abstract: 'Research background: The precarious employment in non-governmental
organizations has not been the subject of thorough scientific
considerations so far. Meanwhile, the dominance of flexible forms of
employment in an organization evokes a sense of instability, insecurity
and uncertainty among employees. It weakens the relationship between
staff and the organization, which, by not providing employees with
prospects for permanent employment, creates a threat to its own
development. The COVID-19 pandemic is reinforcing these fears as the
situation in the labour market continues to deteriorate.
Purpose of the article: The purpose of this study is to identify the
factors affecting NGOs employment of contract employees, as a key
condition for crowding out precarious employment.
Methods: Logistic regression analysis was conducted based on a national
representative survey of 1500 Polish NGOs.
Findings \& value added: Its results indicate that NGOs are increasing
the employment of contract staff in order to cope with the excessive
bureaucracy of public administration. A stimulating impact on employment
is also provided by difficulties in maintaining good staff and
volunteers, as well as when there is no sense of security in running an
organization. In turn, the lack of people ready to selflessly get
involved in an organization''s activities, as well as difficulties in
accessing premises appropriate to NGOs both reduce the desire among
staff to be employed full-time. The monitoring of precarious employment
(PE) in NGOs is of key importance in the shaping and effectiveness of
national policies aimed at improving the living standards of society as
a whole. NGOs are an important element, as they fill the gaps remaining
in the implementation of such policies. In the long term, improving the
quality of full-time employment in such entities by reducing the
barriers to their activity will increase their potential for fulfilling
their social mission. To date, such barriers and their relation to
employment have not been considered in research literature. However, a
considerable proportion of employees in the Polish NGO sector may join
the ranks of those excluded from employment and deprived of income due
to the crisis on the job market caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This
article contributes to the existing literature and practice by
identifying the influence of wide spectrum of barriers of NGOs activity
on permanent employment.'
