Many sport for development and peace organizations operate with limited resources and in low-resource environments. While resource constraints impede some organizations, others demonstrate an adaptive behavior, known as bricolage, to repurpose and flexibly engage existing resources to accomplish their goals. In this study, we ask what distinguishes organizations that engage in bricolage from others. We specifically test whether sport for development and peace nonprofits that engage in bricolage are more likely to engage in social innovation, and we test those findings against organizational size, age, and characteristics of organizations’ operating environments. Using data from an international sample of 161 sport for development and peace nonprofits, we find that organizations employing greater levels of bricolage also demonstrate significantly higher levels of innovation, except for process-focused innovations, which are significantly associated with environmental turbulence. Organizational size itself does not appear to influence the use of bricolage or the relationship between bricolage and innovation.

许多体育促进发展与和平组织的运作资源有限且处于资源匮乏的环境中。虽然资源限制阻碍了一些组织，但另一些组织则表现出一种适应性行为，即所谓的“拼凑”，即重新调整用途并灵活地利用现有资源来实现其目标。在这项研究中，我们询问从事拼凑的组织与其他组织的区别是什么。我们专门测试了参与拼凑的体育促进发展与和平非营利组织是否更有可能参与社会创新，并根据组织规模、年龄和组织运营环境的特征来测试这些发现。利用 161 个体育促进发展与和平非营利组织的国际样本数据，我们发现，采用较高水平拼凑的组织也表现出明显较高的创新水平，但以流程为中心的创新除外，这些创新与环境动荡密切相关。组织规模本身似乎并不影响拼凑的使用或拼凑与创新之间的关系。
