Abstract

Accountability to stakeholders is an important factor for the survival of nonprofit organizations (NPOs). This study extends previous research on other nonprofit categories by examining web-based accountability (WBA) for youth development organizations. The size of the effect of independent variables used in previous studies is determined to be even more significant for youth development organizations than those of other previously studied categories of nonprofits. Organizational density and state generosity index have large effects on WBA, while prosecution and detection indices have medium effects. State ethics score has a small effect on youth organization WBA. Practical implications for both organizations and researchers are discussed, and the effects are also comparable across studies.
