Abstract

Dynamics capabilities (DCs) is a relevant approach for understanding performance in the for-profit environment. However, due to the lack of studies, we cannot say the same about the nonprofit environment. Based on this potential gap, this study validates a scale to measure the DCs in the context of the Nonprofit Sector and also verifies the relationship of DCs in the performance of these organizations. Data from a survey with 169 Brazilian nonprofit organizations were analyzed through the application of confirmatory factorial analysis. The results suggest that adaptive, absorptive, mobilizing, and innovative capabilities comprise the DCs of nonprofit organizations, and the performance of these organizations can be measured by the dimensions of control and growth mechanisms. In addition, DCs have a direct and significant effect on the performance of the studied organizations.

摘要

动态能力（DC）是一种用于了解营利性环境中的绩效的相关方法。但是，由于缺乏研究，我们无法就非营利环境说同样的话。基于这一潜在差距，本研究验证了衡量非营利部门背景下DC的规模，并验证了DC在这些组织绩效中的关系。通过使用确认性因子分析，对来自169个巴西非营利组织的调查数据进行了分析。结果表明，适应性，吸收性，动员性和创新性能力构成了非营利组织的DC，而这些组织的绩效可以通过控制和增长机制的维度来衡量。此外，
