Research Provocation

“Development assistance, whether through bilateral, UN or NGO channels, has often acted as a North-South conveyor belt for Western rationality...This approach...may be fundamentally alien to the way that social change is perceived in non-Western cultures.” Donini, A. (1995) ‘The bureaucracy and the free spirits: stagnation and innovation in the relationship between the UN and NGOs,’ Third World Quarterly, Vol. 16, September 1995, 421-439.

In an attempt to understand this problem, I chose to apply the Western management construct of organizational effectiveness (OE) to five Indonesian grassroots nongovernmental organizations to learn how they perceive, understand, interpret and implement the construct of OE in the management of their organizations.
