Nonprofit Organizations, Community Elderly Care, Stakeholder Theory, Stakeholder Participation, Content-Analysis Based ReviewAbstract
Purpose: To clarify the distinctive positions of essential stakeholders and to explore a systematic understanding of the service system of the NPO community elderly care sector, this study seeks to construct a theoretical basis for this sector from the stakeholder perspective.
Methodology: This study adopted the content-analysis based systematic review to synthesize relevant studies and used inductive content analysis method to analyze the mainstream theoretical schools and stakeholder classifications of stakeholder theory in a time-sequence manner, and compare different stakeholder participation modes of the sector.
Findings: Themes of the theory development, classifications of stakeholder theory, and the practices of NPO community elderly care from stakeholder perspectives were coded. It was found that Wheeler and Sillanpa (1998)’s stakeholder model, as a theoretical prototype, helps to explain the roles of essential stakeholders in the sector from social dimensions.
Unique contributions to theory, policy and practice: this study contributed to constructing a conceptual framework exclusively for the NPO community elderly care sector. It is implicated to lend some theoretical basis for clarifying the distinctive roles of essential stakeholders for the management of NPOs to overcome current challenges in practice and providing insights for practitioners to promote the sectoral sustainable development.
