Resource Dependence Patterns and Organizational Behavior/Structure in Korean Nonprofit Organizations
Abstract
This article examines the relationships among the three dimensions of resource dependence patterns (RDPs) and organizational formalization and goals in nonprofit organizations (NPOs). These three RDPs (that is, the appearance of the financial resource inflow) are resource dependency, resource diversity, and resource competitiveness. The empirical findings suggest that high dependency on government funding (high resource dependency) is positively associated with organizational formalization, although resource diversity does not have any explanatory power on organizational behavior and structure, and that a very competitive environment for resource acquisition significantly affects goal setting in NPOs. In particular, resource competitiveness well explains goal clarity and goal change in NPOs. NPOs with high resource competitiveness present clearer organizational goals or missions and are likely to experience frequent goal change.

“High resource dependency on government funding is also positively associated with organizational formalization (Seo, 2016) and an increase in organizational outputs (Berrett & Holliday, 2018) but negatively associated with fundraising and operational efficiencies (López de los Mozos, 2016).”

“Supporting these findings, organizations with more formalized and professionalized structures are found to leverage more government funding (Seo, 2016), which may allow them to engage in broader advocacy efforts (Dong & Lu, 2021).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
