ABSTRACT: The
research purpose was to examine the influence of available resources on
organizational effectiveness. The research philosophy was positivism, with explanatory
and descriptive research design espoused. The population was registered
non-governmental organizations (NGOs), with the sample unit as the project
managers. A questionnaire was used for data collection. Data analysis was
executed using inferential and descriptive statistics. The descriptive analysis
included standard deviation, mean and percentages, whereas inferential analysis
included regression analysis and ANOVA. The study concluded that fundraising
efforts and how funds are distributed to the various
strategic activities and operations influence
the level of efficiency in the organization process. Staff empowerment,
negatively though, significantly influenced process efficiency. The
recommendation is to develop an NGO organizational effectiveness ranking metric
to allow the classification of NGOs into categories based on levels of
effectiveness in achieving their respective missions and strategies. It was
also the aim to carry out an in-depth study of why fundraising efforts in NGOs
did not significantly influence stakeholder satisfaction.
