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.'
