La presente investigación abordará el análisis de la gobernanza y el desempeño de las FDN en Perú a partir de la percepción de los atletas de alto rendimiento que participaron en los Juegos Panamericanos de Lima 2019. El objetivo general es evaluar si existe correlación entre dichas variables a partir de la percepción de este grupo de interés. Para lograr los distintos objetivos planteados en este trabajo se definió un método mixto con un diseño secuencial en el se tuvo una primera etapa cualitativa y una segunda cuantitativa. En la etapa cualitativa se consultó a expertos en la gestión de una FDN a quienes se les presentaron los principales hallazgos de la literatura revisada para organizaciones internacionales. A partir de estos resultados, se pudieron identificar las dimensiones de las variables a analizar y proponer afirmaciones para cada una apartir de las cuales se elaboró un cuestionario con una escala de Likert. La encuesta se aplicó a 151 atletas que representaron al Perú en la competencia señalada. Los resultados de la etapa cualitativa evidencian que no hay consenso en la literatura internacional sobre la forma de evaluar la gobernanza y el desempeño en organizaciones deportivas y, de manera particular, en federaciones deportivas nacionales. Sin embargo, frente a la propuesta que se derivó de la revisión literaria, hubo consenso sobre las dimensiones propuestas. Los resultados de la etapa cuantitativa evidencian que hay una correlación positiva moderada entre la percepción de la gobernanza y la percepción del desempeño. Con respecto a las dimensiones de gobernanza, podemos afirmar que de las 13 afirmaciones sólo hubo 3 de ellas en las que menos del 40% estaba de acuerdo con dichas afirmaciones que fue una de las hipótesis propuesta. En el caso del desempeño, se puede afirmar que en las 3 afirmaciones de la dimensión desempeño administrativo menos del 40% de los atletas están de acuerdo con las mismas. La muestra de 151 atletas fue elegida por conveniencia y no constituye una muestra representativa de la población por lo que los resultados no pueden ser extrapolados a la misma. Además, en futuras investigaciones se puede complementar la percepción de los atletas con un indicador objetivo para cada una de las dimensiones identificadas. El aporte para un mejor entendimiento teórico sobre la gobernanza y el desempeño de una FDN será de utilidad para futuras investigaciones que se hagan sobre este tipo de organizaciones deportivas a nivel internacional. / Tesis

One of the current key challenges for nonprofit social service organisations is how to diversify resource mobilisation practices in order to build sustainable organisations that can innovatively achieve social mission. Two approaches to resource mobilisation that are promoted within Australia are social enterprise and partnering with business. Both of these approaches involve a re-orientation toward business, either in management practices or through an enduring relationship. Despite an increased interest in business-focused resource mobilisation strategies there are few successful examples of social enterprise and partnering with business emerging across the nonprofit sector. There is also scant empirically based research to understand what it takes to adopt these practices, what the consequences of adoption might be and how governments, nonprofits and business stakeholders might support their emergence. This research aims to build an evidence base to provide greater understanding of these issues. The thesis analyses data from fourteen organisational case studies of nonprofit social service organisations located across Australia. Seven of these organisations were selected because they had adopted an enterprising form of resource mobilisation and had been recognised for their achievements in this area. The other seven organisations matched these adopters in terms of mission, location, size and stage of organisational development, though had less diversified resource streams and had not attempted or successfully managed to develop a social enterprise or business partnership. Case-orientated research and qualitative comparative analysis was used in order to achieve causal complexity and a 'configurational' view of the cases (Ragin 1999). The thesis details the conditions that are both necessary and sufficient for business-focused resource mobilisation .processes to be adopted. Organisational capacity and self-efficacy are critical conditions that open up resource innovation possibilities; there is a range of other sufficient conditions that work in combination with these. There are value and ideological challenges to be negotiated by nonprofit social service organisations as they are called upon, both internally and from without, to reinvent the means with which they achieving organisational sustainability. This tension creates the need for new thinking atthe level of policy and practice - across all sectors - in order that these critical organisations that bear responsibility for the social good can successful organise within the contemporary context.
