| Résumé : |
Governance is a challenging task in nonprofit organizations. Previous research focused on established and professionalized nonprofit entities but ignored the governance configurations of the newly founded nonprofit organizations. As it was mentioned by many scholars, these newly founded nonprofits face the liability of newness and are under the pressure of internal and external stakeholders. To fill this research gap, this paper examines the different governance models of the newly founded nonprofit organizations. Precisely, an exploratory study was conducted based on a sample of twenty-four new nonprofit social service organizations in the Sahel region of Tunisia. The findings reveal that there are four main governance models based on the relative power of founding board members and external funders. Researchers can use this typology to determine the different configurations of power distribution in the newly founded nonprofit social service organizations. Also, practioners can benefit from this typology to determine the specific factors that may affect the internal decision making in these organizations. In contrast to previous studies, this research shows that it will be interesting to have a wide view of governance that is not limited to the unique focus on board. Further, this article sheds light on the possible governance challenges that are facing the nonprofit founding board chairs through showing the possible conflicts that may arise between them, external funders and the founding board members. |
