Abstract

This study aims to conduct a literature review on factors that influence the implementation and design of performance measurement systems in nonprofit organizations.Design/methodology/approachThe research strategy is conceived through a literature review focused on the analysis of authorship, supported by bibliometric techniques such as citation, co-citation and co-authorship social networks.FindingsModels and theories proposed for measuring performance in non-profit organizations are being researched, starting to form an intellectual structure related to performance measurement systems and nonprofits. Three main research topics have been given more attention: strategic performance and public service performance, health-care performance and nonprofit operations strategy and performance measurement.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is limited to scientific journal papers and could benefit from the addition of new sources of information such as conference papers, books and standards.
