For this cross-sectional study, participants who were atypical to the presented NPO were recruited online (n = 98). The research materials included information about international NPOs and a questionnaire that measured organizational morality, organizational competence, empathy, and collectivism of the individual, as well as general willingness to help and willingness to donate money to the organization. Multiple regression analyses showed that general willingness to help is predicted by organizational morality and the individual’s empathy. It has also been shown that empathy and general willingness to help have a direct effect on willingness to donate money to an NPO. Mediation regression analysis supported the hypotheses that empathy and organizational morality indirectly influence willingness to donate via willingness to help. Finally, practical recommendations for NPOs, as well as strengths, limitations, and implications of this online study were discussed.Show less

In this cross-sectional study, participants (n = 98) from Academic Prolific were shown a non-profit organization to which they were atypical due to their social identity. They were then asked questions that ascertained how competent and transparent they believed the organization is, how altruistic they were and how much they identified with all humanity. They were also asked questions to measure how willing they were to help the organization overall and how willing they were to specifically donate money to the organization. Direct effects were tested for with multiple regression analyses. These showed that organizational competence is not significantly related to willingness to help, while organizational transparency is. The analyses also showed that altruism is not significantly related to willingness to help while identification with all humanity is. Mediation and moderation analyses were also performed. The results imply that a non-profit organization would be better able to reach their donation goals if they focused more on their perceived transparency rather than competence. Advertising to people who greatly identify with all humanity could also be beneficial. Strengths and limitations are discussed and suggestions for new research are proposed.Show less

The study had a cross-sectional survey design and employees with chronic mental and/or physical health issues were recruited for research participation (N = 137). A first multiple regression analysis showed that among health-impaired employees work stress and general distress relate directly and positively to work functioning problems, and that health- related occupational self-efficacy and general occupational self-efficacy do not significantly relate directly and negatively to work functioning problems. Furthermore, a series of multiple regression analyses showed that for health-impaired employees a) organizational inclusiveness relates directly and negatively to health-related stigmatization when controlling for age and gender, and that b) health-related stigmatization is a direct and positive predictor of work stress and general distress, and only a direct and negative predictor of health-related occupational self-efficacy. Hereafter, mediation regression analyses only showed that health- related stigmatization relates indirectly to work functioning problems via work stress as a mediator, and that organizational inclusiveness relates indirectly to work stress and general distress via such health-related stigmatization as a mediator. Finally, the moderation regression analyses showed no influence of preparedness-coping and educating-coping on the association between health-related stigmatization and outcomes. The theoretical and practical implications, and the strengths and limitations and suggestions for future research, of the current study are discussed.Show less

De rol van competentie van de organisatie en de communicatie van de sociale identiteitswaarde, persoonlijkheid en ervaren aantrekkelijkheid van de organisatie wordt onderzocht. Dit onderzoek had een tussen proefpersonen factorieel design (competentie van de organisatie groep, communicatie van de sociale identiteit waarde groep versus controlegroep). De deelnemers van dit onderzoek waren jonge mannen die atypisch zijn voor de organisatie (N = 68). Er zijn ANOVA’s gedaan en het bleek dat de manipulatie van competentie van de organisatie niet geslaagd was terwijl de manipulatie van sociale identiteitswaarde wel succesvol was. ANOVA liet zien dat er geen direct effect was van de communicatie van de waarde van sociale identiteit op de aantrekkelijkheid van de organisatie. Multipele regressieanalyse liet een direct effect van de competentie van de organisatie op de aantrekkelijkheid van de organisatie zien, en geen direct effect van empathie op donatiebereidheid, en geen direct effect van morele identiteit op donatiebereidheid. Multipele regressieanalyse toonde een direct effect van de aantrekkelijkheid van de organisatie op donatiebereidheid. Mediatie regressieanalyse toonde aan dat communicatie van de sociale identiteitswaarde geen indirecte relatie heeft met de bereidheid om geld te doneren via de aantrekkelijkheid van de organisatie en dat de competentie van de organisatie wel een indirecte relatie heeft met de bereidheid om geld te doneren via de aantrekkelijkheid van de organisatie. Moderatie regressieanalyse toonde aan dat zowel empathie als morele identiteit de relatie tussen competentie van de organisatie en aantrekkelijkheid van de organisatie niet versterkt. Theoretische en praktische implicaties worden besproken, ook beperkingen en suggesties voor verder onderzoek worden besproken.Show less

This study had a cross-sectional design with 98 participants (N= 98) who were atypical to the organizations that were presented to them. The first multiple regression analysis showed that organizational morality and organizational sociability, while controlling age and gender, relate directly and positively to willingness to help the non-profit organization. The second multiple regression analysis showed that individual empathic concern, but not individual empathic perspective taking and individual altruism, relate directly and positively to willingness to help the organization while controlling the age and gender. The third multiple regression analysis showed that individual empathy (empathic concern and empathic perspective taking), but not individual altruism, while controlling age and gender, relate directly and positively to willingness to donate money. The mediation analyses showed that organizational morality, organizational sociability and individual empathic concern relate indirectly and positively to willingness to donate money to non-profit organizations via willingness to help as mediator. The moderation analyses showed that individual empathic concern and individual empathic perspective taking do not significantly strengthen the association between sociability and predicting willingness to help the organization. The third moderation analysis showed that individual altruism does not significantly strengthen the association between organizational morality and willingness to help. These findings suggest that organizational morality, organizational sociability, individual empathy, but not individual altruism, have an effect on willingness to donate money to nonprofit organizations among people who are atypical to the organization. Theoretical and practical implications; strengths and limitations; and suggestions for new research are discussed.Show less

With this, we also examine the mediating role of anticipated respect and the moderating role of perceived need for donations. This research has a 4 cell (perceived organizational morality, perceived organizational competence, perceived organizational sociability versus control) between-subjects factorial design and used a total of 159 members of the general public (50,3% female, 1,3% non-binary; Mage = 34,4 years) from English speaking countries (the US, the UK, Ireland and Canada) as research participants. A first series of ANOVAs showed our manipulations to be effective in instilling perceptions of organizational morality, competence and sociability. A second series of ANOVAs indicated that only the morality of the nonprofit organization raised the perception of organizational prestige in our participants. A multiple regression analysis showed that perceived organizational prestige, while controlling for age and gender, related directly and positively to anticipated respect received when donating to a nonprofit organization. Mediation analysis showed a significant indirect effect of perceived organizational prestige on willingness to donate via anticipated respect as a mediator. A second and third mediation analysis showed a significant indirect effect of perceived organizational morality on willingness to donate, via organizational prestige as well as via anticipated respect as mediators. Moderation analysis showed no support for the notion that perceived need for financial donations strengthens the effect of organizational prestige on donation willingness. Theoretical implications, practical implications and limitations are discussed.Show less

Het doel van het onderzoek was om te bekijken welke factoren de bereidheid om geld te doneren beïnvloeden. Het onderzoek had een cross-sectioneel onderzoeksdesign. Deelnemers waren leden van het algemeen publiek uit de Verenigde Staten van Amerika die werden geworven voor deelname aan het onderzoek via Academic Prolific (N = 100). Een multiple regressieanalyse toonde aan dat persoonlijke relevantie van de organisatie en persoon-organisatie fit allebei een significante, directe en positieve relatie hebben met affiniteit met de non-profitorganisatie. Een volgende regressieanalyse toonde aan dat affiniteit met de organisatie tevens een significante, directe en positieve relatie heeft met bereidheid om te doneren. Een mediatieregressieanalyse toonde aan dat persoon-organisatie fit en persoonlijke relevantie van de organisatie beiden een indirecte en positieve relatie hebben met bereidheid om te doneren, waarbij affiniteit met de non-profitorganisatie de mediator is. Een moderatieregressieanalyse toonde aan dat affiniteit met de organisatie en vertrouwen in de organisatie niet significant interacteren in het voorspellen van donatiebereidheid in de vorm van geld. Theoretische en praktische implicaties en beperkingen en suggesties voor verder onderzoek worden besproken in de discussiesectie.Show less

Dit onderzoek richt zich op het verband tussen affiniteit met de non-profit organisatie en donatiebereidheid, en empathie met de mensen die geholpen worden door de non-profit organisatie en donatiebereidheid, bij leden van het algemeen publiek. Ook worden de voorspellers van affiniteit met de non-profitorganisatie en empathie met de met de mensen die geholpen worden door de NPO belicht. Middels dit onderzoek wordt duidelijk hoe gelddonatiebereidheid kan worden vergroot. Het onderzoek is uitgevoerd met een cross-sectioneel design in de vorm van een vragenlijst, die is afgenomen bij leden van het algemeen publiek (n=100). Uit de eerste multipele regressieanalyse blijkt dat de voorspeller affiniteit met de non-profit organisatie direct en positief relateert aan gelddonatiebereidheid, empathie niet. Uit de tweede multipele regressieanalyse blijkt dat de voorspeller sociale identiteit direct en positief relateert aan affiniteit met de organisatie. Uit deze multipele regressieanalyse blijkt ook persoonlijke relevantie van de organisatie marginaal direct en positief relateert aan affiniteit met de organisatie. Uit de derde multipele regressieanalyse blijkt dat altruïsme direct en positief relateert aan empathie, morele identiteit niet. Uit de vier mediatieanalyses is gebleken dat er indirecte en positieve relaties zijn tussen persoonlijke relevantie van de organisatie, sociale identiteit match met gelddonatiebereidheid via affiniteit met de organisatie. Er zijn geen indirecte en positieve relaties zijn tussen morele identiteit en altruïsme op gelddonatiebereidheid via empathie. Theoretische en praktische implicaties, beperkingen en suggesties voor verder onderzoek worden besproken.Show less

The present study investigates the role of affinity with, and likeability of, the nonprofit organization, altruism and empathy in the willingness to donate time and effort to the nonprofit organization, referred to as different types of volunteerism. In a cross-sectional survey study, a sample of 143 members of the general public completed the self-report questionnaire of the research via the online crowdsourcing service Prolific (N = 143). Results of multiple regression analysis indicated that affinity with the nonprofit organization, when controlled for altruism, predicted likeability of the nonprofit organization and willingness to volunteer for the nonprofit organization. Furthermore, altruism, when controlled for affinity with the nonprofit organization, predicted empathy. Mediation analysis revealed that likeability of the nonprofit organization mediated the relationship between affinity with the nonprofit organization and willingness to volunteer for the nonprofit organization. Unexpectedly, empathy did not significantly mediate the relationship between altruism and willingness to volunteer for the nonprofit organization. Finally, moderation analysis showed that altruism did not significantly strengthen the relationship between affinity with the nonprofit organization and likeability of the nonprofit organization. The findings provide support for the hypothesized relationship between affinity with the nonprofit organization, likeability with the nonprofit organization, and willingness to volunteer for the nonprofit organizations. Theoretical and practical contributions, limitations, and suggestions for new research are discussed.Show less

Het onderzoek is uitgevoerd met behulp van een cross-sectionele vragenlijst op het Amazon Mechanical Turk Online Platform. De vragenlijst is ingevuld door 105 (N =105) participanten die werkzaam zijn als vrijwilliger bij non-profit organisaties in de Verenigde Staten van Amerika. Een multipele regressieanalyse toonde dat er sprake is van een significant positief effect van zowel identificatie met de organisatie, als collectief psychologisch eigenaarschap van de organisatie, op de bereidheid om geld te doneren aan een non-profit organisatie. Uit multipele regressieanalyses bleek ook dat de warmte van de organisatie direct en positief bijdraagt aan identificatie met de organisatie en dat het gevoel van bij de organisatie te horen direct en positief effect heeft op gevoelens van collectief psychologisch eigenaarschap van de organisatie. Aanvullend toonde een eerste mediatieregressieanalyse dat er sprake is van een indirect en positief effect van de warmte van een organisatie op de bereidheid om geld te doneren, gemedieerd door de identificatie met de organisatie. De tweede mediatie regressieanalyse heeft laten zien dat er sprake is van een indirect en positief effect van het gevoel van het bij de organisatie horen op de bereidheid om geld te doneren, gemedieerd door collectief psychologisch eigenaarschap van de organisatie. De multipele regressieanalyses en de mediatie regressieanalyses lieten geen significante effecten zien wanneer de bereidheid om tijd te doneren, in de vorm van tijd (vrijwilligerswerk doen) als uitkomstvariabele werd gebruikt. De theoretische en praktische implicaties, beperkingen van het onderzoek en suggesties voor vervolgonderzoek worden in dit onderzoek uitgebreid beschreven.Show less

A between participants experimental design with three conditions, namely a marketing campaign instilling intimate knowledge of the organization, a marketing campaign instilling investment of the self in the organization, and a marketing campaign without any manipulations (control condition), was used. Participants were recruited via the online data platform Academic Prolific (n = 78). Analyses of variance (ANOVA) showed that the manipulations of the research were successful. Thereafter, a hierarchical regression analysis showed a positive and significant direct relation of psychological ownership of the organization with willingness to donate. Then, a one-way ANOVA demonstrated that participants allocated to the ‘intimate knowledge’ - condition reported significantly more psychological ownership of the organization than participants allocated to the control condition. Another one-way ANOVA suggested that participants allocated to the ‘investment of the self in the organization’ - condition reported more psychological ownership of the non-profit organization than participants allocated to the control condition, however, this effect was not found to be significant. Subsequently, a mediation regression analysis showed that having intimate knowledge of the organization relates indirectly and significantly to the willingness to donate to the organization among people targeted by a marketing campaign, through psychological ownership of the organization as a mediator. Theoretical and practical implications, limitations, and suggestions for further research, will be discussed.Show less

Accordingly, this study examined among financial donors of charitable organizations a) whether violation of the psychological contract undermines the willingness to donate money to the charitable organization, and b) the psychological processes that may make financial donors perceive a violation of the psychological contract. The research participants were members of the Amazon Mechanical Turk online platform who adopted the role of financial donor (n = 91). The research had a consecutive 1X2 experimental design. Specifically, the participants were first randomly allocated across the experimental condition about investment of the organization in helping its clientele and sustaining the relationship with donors (high/low). Thereafter, those participants who had been assigned to the ‘low investment condition’ were randomly allocated across an experimental condition about justification for the low investment (yes/no). As predicted, ANOVAs showed that financial donors who were presented information about low investment of the organization in helping its clientele and sustaining the relationship with donors reported the least perceived organizational reciprocity, integrity, and transparency. A second ANOVA indicated that for the participants allocated to the ‘low direct investment’-condition, the justification for the low investment did not influence perceived organizational reciprocity, integrity or transparency. Further, moderation regression analysis showed that the trust of financial donors in the charity does not weaken the negative effects of low investment on perceived organizational reciprocity, integrity or transparency. Finally, regression analyses showed that among financial donors, perceived non-reciprocity and non-integrity of the organization instill perceived psychological contract violation as a predictor of willingness to donate, negative word-of-mouth, and perceived organizational prestige. Theoretical and practical implications, limitations, and suggestions for new research are discussed.Show less
