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.'
