ORGANIZATIONAL SOCIAL CAPITAL IN NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS: A LATIN AMERICAN CASE

Resumo

This research seeks to understand how a theory consolidated in the north hemisphere, named Organizational Social Capital, can assist nonprofit organizations in resource mobilization in the Latin American context. In order to achieve this goal, we analyze an inter-organizational project composed of different kinds of organizations (profit and nonprofit with public and private purposes). This proposal involved 100 actors, including Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and some traditional Brazilian organizations such as Gerdau, Petrobras, and NGO Parceiros Voluntarios, among others. In addition to this goal, secondarily, this paper seeks to analyze how this theory can be applied to this context, bringing new insight, contributions, and limitations.
