- Description
- Most non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Bangladesh create opportunities and resources through employment, skills, education and social networks. However, research is lacking on how intellectual capital, environmental capital and social capital management (together known as integrated capital management [ICM]) contribute to NGOs’ performance. Therefore, this study has been conducted to examine the influence of ICM on the performance of NGOs in Bangladesh. The behavioural approach adopted was used to operationalize the variables and measure the organizational characteristics identified by resource-based theory (RBT). The effect of the observed variables of integrated capital management on the observed variables of organization performance (i.e. effectiveness and efficiency) was analysed. In the proposed framework, ICM was considered as the theoretical predictor of NGOs’ performance in terms of effectiveness and efficiency. The first hypothesis examined the role of ICM in NGOs in Bangladesh. The proposed model focused on the ‘Integrated Capital Management’ construct using a resource-based view, with the variables ‘Intellectual Capital Management’, ‘Social Capital Management’ and ‘Environmental Capital Management’. The second hypothesis examined the role of ICM in relation to NGOs’ organizational performance. ‘Effectiveness’ and ‘Efficiency ‘were the observed variables of the ‘Organization Performance’ construct. The sample comprised 113 NGO managers from Bangladesh. Respondents were interviewed using a questionnaire with closed-ended questions. Descriptive research was adopted as the study’s research design, with simple random sampling as the sampling technique. Using structural equation modelling (SEM), data were analysed with SPSS-AMOS software to find the structural fit between ICM and NGOs’ organizational performance. Integrated capital elements of intellectual capital, social capital and environmental capital were shown to positively exist and to be well managed by NGOs in Bangladesh. Although ICM was not found to have a perfect fit, analysis showed it had a moderate fit within a tolerable limit. Thus, the study’s findings showed that ICM has a moderate relationship with organization performance.
