Features of Management of Socially Oriented Non-Profit Organizations, Taking into Account Changes in the Socio-Political Environment

In the context of the aggravation of socio-political turbulence caused by both global transformations of the international system and internal changes in the public management paradigm, there is an increasing need for theoretical and methodological understanding of the mechanisms of effective management of socially oriented non-profit organizations (SONPOs), functioning as the most important agents of civil society and intermediaries between the population and government institutions. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to identify the specifics and develop recommendations for improving the management of SONPO in the context of the transformation of the socio-political environment, including institutional risks, legal restrictions, changes in the system of resource provision and communication interactions with authorities. The methodological basis of the research includes systemic and institutional approaches, elements of sociological analysis, which allowed for the complexity and validity of the conclusions reached. The analysis revealed the key problems of SONPO's management in the new conditions, including increased dependence on government funding, insufficient flexibility of organizational structures, and lack of stable communication channels with authorities and weak personnel stability. Based on the data obtained, a number of management recommendations have been developed, including the institutionalization of the project approach, digitalization of management processes, and development of strategic partnerships with businesses and authorities, as well as diversification of financial flows and advanced training of management personnel. The conclusions drawn emphasize the need to move from reactive management models to proactive strategies for adaptation, sustainability and development, which ensures increased effectiveness. And the social legitimacy of SONPO in the new socio-economic realities.
