INFLUENCE OF INTENTIONAL GOVERNANCE MECHANISMS ON THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF ASSOCIATIONS IN MOROCCO EXPLORATORY STUDY

Moroccan youth is currently in a situation of failure their supervision remains a crucial challenge for all actors including associations. Moreover, the 2011 constitution has allowed the recognition of the latter as a strategic actor by granting new missions. These important advances have challenged associations to improve their performance by integrating governance in an optimal way. This study examines the influence of intentional governance mechanisms on the overall performance of Moroccan associations, particularly those working in the youth field. The literature review focused on two aspects: the intentional mechanisms of governance and its organizational determinants, and the overall performance of associations and its dimensions. The epistemological choice that was made in the context of this research work is positivism adapted to a hypothetico-deductive reasoning. An initial exploratory qualitative study with Moroccan associative actors allowed us to frame the different variables in relation to the two concepts studied in the Moroccan context and to make them consistent in a conceptual model.
