are not only less likely to have an SOT, but the gap based on CEO gender also increases for higher‐level seals. This study explains the contradiction using concepts of the gender leadership gap and gender differences in the pursuit of external accreditations.
