Organizational Change in the Nonprofit Context: A Scoping Review of the Literature

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This scoping review takes stock of the landscape of organizational change research in the nonprofit context. Focusing on research published in leading peer-reviewed journals in nonprofit and civil society studies, we extracted 111 published articles from 1973 to 2019. Our findings provide a comprehensive overview of the field capturing how organizations plan for or react to environmental changes in either incremental or comprehensive ways. Findings indicate that most of the research focuses on social service nonprofits with a heavy focus on large-scale comprehensive changes. Based on the identified gaps in the literature, this study discusses implications for future research and implications for practice.
