The purpose of this study is to propose a set of factors that characterize the manifestation of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) in nonprofit organizations (NPOs), and we performed a systematic review of the literature. Initially, 17 studies were identified in different databases, and after a full reading of the documents that met the objective of this study, we selected and qualitatively analyzed 14 theoretical and empirical studies about EO in the nonprofit context. The studies analyzed allowed us to understand the characteristics of organizational entrepreneurship in NPOs, through the dimensions of innovativeness, proactivity, risk‐taking, autonomy, and competitive aggressiveness, in addition to the reciprocity dimension, which emerged from the literature. By adding reciprocity as the sixth dimension of the EO construct, it was possible to group a set factors related to each dimension which, after being refined, supported the proposition of a conceptual framework for an empirical analysis of entrepreneurial behavior in different contexts of NPOs. This study contributes to the systematization of factors that configure the manifestation of EO in the nonprofit sector, by proposing a conceptual framework entailing six dimensions of EO and propositions for future studies.

非营利企业家导向：系统的文献综述和概念框架

这项研究的目的是提出一组表征非营利组织（NPO）中企业家导向（EO）表现的因素，并且我们对文献进行了系统的综述。最初，在不同的数据库中确定了17项研究，并且在充分阅读了符合本研究目标的文件之后，我们选择并定性分析了非营利性环境下EO的14项理论和实证研究。所分析的研究使我们能够通过创新，主动，冒险，自主，竞争积极性等维度来理解非营利组织中的组织创业的特征，以及从文献中发现的互惠性维度。通过将互惠性作为EO结构的第六维，可以将与每个维度相关的一组因素归为一组，这些因素经过细化后支持提出一个概念框架的命题，以便对非营利组织在不同环境下的企业家行为进行实证分析。这项研究提出了一个概念框架，该框架包含了EO的六个维度和对未来研究的主张，从而为构成非营利部门中EO表现的因素的系统化做出了贡献。
