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.","PeriodicalId":43170,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nonprofit Education and Leadership","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83420231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":43170,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nonprofit Education and Leadership","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90179604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":43170,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nonprofit Education and Leadership","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86273475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":43170,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nonprofit Education and Leadership","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89145075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
