TY - JOUR TI - AN EMPIRICAL STUDY FOR THE FINANCIAL SITUATION OF YOUTH CSOs IN TRB1 REGION OF TURKEY AB - This study evaluates factors which influence financial capacity of CivilSociety Organizations (CSOs) operating in TRB1 Region (Malatya, Elazığ,Bingöl and Tunceli) of Turkey. Because, although the need for CSO activityis higher in less developed regions, the presence of CSOs is more limitedin these regions compared to more developed regions. On the other hand,CSOs with higher financial capacity can provide more qualified, effectiveand sustainable public goods and services in the areas and regions wherepublic institutions and private sector organizations fail. In this sense, existingassumptions about the factors influencing financial capacity of CSOs arenoted after reviewing theoretical and empirical studies in the literature. Inorder to test these assumptions by the sample of CSOs in TRB1 Region ofTurkey, primary and secondary sources of data were used. Primary datawas collected from a semi-structured and detailed survey research that wasapplied to organizational leaders (e.g., manager, director and youth representative) of 66 Youth CSOs that operate in the areas of youth, educationand sport in TRB1 Region. In addition, secondary data was collected fromthe database of Directorate General of Relations with Civil Society underT.R. Ministry of Interior. Collected data was evaluated by descriptive statistical method to analyze relationships between dependent and independent variables. The research findings show that factors such as cooperation withexternal stakeholders, managerial competence and revenue sources havesignificant influence on the financial capacity of CSOs.
