▼ In the past decade, the Hispanic/Latino population has grown to become the largest and fastest growing minority group in the United States (Passel, 2008; U.S. Census Bureau, 2006). Such a demographic shift has led scholars and practitioners to pay increased attention to Latinos’ needs and concerns, especially regarding legal and illegal immigration. Considerable debate surrounds how to serve native and immigrant Latinos. However, limited research, using nonprofit sector
organizations as the unit of analysis, has sought to understand the empirical impact of Latino-serving nonprofit
organizations and their effectiveness. The literature found a dearth of research on organizational effectiveness relating to identity-based nonprofit
organizations. Nevertheless, Resource Dependency Theory, and the Goal and Systems Resource Models suggest that mission-based and outreach-based
organizations respond to community needs with varying levels of success. This study contributes to the literature on identity-based
organizations in the nonprofit sector by exploring the differences between Latino-serving nonprofit
organizations and how these differences may impact organizational effectiveness. The study is built on original survey data and examines three research questions: What characteristics differentiate mission-based and outreach-based Latino nonprofit
organizations? What are the main characteristics of nonprofit organizational effectiveness? And to what extent can we consider nonprofit mission statement fulfillment as a primary measure for organizational effectiveness? The data consists of a purposive sample of 201 Georgia Latino-serving nonprofit
organizations. The results of this study indicate that mission-based nonprofit
organizations have structural differences based on age, composition, as well as cultural and linguistic competence in contrast to outreach-based nonprofit
organizations. Latino-serving nonprofit
organizations, as a whole, have limited financial resources, few collaborative relationships, and are negatively impacted by perceived reputation attributed by the nonprofit, private, and public sectors. Consequently, their organizational effectiveness may be hampered. This reality, coupled with the mixed-immigration status of Latinos, limits both clients and the
organizations that seek to serve them as neither are able to access traditional channels for social welfare. Such a quandary compels the nonprofit sector to grapple with its legacy of serving the most marginalized populations in the face of government and market failure. These findings offer intriguing directions for future research

▼ This paper examines the role that international
organizations can play in the crisis resolution process. Specifically, I examine the ability of states to influence both the domestic population and domestic leaders in favor of crisis resolution, with regime type as an intervening variable in the process. I examine my hypotheses empirically, utilizing the International Crisis Behavior Dataset. The results of my analysis are mixed with international
organizations seen as largely ineffective in the crisis resolution process. However, the evidence does support my hypothesis that international
organizations may be effective in changing public opinion in favor of crisis resolution.

▼ The aim of this study was to investigate the perception of religious
organizations on the
freedom of expression - Article 29 (2) and the broadcasting proclamation No. 533 Article
23/2007 in focus. The researcher employed qualitative methodology with individual in-
depth interviews and focus group discussions as data gathering tools. The theoretical
framework employed was political economy theory of mass communication. Despite the
fact that the Freedom of the Press has been granted as per Article 29 sub article 2 of the
Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, the Ethiopian Broadcasting Authority has not
allowed religious institutions to own broadcast stations for religious purposes. This
research is designed to address the issue of this phenomenon, that is, the religious
institutions have not been able to secure the permission to broadcast as per the provisions
of the Constitution.
The overall finding of this study shows the perception of religious
organizations on
freedom of expression Article 29 sub article 2 and the broadcasting proclamation No. 533
Article 23/2007 is that they didn‟t observe the two articles as adversaries. Though the
proclamation seems contradictory to that of the constitutional right given, since it is done
for the safety of the nation, and for peaceful coexistence of the general public because
religion is Parisian and if it is allowed there may be attacking one to another, they didn‟t
oppose the restriction and it could not be a barrier for their right to freedom of religious
broadcasting. While, with insignificant exceptions; said, while the main objective of
religion is to promote positive values to the society, why it is considered as a threat, it
raises a question on the blanket prohibition and it is a barrier for our right to the freedom
of religious broadcasting

SOME FLAG/ SOME STONY MATRIX
by
Maxwell Stolkin
Master of Fine Arts in Art
California State University, Chico
Spring 2011
The series of sculptures in the MFA Culminating exhibition Some Flag/ Some
Stony Matrix are exploratory of the task of positioning myself in the world through a disciplined
and deliberate sculptural output. The organization of materials in space has been
central to most human attempts at configuring a placement of their lives in the larger
schemes of the cosmos, nature, and social strata. Through sculptural
organizations of
form, line, and image, the works present my sustained effort in seeking a place within
this catalog of human expressive problem solving. Through interdisciplinary studies of a
variety of subjects, I have assembled a catalog of historical precedents to the work that
range from Stonehenge to American Modernist Literature, primitive markings in the bellies
of the earth to sites of modern industrial wastes, the tenets of mythology and archetypal
forms such as vessels, flowers, and maps of the stars. As these various sources are
filtered through aesthetic explorations in material and spatial situation I hope to create a
graceful narrative or picture of how humans have confronted those archetypal forms in the world
through a myriad of attempts at configuring some position within it.

▼ Scholarly consensus is lacking on how to understand and assess nonprofit
organizational effectiveness, which is further compounded by the absence of a universal
nonprofit effectiveness measure applicable to all agencies. However, nonprofits that fail
to remain functioning as an organization are considered to be among the least effective.
Researchers have identified several factors contributing to nonprofit failure, with
financial difficulties among the most frequently cited. Four specific measures of
financially vulnerable nonprofits have been identified and tested on a limited basis. This
research sought to build on previous work by assessing the financial vulnerability ofan
unexamined group ofnonprofits, "Food Banks, Food Pantries," and testing the utility of
the measures in predicting organization failure. Food Banks are determined to be structurally different than previously examined nonprofit sub-sectors, leading to reduced
applicability of the financial vulnerability measures. However, insufficient equity
balance is still found to be predicative of nonprofit failure.

▼ This dissertation examines how states and
international
organizations (IOs) can be held democratically
accountable for respecting human rights. Political theorists have
criticized the democratic deficit in international
organizations,
such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. These IOs
have the power to limit human rights, but their policymakers are
not
subject to democratic accountability through elections. The
dilemma for democratic theory is that the existing system of
accountability for international
organizations through states is
inadequate to protect human rights, yet the global democracy that
many political theorists support is unrealistic for the foreseeable
future. To reduce the democratic deficit, this dissertation offers
a deliberative theory of accountability called “deliberative
justification.” It is a model of democratic accountability that
would more strongly protect human rights than accountability
through states, while being more feasible than global democracy.
Deliberative justification is distinct from the leading theories of
accountability, such as accountability through non-governmental
organizations (NGOs), in that I emphasize the human right of the
affected people to participate in deliberation to hold
international
organizations accountable. Deliberative justification
is required for the instrumental reason that it protects the human
rights of the affected people, and for the intrinsic reason that it
respects their equal moral agency, or their capacity to understand
and make moral arguments about how they ought to be treated. The
dissertation applies deliberative justification not only to
international
organizations, but also to the question of how to
hold states more democratically accountable for their impact on the
human rights of non-citizens.

▼ The purpose of this study was to establish the extent to which CBOs in Kisumu East District
apply Ansoff s Product Market Growth Strategy. In this context the study examined the four
Ansoffs growth Strategies namely: Market Penetration, Market Development, Product
Development and Diversification Strategies. The study was descriptive in nature. The population
of interest consisted of Community Based Organizations in Kisumu East District which
numbered 223 CBOs. Given the large number of CBOs, a sample size was targeted and random
sampling conducted. Primary data was collected using a structured questionnaire administered to
the respondents through drop and pick later method. Out of a targeted sample of 69 CBOs, 59 of
them responded giving 85% response rate while data was analyzed using mean scores, standard
deviation and t-tests. Findings showed that CBOs apply all the four growth strategies with
market penetration being the most widely applied. The respondents stated relevance in
services/products offering as the most influencing factor to their strategic choice while attracting
donor funding remained the least. On views on how to improve on the capacities and growth of
local CBOs, majority respondents expressed improved funding, improved community
mobilization and improved method of service/products delivery as most applicable. Study
findings present market penetration strategy as the most preferred through free added services.
This is an indication of what heads of CBOs should pursue in order to achieve their
organizational growth. Pursuit of Relevance in service offerings and competition are leading
factors influencing choice of strategy. While the study served to fill a knowledge gap, it has well
opened more areas like exploring levels of competition within CBOs by scholars. The fact that
there is growth in CBOs should inform the Government and other nongovernmental
organizations that CBOs have a role to play in achieving millennium goals. Thus, handling of
CBOs operational limitations like lack secure and permanent facilities are crucial dimensions for
their growth.

▼ This Practical Attachment report is based on a PA that students carried out at UNZA The report has revealed the various problems that the institution experiences. Inadequate funding from government is the major source of problems. This has resulted into managements failure to meet some of its obligations objectives. Other problems are shortage of teaching staff and accommodation for both members of staff and students. This PA also identified other problems unrelated to funding. Some of these problems were due to organizational / management weaknesses. The members of staff are demotivated and do often exhibit a lackadaisical approach to their work. Above all, there is a lacuna in the institution's internal and external communication, this has led to mistrust of management by the workers. Strikes by all workers and riots by students have been identified as major 'weapons' for getting whatever they want from either management or the government. Strikes and riots have on many occasions led to premature closures. These problems have put UNZA's credibility at stake. Although there are all these problems, effective organisationsal communication can be used to reduce them and change the image of UNZA. A strong organizational and management base can change the operations of the institution. It is for this reason that the students recommended that management should involve all stakeholders/interest groups in the planning of various projects for the University. This should be done at each stage. There should also be smooth flow of information between management and workers, management and students, management and the government and the government and students. All business ventures should be reorganized to run profitably. These can only be achieved through effective organizational communication.

▼ After its popularization by the Brundtland Commission (World Commission on Environment and Development 1987), sustainable development rapidly became an ideal promoted and claimed by a vast majority of governmental and nongovernmental
organizations, academics, and planners. Lack of specificity in its definition and its vague and all encompassing scope have allowed entities around the world to include it in their agendas as a non-specific goal and strategy for the future (Cl??men??on 2012). This has facilitated the implementation of policy and projects claiming to produce sustainable development without any supportable evidence of social, environmental and economic balance in their scope, methods, or approach (Purvis & Granger 2004).
A framework is required to support the creation of projects that are genuinely sustainable, especially in the international arena. As part of this framework, guidelines for characteristics and requirements for sustainability at various scales are necessary. While many best management practices and approaches have been developed, there remains little consensus as to scale of implementation. While sustainability can be addressed at multiple scale levels, it often becomes problematic when moving between scale levels, i.e. scaling up or down. Guidance for sustainable development at all scales would enable, for example, translation of systems-oriented problems to the site scale, and materials use to the national scale, among others. To begin addressing this concern it is necessary to investigate what sustainable development projects are being attempted and at what scale they are being attempted at, and one must look to the projects of major non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) as they are currently the largest driving force in the sustainable development movement (Scherrer 2009).
The goal of this study was to evaluate the projects by the top five Environmental Think Tanks who have consistently ranked in the Top 10 of the Global Go To Think Tanks Index Report from 2008 to 2012, and the United Nations Environment Projects. Projects completed by these
organizations over the five year period spanning 2008 to 2012 were collected from each organization???s website listings of projects, both completed and in progress, that were categorized under the term ???sustainable development???. Next, content analysis was used to analyze each of the projects in order to categorize them by scale, how sustainable development was applied in each project, and how the projects addressed social, environmental and economic issues. The results of the study show a focus on singular issues without regard for their geographic or economic context, an attempt to address environmental systems within a politically defined area, and decisions oriented to support funding goals rather than provide long-term strategies for independence. From the findings, recommendations are provided for creating a more holistic approach to sustainable development that focuses on repeatable and measurable results at appropriate scales in…

▼ In China, foundations are fast-growing nonprofit
organizations. By operating projects and making grants, foundations
play a vital role in nonprofit and social development. Due to a
series of charity scandals since the 2000s, the government and the
public are demanding increased transparency by nonprofit
organizations in China. The foundations, as a result, have to
conduct transparency practices in order to survive and develop.
In practice, however, the extent of transparency varies greatly
among foundations. Few studies have looked at the transparency of
Chinese organizations, and fewer still have examined transparency
practices at the individual organization level. This research seeks
to fill this gap by exploring the transparency practices of
foundations in China. Specifically, it frames the transparency of
foundations by identifying the state and non-state actors’
transparency practices, detects the general pattern of transparency
by analyzing the forces that drive or hinder the transparency
practices of foundations, and examines the mechanisms of
transparency practices by individual foundations.
This research
employs both quantitative data analysis and qualitative case
studies. Data analysis utilizes a sample of 2,074 foundations and
case studies analyze six representative Chinese foundations. The
empirical findings show that three forces form the general pattern
of foundations’ transparency: Resource dependence, governance and
institution. Dependence on external resources, board governance and
strategies, and government institutions significantly determine
transparency practices by foundations. The case analysis further
demonstrates that individual foundations’ transparency practices
are in line with the general pattern at the sectoral level. Due to
their particular backing and experience, each foundation has a
unique transparency mechanism. Stability of resources, leadership
style, government backing, operating strategy and fundraising
strategy are the main factors that shape individual organizations’
uniqueness in developing transparency measures.
This research
contributes to the existing literature by developing organization
theories in the Chinese context, and enriching transparency studies
by shedding light on the transparency mechanism by individual
organizations.

▼ Recent literature on race in
organizations discusses
the racial inequalities embedded in organizational structure but
lack an account of how the racialized practices of the field are
reproduced when
organizations form. I develop a new concept, white
normative isomorphism, to understand how racialized practices are
adopted at the foundation of new
organizations. I consider the case
of National Public Radio (NPR), a non-profit media organization.
The legacy of racial segregation in the radio field shaped NPR’s
standards on hiring, technology, and programming. Though at their
surface race-neutral, these standards inhibited the inclusion of
Black voices into NPR’s workforce, station membership, and
programming.

▼ This capstone project was designed to develop and provide knowledge and identify skills for local inactive NGOs [Nongovernmental
Organizations] only on how to improve on finance management and HR. The project does not intend to teach local NGOs fundraising and voluntarism. The action plan to implement the mission statement demands a more concrete step towards opening a new NGO, named the Center for NGO Development (CND). This organization, if executed properly, will be a resource and full-service training center to help other local NGOs strengthen internal finance and HR capacities. It is anticipated that CND will succeed and enlarge its mission by adapting self-financing strategies and contracting volunteers to produce products and services in forms of manuals and trainings for which an NGO client will be charged a fee.

▼ M.Com. (Business Management)
Communication is the focal point of the enterprise. It is central to the control and survival of organisations, and is a prerequisite to effective management. Consequently it can be stated that communication pervades'the total managerial process, integrating the managerial functions and linking the enterprise with its environment. The present study set out to define the concept of communication and to develop a theoretically sound model of organisational communication with the objective of providing a frame of reference for future research. A literature survey was conducted during which the concept of communication was traced from its semantic origins through to contemporary interpretations thereof. A subject as complex as communication is best approached through an in-depth, comprehensive observation from different angles and varying perspectives. The variables in the communication process were discussed, utilising communication models as a theoretical framework. In addition, the role of perception in communication was reviewed. Communication variants and the concepts of enterprise, organisational environment. organisational communication structure. formal and informal communication channels were discussed. This review and subsequent analysis served as the theoretical foundation for conceiving a model of organisational communication. The components of organisational communication are presented in a model of organisational communication. The framework of organisational communication advanced in this model is multidimensional; it presents the concept of communication not as an isolated phenomenon or a singular, purely idealised process, but as interrelated constituent processes that operate at varying levels of complexity. Finally, a comment is made on the actuality of the organisational communication model and a multitude of research opportunities are indicated.

▼ Religious congregations are vital in promoting political and social activism among their attendees, and with over two thirds of U.S. adults having some affiliation with a religious congregation, researchers have routinely explored this mobilizing power. Initial efforts have routinely emphasized the importance of religiosity, church attendance, and values; however, these approaches have not explored an important interaction between attendees and congregations: the relationship between organizational activism opportunities and an attendees commitment to an organization. I correct this oversight by asking three interrelated questions. First, given the importance of organizational activism opportunities, why do some congregations provide opportunities while others do not? Second, why is there variation in the level of attendee activism, despite being exposed to similar activism opportunities or having similar levels of commitment to an organization. Finally, given the importance of commitment to an organization, and activism, why might there be variation in an attendees level of commitment to a congregation?I answer these questions with three empirical chapters and by asserting that religious congregations are like other secular
organizations, and importantly, that these
organizations are appropriable and voluntary, meaning that people can freely join or leave, but the organization can be co-opted to offer additional functions beyond the primary purpose. The first study (Chapter 3) explores why congregations are appropriated to make references to or opportunities for social and political action, assessing the importance of both congregational and leader characteristics. The second research question (Chapter 4) addresses why some individuals within congregations with opportunities for action respond favorably (e.g. higher levels of action) while others ignore the call for action through an overview of organizational commitment and willingness to engage in additional actions for the organization. The final empirical chapter and overarching research question asks why some attendees have varying levels of organizational commitment by building on organizational literature and an exploration of organizational conflict.Although previous efforts to explain religious activism signify the importance of multiple levels, the attendee, the congregation, and the community, those attempts continue to be limited by the exclusion of potentially important determinants, blinkered by their single level approach to religious activism. To account for the interaction between
organizations and attendees, this project relies on data from the 2008/2009 U.S. Congregational Life Survey (USCLS) to test the hypotheses outlined in Chapters 3-5 and account for provides key benefits not found among alternative national samples of religious congregations, such as the surveying of attendees and leaders in addition to constructing a congregational profile. Thus, this dissertation uses multiple nested hierarchical models to test the interrelations between…

▼ Though there are many nonprofit
organizations that have multiple sites, there has been limited work exploring this type of agency (Young & Faulk, 2010). There have been studies that have looked at International Nongovernmental
Organizations (INGOs), one type of Multisite Nonprofit Organization (MNO), but there has been significantly less research exploring national MNOs. To better understand national MNOs, this study examines what makes these nonprofits unique, what conflicts exist within MNOs, and the relationships between those in the affiliate office and those in the central office. Dual organizational identification (Vora & Kostova, 2007), which looks at identification with multiple levels of an organization and cooperation theory (Deutsch, 1949a, b), which explores what leads to cooperation and competition within an organization, are used as theoretical frameworks in understanding MNOs. This study looks at 9 disease-specific US-based MNOs, using a mixed-methods approach. To start, a survey was sent out to those in the affiliate and the central office, asking about organizational identification at multiple levels, cooperation, distance, and perceived organizational support (POS). One hundred and three people took part in this survey, including 82 people from the affiliate. Furthermore, 26 people took part in interviews following this survey. During these interviews, organizational structure and intraorganizational relationships were discussed. This study finds that there are several conflicts that occur specifically in MNOs between those in the central office and those in the affiliate office. This includes centralization versus decentralization, the perception of the central office, the requirements of the affiliates, fees and fee structures, the direction of the organization, and personality/individual issues. The lack of trust acted as a mediator to those conflicts. Lastly, outcomes of these conflicts include the affiliate leaving the organization, individuals in the affiliate leadership leaving the organization, no changes at all, or changes in the central office. The structure and the lifecycle of the affiliate are aspects of MNOs that differentiate them from
organizations with single sites. Within MNOs, some
organizations have their affiliates obtain their own 501(c)(3) status, while others do not.
Organizations sometimes also use a mixed structure, where some of the affiliates operate under their own 501(c)(3) status while other affiliates within the same agency are under the central office’s 501(c)(3) certification. Furthermore, some
organizations have their affiliates as staff-run, some are volunteer-run, and some
organizations are mixed. A 3x3 table exploring these two variables presents one way to better understand MNO structure. MNOs are not monolithic
organizations; rather, they are diverse in the ways affiliates are structured and managed. Furthermore, the affiliate lifecycle is examined, which includes affiliate birth, and growth, stasis, and decline. Affiliates can go through these three…

▼ This study examined the creation of the earliest Greek letter
organizations, including Black Greek letter
organizations (BGLOs) who heavily influenced the establishment of recently established ethnic-based Greek letter
organizations (REGLOs). The tradition of hazing through initiation rites/organization rituals remains prevalent today. The historical relationship between Greek letter
organizations and hazing activities provides the foundation for studying hazing behaviors and perceptions specific to REGLOs. Theoretical frameworks were used to develop an understanding of student identity development and the impact of influential peer groups in the perpetuation and even increased severity of hazing activities.
While existing research has been able to conclude the overwhelming presence of hazing activities in the earliest fraternities and sororities as well as BGLOs, a large information gap still exists regarding hazing activities in REGLOs. Do the same problems with hazing exist in REGLOs or do these groups experience different problems? Without researching the potential hazing behaviors within these specific communities and the attitudes of the members, administrators are unable to identify the most appropriate methods of addressing hazing behaviors and creating prevention strategies.

A population of 345 individuals were identified based on their enrollment and membership in one of the 17 recognized REGLOs at a public, four-year university in California. A quantitative survey was distributed to 342 total participants. One hundred participant responses were chosen for analysis, equating to a 29.24% response rate.
Conclusions and Recommendations
This research study concluded that hazing activities do occur in REGLOs. The study findings revealed that missing sleep, singing and chanting in a public situation, and being yelled at by other members are the most common among REGLOs, which differ significantly from those in previously published national data. In addition, participants responded almost unanimously that they understood the definition of hazing and they had not participated in hazing activities; however, the results showed hazing behaviors are still occurring in REGLOs in significant percentages. Large disconnections currently exist between three components: what members know about hazing, what members believe about hazing, and what members actually do that is considered hazing.

▼ The characteristics of particular generations have a significant impact on how nonprofit organizations identify and cultivate potential donors. The Millennial generation has been compared to Baby Boomers in many ways, particularly in regards to financial and philanthropic habits. As Millennials enter the workforce and become the largest population, outgrowing Baby Boomers, nonprofit organizations must adapt fundraising methods to accommodate the characteristics of this particular generation. These methods include the use of technology, cultivation strategies targeting Millennials, and establishing patterns for long term donor development. By focusing on the characteristics of Millennials, these methods will prove to be effective for long term success.

▼ The purpose of this study was to describe the skills associated with self-leadership of students attending a two year post-secondary technical college. Self-leadership is defined as a self-influence process through which people achieve the self-direction and self-motivation necessary to perform (Manz, 1986). The three constructs outlined in Manz’s (1986) self-leadership theory served as dependent variables and included behavior-focused strategies, natural-reward strategies, and constructive-thought pattern strategies. Behavior-focused strategies include self-imposed ways individuals lead themselves to face the challenges, make the sacrifices, and take the necessary action to achieve a task. Often the task may be difficult, unattractive, and unpleasant, but essential. The specific strategies for an individual managing his/her behavior include self-observation, self-goal setting, self-reward, self-punishment, and self-cueing. Natural-reward strategies focus on rewards that are so closely tied to a given task or activity that the two cannot be separated. These are incentives built into doing the task. Constructive-thought patterns are habitual ways of thinking that result in a positive outcome. Examples of constructive-thought patterns include self-talk and mental imagery. The benefit of positive thinking offers the potential to help improve personal effectiveness just as much as
behavioral strategies (Neck & Manz, 2007). The primary independent variable was student membership in career and technical student organization.
This quantitative research involved surveying students. The causal comparative study consisted of two groups of students; those who were members of career and student
organizations and those who were not members. The instrument selected to assess students’ self-perception of self-leadership skills was the Revised Self-Leadership Questionnaire (RSLQ), developed by Houghton and Neck (Houghton & Neck, 2002). Data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 16.0. Descriptive statistics and a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were calculated and the results reported.
No significant differences were found in the self-leadership strategies of students who participated in career and technical student
organizations and those who did not. Additional research is needed to determine the benefits of career and technical student
organizations.

▼ I examine the relation between funding sources and agency costs in not-for-profit
organizations (NFPs). Resource dependency theory suggests that NFP governance is determined by the demand for monitoring by fund providers. More restrictive funds are associated with greater monitoring and vice-versa. I predict that NFPs deriving a higher proportion of their revenue from government grants (a more restrictive funding source) will exhibit lower agency costs and NFPs deriving a higher proportion of their revenue from investment income (a less restrictive funding source) will exhibit higher agency costs. I analyze funding compositions of 93,409 NFP-year observations from 1992 to 2006, and find that NFPs that derive a greater proportion of their revenue from government grants pay lower CEO compensation and have higher efficiency ratios. In contrast, NFPs that derive a greater proportion of their revenue from investment income pay higher CEO compensation and have lower efficiency ratios.

▼ In this dissertation, I conduct a cross-national comparison of three community
organizations in the US, UK, and Germany and show how these models of collective representation have been able to sustain their original goals of mobilizing people and building power for social change. Based on participant observation, interviews, and archival analysis, I show, first, how the community
organizations emerged in each context. Here, I emphasize the political opportunity structure as well as the strategic capacities of the founders. Second, I show that despite being embedded in very different institutional contexts, each organization has a strong capacity of mobilizing its members. To account for this similarity, I argue that the
organizations develop a similar "hybrid logic of organizing" combining elements from a bureaucracy and from a social movement within their structure and culture. Differences in terms of membership growth, however, come to the forefront as well. Being embedded in a different context is not a sufficient explanation, but I argue it is important to understand the mechanisms of creative borrowing. Each organizer had to creatively adapt the model to make it work within the context. Finally, I illustrate under which conditions an organization can maintain its vitality and its capacity to mobilize its members over time. Again, I show the importance of agency or corrective mechanisms that come into play in the form of reflection and deliberation between the members and the organizers to make sure the organization sticks to its original mission. This dissertation contributes to the theoretical debates on the role of alternative forms of collective representation, the development of
organizations, and the factors affecting their relative success.

▼ This research aimed at the impact that salutogenesis
(Antonovsky 1979) has on an individual’s level of engagement (Kahn
1990) in manufacturing corporations in an emerging economy. While
managers were becoming more aware of the importance of a positively
engaged workforce, Breed, Cilliers and Visser (2006) have suggested
that the understanding of what constitutes an engaged work force is
lacking among managers in the emerging economies. In order to
effectively investigate the relationship between these two positive
psychological concepts, the focus has been to include the
relationship between salutogenesis (Antonovsky 1979) as the parent
concept and the salutogenesic constructs Sense of Coherence (SOC),
Locus of Control (LOC), Learned Resourcefulness (LR) and Hardiness.
The impact that salutogenesis, (Antonovsky 1979) has on
Organisational Engagement (OE) (Kahn 1990) and its facets
Absorption, Dedication, Identification and Vigour (Schaufeli et al
2002) was revealed using a quantitative analytical technique and
descriptive analysis (Zikmund 2003). Using saturation sampling and
an adapted Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) (Schaufeli and
Bakker 2003), 422 employees working at the head office of a
manufacturing corporation were surveyed. The outcome of the
research presented a strong case that there is a very high
correlation between salutogenesis and engagement.

▼ In 1977, a Seattle judge, exasperated at having to make life-altering decisions for children with little information, founded the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program. In 2010, 75,000 people in 49 states volunteered their time to advocate for a child or sibling set in foster care. This project is aimed at understanding the issues of voice and advocacy imbedded within the organization Advocates For Kids and within the foster care system at large through critical ethnography. Further, this dissertation aspires to illuminate the complex ethics at play in the foster care system. This dissertation seeks to reveal the complicated ways in which the law is enacted by individuals such as foster parents, judges, and lawyers.
Specifically, the dissertation provides an in-depth examination of the role of the Court Appointed Special Advocate. CASAs are volunteers trained by the nonprofit organization, Advocates For Kids, who advocate on behalf of children in foster care. I collected data via interviews, observation, document examination, and reflexivity to present a crystallized account of the issues of voice and advocacy in the work of Advocates For Kids. Based on the data, I expound three categories of voice at play in the work of VFC: Imagined Voice, Monitored Voice, and Stifled Voice. I also argue that volunteers intentionally perform privilege in order to ethically advocate for the children with whom they work. The dissertation concludes with a performative script based on the project designed to represent the complexity of the foster care system.

▼ The study set out to investigate the challenges faced by NGOs in carrying out supplementary feeding programmes in Zimbabwe’s rural areas. CARE and PLAN International in Zimbabwe were the two NGOs used as case studies and their operations in the Lower Gweru district of the Midlands Province Zimbabwe provided the empirical data for this study. This study was principally qualitative in nature as it sought to provide an in-depth analysis of the main challenges that NGOs face when carrying out supplementary feeding programmes in the rural areas of Zimbabwe. For the purpose of collecting data the study relied on Focus Group Discussions, in-depth interviews with key informants and document study. The key informants included Country Directors, Programme and Field officers at both CARE and PLAN International who had intimate knowledge of some of the challenges that their supplementary feeding programmes faced. Challenges that faced CARE and Plan International’s supplementary feeding programmes were categorized into two themes, internal and external organizational challenges. Internally the study revealed that the NGOs were unable to retain critical personnel such as nutritionists and programme officers. It also emerged from the study that field officers were involved in the thefts of food meant for the supplementary feeding programmes. The management of the supplementary feeding programmes was made difficult by lack of adequate information about the target beneficiaries. Further the study noted that there were contestations when it came to the selection of the beneficiaries of the programme. It was also found that during the rainy season it was difficult to 8 avail food timeously to the beneficiaries of the supplementary feeding programmes. It emerged from the study that supplementary feeding programmes were victims of political interference as the government and war veterans were suspicious that the programmes were being used to influence the voting behavior of the recipients. The global financial crisis also limited the capacity of the donors to continue availing substantial amounts of money for food procurement. As part of the broader strategy to increase the effectiveness of the NGOs in carrying supplementary feeding programmes this study recommended that NGOs should re-strategize on how they remunerate key personnel such as nutritionists. The NGOs through their mother body NANGO should constantly engage government so that there is a good working relationship supportive of poverty reduction through supplementary feeding programmes

▼ Since its inception more than three decades ago, there
has been a prolific adoption of the matrix organisational design
across diverse industries. Despite the ubiquity of matrix
organisations, there remains several challenges primarily related
to interpersonal relationships; most notably ambiguity of authority
as a result of the dual command structure. This study examines the
perceptions of the types of power and influence mechanisms used by
the direct functional manager and the indirect project manager to
influence project personnel. The effect of the types of influence
mechanisms used on attitudinal outcomes is also examined with a
view to understand the impact on project personnel performance. The
research was conducted using a two phase design. The first phase
was qualitative with various stakeholders required to validate the
constructs of power and influence identified in the literature and
identify new constructs. The results from phase one and the
literature review findings were used to develop a self-administered
questionnaire for phase two. Quantitative data was obtained from 23
functional managers, 28 project managers and 101 project personnel
in South Africa, Italy and Canada from one large project execution
and technology company. There appears to be a large perceptual gap
between managers and project personnel. Two themes that emerge are
the perceived use of inspirational and personal influence
mechanisms by managers in comparison with the perceived use of
coercive punitive mechanisms by project personnel. Relationships
were observed between the perceptions of the type of influence
mechanisms used on project personnel and their satisfaction with
manager, performance and the amount of effort expended.
Relationships were also observed between satisfaction with each
type of manager and performance & employee engagement. Finally
the results indicate a strong relationship between the functional
manager and overall job satisfaction, highlighting the role of the
direct line management relationship.

Perception of Selected Stakeholders on the Role of NGOs in Local Development: The Case Study of Kirkos Sub-City in Addis Ababa.
Degree: 2015, Addis Ababa University

▼ Non-governmental
organizations are one of the development actors. In developing
countries like ours, where poverty affected the lives of many people, their contribution is
tremendous. The collaboration and networking of actors and common understanding on legal
and policy issues between NGO’s/CSO’s and the government are not yet developed. Therefore,
the general objective of this study is to assess the perception of selected stakeholders on the role
of NGOs in local development in kirkos sub-city of Addis Ababa.
In order to achieve the objective, the research method employed was descriptive case
study. Through the use of primary and secondary data sources the researcher has gathered the
necessary information. The survey questionnaire was used to gather the relevant quantitative
data. The qualitative data were gathered through in-depth interviews, key informants and
personal observations. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive method of analysis.
Several researches were done on NGOs contribution to the local development in Addis Ababa,
but this research focuses on NGOs contribution in Kirkos sub city, and since the findings on
NGOs contribution shows mixed result the topic still demands further research.
The major findings are that the contribution of NGOs in Kirkos sub-city in the areas of
women economic empowerment, health, education and child development is remarkable but
based on the governments urban poverty reduction and development plan there is less or no
intervention in areas of environmental intervention, microfinance, and local institutions capacity
building. Due to lack of baseline survey and research NGOs/Charities are working in similar
and limited areas. Income generation and local resource mobilization are not implemented
adequately. There are some efforts with regard to NGOs collaboration among themselves and
net-working but it is not satisfactorily implemented. There are misunderstandings on legal and
policy issues between the NGOs and the government.

▼ Nonprofit community service organisations have operated in Australia as values-based,
mission-driven social services since colonisation. By the 1990s, the effects of neo-liberal
government policies such as greater emphasis on competition for funds; outputs-based
contracts; and enforcement of more stringent accountability and compliance regimes, had
started to significantly impact their operations. In this context one of the changes
identified in the media of the time was the increasing appointment of ex-senior public
servants and ex-corporate business managers to management and CEO positions in
nonprofit organisations. The suggestion was that the sector needed to look beyond its
own workforce for superior financial and organisational management skills. In the light
of the emerging recruitment trend reported in the media, this thesis identifies and
analyses the role of organisational values in the recruitment and selection of managers
and executives in nonprofit community service organisations.
The study draws on the interdisciplinary sources of research and scholarship that focus on
three themes: nonprofit organisations, values and careers. The methodology is developed
from social constructivism and grounded research theory and involves analysis of the
following three datasets.
1. A content analysis of 700 recruitment advertisements for nonprofit community
service managers from 2002–08. One hundred advertisements were randomly
selected from The Sydney Morning Herald for each year. SPSS, Statistica and
Excel were used to analyse the multivariate data. A qualitative approach was also
employed to see what other themes emerged from the content analysis.
2. An analysis of 22 in-depth interviews of newly appointed CEOs and the Chairs of
their selection panels completed between 2005 and 2007. Organisations were
selected in a purposeful sampling process based on organisational size, service
type, location and the recent appointment of the CEO. The interviews were
analysed using the computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software NVivo.
The coding was fluid, with constant review and revision including recursive data
collection and analysis.
3. An analysis of 212 questionnaires completed by ‘committed’ nonprofit workers
between 2006 and 2008. Commitment was determined by voluntary involvement
in learning activities specific to the sector and community services. Statistica and
SPSS were used to analyse the multivariate data which included descriptive data,
factor analysis, analysis of variance and k-means clustering.
The analyses identified that nonprofit organisations were not operating from one set of
social justice values. They were operating, all the time, from two sets of values: the
espoused social justice organisational values and a set of economic values. However,
whilst the economic values were enacted by individuals in the organisations, they were
not espoused by the organisations. Nonetheless, the operating context was value plural
and as such had the potential for values…

▼ Human resource is one of the greatest asset in any given organization. People take organizations to greatest heights when managed well. On the other hand, people can also take the organization to the lowest pit when they feel that they are being treated unfairly. Performance appraisal is one of the tool that organizations use to manage employees. Since this tool is meant to develop employees and at same time make them propel organizations to greater heights, it need to be viewed as objective in their eyes. This study was undertaken as a research project in partial fulfillment of Masters Degree in Business Administration. The objective was to look at employee perception of effectiveness of performance appraisal system in the humanitarian Non Governmental Organizations in Nairobi South. This included the level of perception of employees regarding feedback, motivation, relationship with supervisors, promotion, purpose, goal setting, consistency with organization strategy, fairness and confidentiality among others. To undertake the study, descriptive method was used by way of pre planned survey questionnaires. The respondents of this study were employees in the humanitarian Non Governmental Organizations in Nairobi South ranging from top level, senior level, middle level, junior level and subordinates. Organizations were selected using systematic sampling while employees were selected using purposive sampling. The findings showed mixed perceptions. While some areas like confidentiality, consistency with organization strategy, purpose, goal setting, were rated positively, others like feedback, fairness, promotion, improvement on relationship between employees and supervisors were rated negatively and some respondents were undecided. The study concluded that if right measures are put in place, performance appraisal is a tool that can be used to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in organizations. The study also noted suggestions from respondents, and recommended that for the appraisal to be effective, employees need to be given feedback within a reasonable time so as to gauge themselves. In addition employees need to be involved fully in the process in order to own and embrace the system. Also, review of the tool from time to time is important so as to accommodate any changes. Lastly, the appraisal system need to have an element of fairness felt by employees. Limitation of the study was taken into consideration, and suggestions for further studies made.

▼ The purpose of the study was to analyze the impact of social media to corporate
organizations in Kenya using the case of Safaricom Limited. The objectives of the study
were to: establish the most widely used social media tools by Safaricom Limited, to
determine the factors that influence social media usage at Safaricom limited, to find out
how social media usage benefits Safaricom Limited and to find out challenges associated
with social media usage at Safaricom Limited. The study reviewed relevant literature
from previous studies done on social media and what their findings were in regard to how
organizations used them. For this study, the Technology, Organization and Environment
(TOE) framework was used as the appropriate framework. This model is consistent with
the theory of innovation of diffusion in organizations. Descriptive research design was
used because the problem was specific and well defined. Questionnaires were used to
obtain quantitative data on the subject with the aim of having facts on the situation.
Interview of key informants in the area of social media was also carried out so as to get
more information from authorities in the field. Analysis of social media pages like
facebook was also used to determine the kind of interaction which goes on there between
Safaricom and its customers and stakeholders at large. This study found out that Social
media is a growing phenomenon and have a big impact on organizations. These
technologies have shifted the emphasis of internet services from being consumptionbased
towards becoming interactive and collaborative, creating new opportunities for
interaction between organizations and publics. Social media such as Facebook,
twitter,Youtube and MySpace have a big impact on organizations’ continual
communication with customers and the public since it has attracted millions of users,
many of whom have integrated these sites into their daily practices. Even though social
media has been recognized to be a powerful medium in business practice, there is lack of
understanding in terms of how social media impacts the organization. Social media afford
customers and publics the ability to see information related to the status of ongoing
activities in the organization hence providing a marketing platform for an organization.
Further, unlike other technologies used for organizational knowledge management, social
media may not require tremendous investment or maintenance by organizational officials.
Social media opens up a whole new world for organizations by providing an endless
array of potential interactions with consumers, which is the main reason why there is a
need for an increase in studies on social media. Social media afford users the ability to
make their behaviors, knowledge, preferences, and communication network connections
that were once invisible visible to others in the organization.
