Eckerd Connects (EC) is a youth-focused nonprofit organization begun by the proprietor of a once-major drug store chain, Eckerd Drug, and his spouse. Otherwise known as “Eckerd Kids” in its earlier days, and legally chartered still today under the Eckerd Youth Alternatives name, the organization’s innovative outdoor-emphasis programming achieved high regard in 1968 and most of the next four decades that followed, helping children displaced from their parents to be better positioned to become well-adjusted adults. Shortly after the turn of the century, enthusiasm for the outdoor-emphasis model began to wane as funding sources (primarily state child welfare offices) became more interested in community-based options offering similar, and sometimes better, results at a lesser cost. Hard choices became necessary spurred by financial pressures, and the EC board of directors’ hire in March 2007 of someone with reputation as a “turnaround guy” signaled a new acquiescence to the possibility of change—though virtually no one anticipated the magnitude. That decision ultimately precipitated EC’s evolution into a substantially different organization in terms of strategy, though the original youth development mission remained intact. Insights and lessons to be gained from that transition are the focus of this case.

This is the fourth themed issue in the Journal of Nonprofit Education and Leadership (JNEL) in which researchers around the world examine regional and national training and education programs for individuals with civil society leadership roles. The issue has its origin in a post-conference airport meeting a few years ago between one of the editors of this series of themed issues and a set of prominent scholars from East Asia. As most researchers would confirm, the value of a research conference is seldom found in the various seminars or panels, but rather in the unplanned encounters that take place at breakfast, over a coffee, or—in this case—at the airport. The mere airport happenstance turned out to be the beginning of several valuable research initiatives. Since then, among other things, the authors and the editors have met and organized public disseminations, including the Nonprofit Higher Education Research Summit at he ISTR International Conference in 2021. The overall result is not only a significant contribution to the series of themed issues, but also, and more importantly, the first mapping of programs in nonprofit and nongovernmental management education in East Asia.

Volunteer boards and paid executives have complementary but distinct roles as one supports the other in a nonprofit’s shared leadership function. We introduce the concept of homophily to this relationship, connecting the profile of who fills these roles to how they relate. Homophily conceives those relationships are more likely to form between those who share commonalities, and in this exploratory study, we look at shared characteristics between board members and executives, namely their race and gender. This research illuminates how common or differing identities may affect a board and executive’s shared leadership responsibilities. This research uses descriptive and causal modeling to examine the extent to which nonprofit executives look to boards that are like themselves for support and if homophily or heterophily impacts how an executive perceives their board. The findings reveal a nuanced relationship, indicating homophily may influence these relations differently than previous literature has found.

The drastic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the arts and cultural sector cannot be underestimated. Over 90% of arts venues have ceased or transformed their operations, with many productions being delayed, postponed, rescheduled, or canceled because of travel restrictions and lockdowns. Facing hiring freezes, layoffs, and furloughs, cultural organizations have been forced to make difficult choices based on their unique situations and resources. As Farago (2021) noted: “The effects of this cultural depression will be excruciating, and not only for the symphony not written, the dance not choreographed, the sculpture not cast, the musical not staged. Beyond value in its own right, culture is also an industry sector accounting for more than 4.5 percent of this country’s gross domestic product, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.” The three cases in this issue highlight the governance challenges faced by arts organizations in California, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. Each case describes a governance issue, provides a theoretical background and framework, and offers instructional tools.
2019冠状病毒病大流行对艺术和文化部门的巨大影响不容低估。超过90%的文艺场馆停止运营或转产,许多演出因限行和封锁被推迟、推迟、改期或取消。面对招聘冻结、裁员、休假,文化机构不得不根据自己的特殊情况和资源做出艰难的选择。正如Farago(2021)所指出的:“这种文化萧条的影响将是痛苦的,不仅是交响乐没有写出来,舞蹈没有编排,雕塑没有演员,音乐剧没有上演。根据美国经济分析局(U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis)的数据,除了本身的价值,文化也是一个产业部门,占美国国内生产总值(gdp)的4.5%以上。本问题中的三个案例突出了加州、宾夕法尼亚州和伊利诺伊州的艺术组织所面临的治理挑战。每个案例都描述了一个治理问题,提供了理论背景和框架,并提供了指导工具。

Nonprofit leaders face many challenges and would benefit from a typology that helps highlight the core issues organizations experience. The Nonprofit Studies Minor at North Carolina State University identified five nonprofit leadership challenges, through a combination of practitioner experience and academic research, that could serve as a typology. The challenges identified are earning the public trust; aligning mission, methods, and resources; capitalizing on issues associated with diversity; balancing individual interests and the common good; and moving beyond charity to systemic change. This research revisits the academic literature to assess whether these challenges encompass the research agenda of nonprofit and voluntary action academic studies. Using qualitative content analysis, we examined abstracts from three major nonprofit journals from 2005-2017. Results indicate that the five leadership challenges were present in the abstracts of all three journals. Chi-squared analysis showed statistically significant differences in the presence of leadership challenges based on journal, location of the study, and unit of analysis. Validating this typology strengthens the Institute’s efforts and inform research and practice throughout the field.
非营利组织的领导者面临着许多挑战,并且将受益于一种有助于突出组织所经历的核心问题的类型学。北卡罗莱纳州立大学(North Carolina State University)的非营利研究辅修课程通过结合从业经验和学术研究,确定了非营利组织领导面临的五个挑战,这可以作为一种类型学。所确定的挑战正在赢得公众的信任;调整任务、方法和资源;利用与多样性有关的问题;平衡个人利益与公共利益;从慈善转向系统性变革。本研究回顾了学术文献,以评估这些挑战是否包括非营利和自愿行动学术研究的研究议程。使用定性内容分析,我们检查了2005-2017年三个主要非营利期刊的摘要。结果表明,这五种领导力挑战都出现在这三种期刊的摘要中。卡方分析显示,基于期刊、研究地点和分析单位,领导力挑战的存在存在统计学上的显著差异。验证这种类型加强了研究所的努力,并为整个领域的研究和实践提供了信息。

As the charitable sector continues to grow, so do concerns over its accountability. Calls for greater accountability for nonprofits have led to not only an increase in government oversight activities, but also the proliferation of accountability standards within nonprofit communities as the sector has been determined to address the issue through self-regulation efforts. Given the pervasiveness of the standards movement, the purpose of this study is to evaluate whether and to what extent accountability reforms matter in improving organizational performance. Various theories (e.g., scientific management and organizational learning theories; resource dependence theory and institutional isomorphism) are explored to understand the nature of the accountability-performance relationship. Analysis of Charity Navigator data (N=943) indicates that accountability measures are positively associated with financial performance (more efficient in using resources, for example). Reviewing CEOs’ compensation packages is one of the individual accountability features that is particularly impactful in improving performance. Additionally, our findings shed light on the expansive scope of the standards movement, highlighting the importance of further investigating the connection between accountability and organizational performance beyond finance.

Nonprofit management education is informed by curricular standards and feedback from students and alumni on the utility of its curriculum components. In a professionalizing and diverse nonprofit sector, we were curious to ask nonprofit workers about the skills and competencies they need for their work. Applying a survey design, we asked nonprofit workers about the skills and abilities they used in their work relative to general professional and nonprofit curricular standards. In our findings, we explore differences according to the professional profiles to make sense of the sector’s diverse workforce. Our assessment supplies fresh insight into the competencies nonprofit education promotes, describing how nonprofit professionals view the skills needed for their work, and how they think about professional development. The findings inform those who teach or administer nonprofit degree programs, as well as those who work or want to work in the nonprofit sector.

Until recently, nonprofit and third sector classifications have been an underexplored subject area in nonprofit management education. This research area has significantly evolved in the last few years merging American with European and other international perspectives. This article examines the organizational characteristics identifying nonprofit-social with nonprofit institutions (NPIs) and extended by third sector/social economy (TSE) institutions. Professor Lester Salamon1 substantially advanced the classifications of hybrid organizations which led to the 2018 Handbook on Nonprofit Satellite Accounts and the Third Sector Impact Project. This work represents the first steps in aligning American perspectives of charity and nonprofit institutions with European social enterprise and social economy perspectives regarding the third sector and social economy. The organizational characteristics and principles for nonprofit/ third sector classifications are compared in relation to their effects on social economic solutions and nonprofit management education.
