AB  - Purpose – This paper aims to explore if employee engagement (EE) influences the relationship quality of
long-term partnerships between non-profit organisations (NPO) and for-profit organisations (FPO) and offer a
theoretical framework for NPO and FPO long-term partnerships’ success based on the literature.
Design/methodology/approach – The study resorts to qualitative research, and through 45 in-depth
structured interviews with NPO and FPO employees, this paper intends to investigate the theoretical
framework using a hypothetico-deductive method.
Findings – The findings support the authors’ theoretical framework, where EE influences
satisfaction, trust and commitment to the partnership. The results highlight that organisations
creating high levels of satisfaction, trust and commitment may have a higher propensity for long-term
partnerships.
Originality/value – This study offers a novel theoretical framework for developing long-term
partnerships between NPO and FPO. However, each variable’s extent of influence still needs to be further
explored, creating a fertile ground for future research in this area.
