NGO Manager Survey on Sustainability and Performance in Bangladesh

Data from a 2026 study of 113 Bangladeshi Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) firms examines managers' perceptions of sustainability capital. The dataset contains Likert-scale survey responses measuring intellectual, social, and environmental capital as drivers of sustainability capital and its subsequent impact on organizational performance. Analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling, informed by political economy, institutional, and incomplete contracts theories.

Use Cases

• Modeling the relationship between social capital dimensions and organizational performance based on survey constructs.
• Analyzing the perceived influence of environmental capital on sustainability outcomes within NGOs.
• Testing structural equation models for intellectual capital's role in driving sustainability consciousness.
• Benchmarking NGO manager awareness across different sustainability capital dimensions.

Strengths

• Dataset is derived from a structured survey of 113 respondent NGO firms, providing a specific sample size.
• Survey design employs a validated 5-point Likert-scale questionnaire targeting specific theoretical constructs.
• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, facilitating reuse and analysis.

Limitations

• Column names and the raw data structure are not provided, limiting understanding of specific variables.
• The dataset appears to contain only analyzed results or perception data, not the underlying raw survey responses.
• Metadata on organization, file format, and exact row count is missing from all provided sources.
