I am using organisational capacity building as a predictor of another variable in a study, but I do not have a clear information about what the dimensions of capacity building are. Can anyone help?
Organizational capacity is about the ability of the institution (that includes its staff) to perform their functions well in a given context. It has to do with rules and procedures that institution follow. Capacity of the staff is built through training them in both short period as well as long period.
Capacity within an organisation consists of three main dimensions: staff, assets (technology) and space. When starting capacity building the variable factors which need to be taken into consideration are demand and supply. almost all capacity building models can be effectively constructed by properly using data and variables concerned with supply and demand equilibrium...
An organisation is also a community and therefore these domains can be used- see:
Laverack, G. (2008) Health Promotion: How to Build Community Capacity. In Jirojwong, S. and Liamputtong, P. (eds) Population Health, Communities and Health Promotion. London. Oxford University Press. Chapter 11.
