Item COVID-19 as a nonprofit workplace crisis: Seeking insights from the nonprofit workers’ perspective(Wiley, 2021-03-17) Kuenzi, Kerry; Stewart, Amanda J.; Walk, Marlene; School of Public and Environmental AffairsDue to the COVID-19 pandemic, nonprofit organizations face increased demands for services alongside decreased revenues and must make tough choices on how to weather these stressors. Alongside these organizational changes, COVID-19 impacts nonprofit workers and could be a career shock for these individuals, potentially altering how they think of their work and career intentions, even jeopardizing their commitment to the sector. Therefore, this paper outlines a research agenda to understand how the pandemic impacts nonprofit workers and their commitment to working in the sector. Several areas for future research are identified including human resource policy, leadership development, generational differences, gender effects, nonprofit graduate education, and mission-specific work effects.Item Pause But Not Panic: Exploring COVID-19 as a Critical Incident for Nonprofit Workers(Sage, 2023-01-16) Kuenzi, Kerry; Stewart, Amanda J.; Walk, Marlene; O'Neill School of Public and Environmental AffairsCritical incidents often have significant impacts on workers, sometimes causing disruptions to career pathways and a re-evaluation of past career decisions. This article seeks to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on nonprofit workers and their commitment to the sector using a critical incidents lens. In-depth interviews with nonprofit workers provided insights on the pandemic’s impact on workers’ personal and professional lives and how they made sense of these. Changes to work including flexibility and work-from-home options were often viewed positively, yet workers expressed a loss of connection with their colleagues, mental health and well-being challenges, as well as challenges to adapt to new ways of working. In making sense of these changes, commitment to the sector was mostly sustained; however, respondents also noted a shift in priorities and expressed a desire for better balance between their personal and professional lives.Item States of COVID-19: Synthesis of State-level Nonprofit Reports on the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic(2021-05-05) Stewart, Amanda J.; Kuenzi, Kerry; Walk, Marlene; Klippel, Abby
