Nonprofit organizations are conventionally positioned as generators
of social and cultural forms of capital for the common good. As
such they occupy a different space to other types of organizations
such as corporate firms that exist primarily to generate economic
capital for private owners/shareholders. Recent years, however,
have seen professionalization promoted widely by funders,
policy-makers and nonprofit practitioners across the globe. At the
same time, there has been an increasing cross-over of employees
from private and public bodies into nonprofits. But do such shifts
open up space for the wholesale importation of managerialism into
and commercialization of the nonprofit sphere? Are nonprofits at
risk of being reconstituted as primarily economic entities, serving
the interests of a leadership elite? How are such changes in an
organization's trajectory brought about? What are the consequences
for trustees, staff, members and the nature of managerial work? The
authors engage with critical questions such as these through a
unique insider account of one professional institute experiencing
unprecedented changes that challenge its very reason for being.
Drawing on a three-year ethnography, they narrate organizational
inhabitants' struggles in their search for purpose and analyze the
myriad of changes within different aspects of organizing including
structure, strategizing, pay and reward, governance and leadership.
The book will enable readers to reframe and rethink organizational
change as a process involving power, persuasion and authority, and
will be of value to researchers, students, academics and
practitioners interested in managerial work and organizational
change in non-profit organizations.
