| Περίληψη: | Although cross-sector partnerships are increasingly recognized as essential to creating social impact and local
communities are acknowledged as key potential partners, inter-organizational relationships for social impact
from the perspective of local communities have been overlooked. This article aims to contribute to closing this
research gap by identifying the motivational factors that can foster an active collaboration of local communities
with a nonprofit for social impact. Specifically, we focus on the relationships between 45 local communities and
the PN-ANMI Management Committee in Bolivia. First, we conduct a qualitative study consisting of 50 in-
terviews with local community representatives and the PN-ANMI Management Committee members. We then
perform a quantitative study of a sample of 799 community members to validate the findings from the qualitative
analysis. This mixed-methods approach reveals that environmental preservation, community well-being, self-
esteem, and organizational effectiveness are relevant factors influencing local communities’ willingness to enter
into partnerships for social impact. |
