Abstract: This research examines collaboration formality as a function of institutional characteristics of organizations as well as personal characteristics of their leaders, in a non-Western context. Using a dataset of local governments and non-profits in Lebanon, we find organizations characterized by resource insufficiency and large staff size, and whose leaders have experience in the other sector to be motivated to use formal arrangements in cross-sectoral collaboration; those with female leaders opt for informal arrangements. A variety of characteristics of both institutions and their leaders affect formality of collaboration arrangements used by local governments and non-profits; yet, these effects exhibit cross-sector heterogeneity.
