Provides information for practitioners who embrace evidence-based management. Supports directors who serve on nonprofit boards who want to seek continuous improvement on governing the NPO.A Model of Organizational Practices for a Board of Directors to Govern the Nonprofit Organization Problem Domain Model for NPO board to make an informed decision about how to identify, attract, and retain qualified board members. Benefit to the community who depends on a NPO for support – effective governance by the board translates to survival of the NPO. Results Nonprofit organizations are a large part of the social and economic landscape: More than 1.44 million nonprofit organizations (NPOs) were registered with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in 2012.

Tomato seedlings were transplanted into pre-treated soils and watered daily in the afternoon for a period of five months. The general growth and yield performances were in the order of NPK > Chicken droppings > Cow dung. The fruits were harvested at maturity (red-ripened stage) and subjected to bioactive compounds analysis using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The results of the study showed strong relationship between the level of macronutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the soil and the level phenolics, flavonoids, beta-carotene and lycopene contents in tomato. The level of beta-carotene was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the fruits cultivated in the NPK amended soil which was totally different to the result of other bioactive compounds like phenolics, flavonoids, and lycopene which recorded their highest concentrations in the fruits harvested from control and cow dung amended soil. Antioxidant activity was determined by adding 2,2-diphenyl-1picrylhydrazyl to an aliquot of methanolic extract. The ability to scavenge radical was measured by reading the decrease in purple coloration of the solution using Ultraviolet-Visible (UV) Spectrophotometer. The tomato fruit from cow dung showed highest percentage of radical scavenging activities.

This chapter introduces a study that examines organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs) as voluntary acts with potential to support or limit innovation development processes such as idea generation, transformation, and knowledge sharing. The dynamic between organizational contexts, OCBs, and their role in fostering or inhibiting innovation development has been examined using a systematic review of evidence with a realist theoretical framework. Results show that dependent on various contextual characteristics, OCBs act as facilitators or inhibitors of processes that lead to innovative outcomes. Even when a growth strategy based on innovation is not actively pursued, some OCBs can enhance leaders' efforts to adapt their organizations to the external environment as long...
