Talking the talk, or walking the walk? How managerial practices relate to NPOs' role as schools of democracy

Lisa Schmidthuber, Leila Cornips, Julia Litofcenko and Florentine Maier

Nonprofit organizations (NPOs) act as ‘schools of democracy’ meaning that individuals’ involvement in a voluntary association fosters civic education and instils civic values, thereby sustaining democratic systems. This research investigates NPOs’ role in promoting democracy and asks how organizational practices influence how NPOs educate citizens to be politically active. We use survey data collected in a random sample of NPOs in the Vienna metropolitan region. Findings indicate that adopting managerial practices is not related to internal democratic organizing, but the extent to which managerial and democratic practices are present is positively associated with NPOs’ encouragement to participate in politics.

Dimensions of nonprofit performance: What businesses doing CSR can learn from nonprofit organizations' understandings of success

Nonprofit organizations are under increasing scrutiny to demonstrate their worthiness through various forms of performance measurements, which has attracted much scholarly attention to systematize different facets of nonprofit performance and effectiveness. However, none of these frameworks fully captures how diverse and multifaceted the issue presents itself from the perspective of nonprofit leaders. This study thus aims to link the scholarly analysis of nonprofit performance more closely to the actual diversity of nonprofit practice. Based on the survey data from representative samples of NPOs in the Vienna Metropolitan Region (Austria) and Shenzhen (China), we manually coded 560 leaders of NPOs' responses to an open question about performance indicators. By applying an inductive, data-driven approach to coding these responses, we develop a framework of dimensions and facets of nonprofit performance from a leader's perspective. Our analysis shows that nonprofit performance – from a nonprofit leader's perspective – can be conceptualized within a two-dimensional space, ranging from within the organization to its environment and from the level of relations to the level of actions. We thereby go beyond previous frameworks, which have emphasized internal actions and external relations but have neglected relations inside the organization and the external action aspect of demand for the organization's offers.
