非营利组织的资源依赖模式、目标变化与社会价值:对于非营利管理而言目标变化重要吗?

Resource dependence patterns,goal change,and social value in nonprofit organizations:Does goal change matter in nonprofit management?

资源获取是影响非营利组织生存与成功的重要因素。非营利组织不免要受到资助者需求的影响,在高度竞争的环境中也会经历非自愿的目标变动。本文探讨了非营利组织的资源依赖模式(资源依赖性、资源竞争性和资源多样性)、目标变化和社会价值之间的关系。研究表明,财务资源的竞争程度(资源竞争性)与非营利组织的目标变化有正向关系。在资源竞争程度较高的环境中,目标变化对于社会价值的实现具有消极影响。另外,经验研究表明,多元化或均衡的收入结构(高水平的资源多样性)有利于维护非营利组织的社会价值。

Resource acquisition is an important factor for the survival and success of nonprofit organizations.Nonprofit organizations are not free from the demands of potential funders and they experience involuntary goal changes in competitive environments.This article investigates the relationships among resource dependence patterns(resource dependency,resource competitiveness,and resource diversity),goal change,and social value in nonprofit organizations.The findings suggest that competition for financial resources(resource competitiveness)is positively associated with goal change in nonprofit organizations.Goal change in an environment of high resource competitiveness has a negative effect on social value.On the other hand,the empirical findings show that a diversified or balanced revenue structure(high resource diversity)helps nonprofit organizations to maintain their social value.
