Abstract
This paper explored the potential configurations of governance, brand governance, and social media strategies leading to effective organizational performance. A fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis including 28 Canadian national sport organizations (NSOs) and six conditions highlighted two sufficient configurations for effective performance, defined as either budget per capita or athlete numbers. Although no single component of governance, brand governance, or social media strategy is necessary to succeed overall, brand reputation and the strategic use of social media to communicate NSO identity were common to both identified configurations. Accountability was important for effective performance in terms of budget per capita, while transparency was more important for higher athlete numbers. Thus, condition specificity is paramount in non-profit organizations that often have multiple objectives. Our study provides substantial theoretical and managerial implications, including the need to integrate brand governance and social media in non-profit organizations’ overall governance activities.
