Strategies toward Internet disclosures in public benefit organisations

The paper explores Internet disclosures of Polish public benefit organisations (PBOs) applying a comprehensive methodology of assessment of information provided by PBOs on their website and in social media. The study was conducted between October 2015 and February 2017 and included a sample of 250 randomly selected PBOs. Beside determining a share of Polish PBOs which are sustainably active on the web, a combined analytical approach using a scoring system and a cluster analysis enabled to define three strategies related to Internet disclosures, including: ‘a contact page’, ‘a promotion website’ and ‘a stakeholder relationship portal’. Differences between the said approaches, together which factors influencing disclosure intensity and quality, including an Internet platform, financial status of an organisation and their activity domains, were identified, as well.
