Title: The Two Faces of Political Embeddedness: Fundraising Performance of Charitable Organizations
Abstract: We investigate whether and how political connectedness contributes to fundraising performance of charitable organizations in an emerging economy. We highlight the associated benefit and cost of political embeddedness from a stakeholder’s perspective, arguing that the value of political embeddedness is contingent on the nature of embeddedness (political ties created at the organizational level vs. political ties formed at personal level), the identity of corporate donors, as well as the visibility of the charity. Based on a sample of Chinese charities during the period of 2005-2012, we find that the performance implications differ for the two forms of political embeddedness across different donors and charities.
