摘要：As the traditional sources of funding for the non-profit and civil society organizations seem to be vanishing in Central & Eastern Europe entirely, a higher level of professionalism, as well as a significant improvement of efficiency are required from the entire sector. In order to identify the managerial practices of the most advanced (or, at least, the most ‘visible’) non-profit organizations in Croatia, which seem to adequately address these challenges, a survey has been conducted among the ‘high-profile’ Croatian non-profits, identified on the basis of the snowball sampling. Results of the empirical analysis indicate that the pressures from the environment are not followed by the adequate development of the managerial and other capacities of Croatian non-profits, but rather are dealt with on the basis of individual initiative/competences and ad-hoc solutions, which can be concluded both on the basis of implementation of managerial functions, as well as from the relationship between the level of organizational development and the managerial practices. Practical, case-based evidence from selected civil society organizations and related empirical results seem to confirm the conclusion on the inadequate management development in the Croatian non-profit sector and advocate the need for the academic community and other relevant institutions to get involved in the capacity-building processes within the civil sector.
