Looking Under the Hood Challenges and Remedies for Cross‐Country Surveying of Nonprofit Organizations

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: ABSTRACT Large‐N cross‐country surveying is a promising, yet methodologically challenging way to contextualize existing research, as it allows researchers to formulate and test hypotheses that verify under what conditions relationships are (un)likely to materialize. Integrating insights from the survey error‐ and equivalence literature with our own recent experience with cross‐country surveying, this article offers guidance on how to navigate the methodological challenges associated with cross‐country survey sampling and –measurement. Doing so, we provide a learning case that stimulates further debate about and increased engagement with large‐N cross‐country comparison in nonprofit research.
