2. Theoretical background and hypotheses
2.1. Defining mission statements The power of meaningful mission statements to enhance an organization's success derives mainly from its main premises. Defined as a formal written document intended to capture an organization's unique and enduring purpose, practices, and core values (Bart & Hupfer, 2004), the mission statement gives a sense of purpose and direction to the organization, legitimizes its existence while providing the context for the development and implementation of a successful strategic plan (Bartkus et al., 2006; Gray & Smelzer, 1985; Pearce & David, 1987). Other authors define mission as an organization's character, identity and reason for existence (Campbell & Yeung, 1991). Similarly, Bart and Tabone (1998: 54) emphasize that “mission statements have become recognized in modern management theory as one of the cornerstones of an organization”. The dominant belief is that a well-conceived mission statement provides a control mechanism over the behaviour of employees, assists the organization in creating a balance between the competing interests of various stakeholders and contributes to a more focused resource allocation (Bart, 1998; Bart & Baetz, 1998; Hitt, Ireland, Hoskisson, Rowe, & Sheppard, 2002). While these core assumptions have become highly popular among academics and practitioners, the literature in marketing and strategic management has extensively addressed mission statements and other related topics over the years (Drucker, 1974; Hitt et al., 2002). Consequently, a large body of research has given rise to an intense debate reflecting various perspectives regarding defining issues, the role and key functions associated with the development of mission statements and its use in various organizational settings. Reviewing the literature in Table 1, we acknowledge the diversity of studies undertaken in the private for-profit, public and non-profit sectors covering diverse industries. Many definitions of mission statements are available. Yet, much of what has been written about mission statements, results in different views regarding their purpose and content. Recognizing the diversity of contributions surrounding the conceptualization of the mission statement, Bartkus et al. (2006) offer a three-perspective typology to measure the quality of a mission statement. Accordingly, the first perspective focuses on the stakeholders who are implicit in the mission statements, the second perspective relates to the studies that examine the content of mission statements and the last perspective focuses on the mission statement's purpose or objectives. Furthermore, the impact of mission statements on important managerial and strategic domains has been widely recognized in the literature. This recognition includes, but is not limited to, the influence that a mission statement has on corporate decisionmaking, innovation, as well as the impact of mission statements on performance. 2.2. The mission statement e performance link in the nonprofit context Before addressing the mission statementeperformance link, it is worth noting the idiosyncratic nature of the non-profit sector and how existing studies have (or have not) dealt with this issue. While there are many differences between non-profit and for-profit firms, the distinctive character attributed to the non-profit sector is mostly associated with the non-distribution constraint (Hansmann, 1987). This provision prevents a non-profit organization from distributing its surplus profits among its shareholders. In other words, non-profit organizations may accumulate profits, but contrary to what happens in for-profit firms, the profits must be reinvested into the basic mission of the organization, and not distributed as income to anyone with a beneficial interest in the organization such as staff, trustees and members (Anheier, 2005; Courtney, 2002). In this sense, non-profit organizations are often commonly considered to be mostly driven by a distinctive set of core values, norms and motivations which account for its predominantly societal orientation, closely linked to mission accomplishment (Liao, Foreman, & Sargeant, 2001; McDonald, 2007; Moore, 2000). This aspect differentiates non-profit organizations and private commercial firms, the latter existing primarily to generate profits. Consequently, ideas associated with the business world and the adoption of entrepreneurial practices are often viewed with suspicion in the social non-profit sector (Schlesinger, Mitchell, & Gray, 2004; Phills, 2005). According to this reasoning, key managerial issues such as those related with strategy implementation and management might be handled in a different way when comparing a non-profit organization with a for-profit business. This logic may well be applied to the development and implementation of mission statements.
