Abstract

Prior studies which have examined the relationship between
Entrepreneurial Orientation EO and performance have mainly focused on for-profit
organizations. This is one of the first few studies that have explicitly modeled
and empirically tested the relationship between EO and performance of Nonprofit
Organizations NPOs. Based on a survey conducted in China, 51 usable questionnaires
were returned from different categories of NPOs. Using regression analysis,
the relationship between EO and NPOs146 performance and the possible mediating
effect of Organizational Learning OL were investigated. The research results
indicated that EO can positively and significantly affect NPOs146 performance
and OL fully mediated the relationship between EO and performance. This paper
not only adds to the still limited research of EO and OL in the nonprofit context
but also provides implications for NPOs146 practitioners as to how to improve
organizational performance.
