ANALYSIS OF THE OPERATION OF THE NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION

Delovanje nepridobitnih organizacij je v javnem interesu, kar pomeni, da delujejo splošno koristno za družbo. Kljub temu, da je njihov obstoj pomemben za širšo javnost pa so izpostavljene problematiki prekarnega zaposlovanja in nestabilnega financiranja. Cilj diplomskega dela je predstaviti pojem nepridobitne organizacije, predstaviti delovanje izbrane nepridobitne organizacije Zveza prijateljev mladine Ljubljana Moste-Polje z vidika tradicije, področij delovanja, zaposlovanja in financiranja. Uporabljena je bila deskriptivna metoda na podlagi analize virov in podatkov ter statistična analiza zbranih podatkov. Izbrano organizacijo smo primerjali s tujima sorodnima organizacijama in zapisali ugotovitve ter predloge za izboljšave v naši izbrani organizaciji. Raziskava je pokazala, da v izbrani nepridobitni organizaciji za svoje delovanje pridobijo večino sredstev s strani donacij pravnih in fizičnih oseb in ne s strani državnih organov ter so prav zaradi slednjega izpostavljeni nestabilnemu financiranju. Problematika financiranja pa se odraža tudi pri številu zaposlenih, ki so izpostavljeni prekarnemu zaposlovanju in jih nadomeščajo prostovoljci, saj je število zaposlenih odvisno od sredstev. Raziskava nam pokaže pomembnost obstoja in delovanja nepridobitnih organizacij za celotno družbo. S primerjavo izbrane organizacije s tujima sorodnima organizacijama smo prikazali delovanje tovrstnih organizacij v tujini. Iz podanih ugotovitev in predlogov lahko svoje delovanje prilagodijo oz. izboljšajo tudi preostale nepridobitne organizacije.The main role of non-profit organizations is working in the public interest, which means that they are beneficiral to society.
