ABSTRACT Physical activity-based youth development programs (PA-based YDPs) utilize a range of individual and team sports and activities to simultaneously teach character development and physical skills. Such programs provide a suitable context for the development of youth-adult relationships (YARs). Twelve adult volunteers from PA-based YDPs were interviewed to investigate their motives and their perceptions of YARs in PA-based YDPs. Participants identified numerous facilitators of and some challenges to developing YARs. Facilitators of YAR development focused on the presence of two YAR characteristics, trust/mutual respect and partnership. They also linked their involvement in a YAR with satisfying their personal motives for volunteering.

ABSTRACT Nonprofit organizations highly depend on the public’s trust for legitimacy and support, to ultimately further their missions. Despite its high importance, little is known about the trust-building processes of the general public. In this study, we develop and test a multilevel study design to provide deeper insights into the public’s trust in nonprofit organizations and its relevant determinants. We used a comprehensive data set of 4,072 dyads, with survey data from 1,686 individuals and organizational data related to 102 German NPOs to investigate the different trust-building components: (1) individual public trust evaluation in NPO, (2) individual (trustor) context, and (3) organizational (trustee) context. The results of the analysis reveal unexpected differences in the importance of the different components for explaining the public’s trust in nonprofit organizations. Results show that the individual context is as relevant as the individual public trust evaluation, but the organizational context is far less important.

ABSTRACT Non-profit organizations (NPOs) are still struggling to recruit volunteers. While the impact of the organizational brand image on recruitment has been investigated in for-profit organizations, there is a dearth of similar studies in non-profit settings. Addressing this problem, this quantitative study examines the effect of NPOs’ brand image, including brand personality as the symbolic function and recognition reward as the instrumental function, on the intention to volunteer for college students. The results from 133 participants showed a significant difference in the intention to volunteer between participants exposed to NPOs with certain brand personalities and NPOs with no brand personalities at all. A significant difference was also found between participants offered recognition reward and those who were not. These results indicate the importance of brand image in increasing volunteering intention, which informs NPO practitioners to create better strategies to increase their success in recruiting volunteers.

The topic of volunteer recruitment, activation, commitment, and retention is an area of growing concern in the nonprofit sector. There is a consistent view in research literature (Cuskelly, Hoye, & Auld, 2006; Rochester, Paine, Howlett) that volunteering in developed communities is under pressure from a number of factors that intersect and impact on volunteers at different levels. These include broader socio-demographic patterns such as an aging population, increasing social inequalities, disruption of marriage and family ties, reduction in religious attachment, suburbanization, and, the fragmentation of traditional community life and interaction patterns due to residential mobility (Evers, 2016). Some authors (Lim & Laurence, 2015) have thus argued that due to these pressures and others there has been a decline in volunteering. Diverse theoretical lens can be applied to understand volunteering, including marketing to attract and retain volunteers through relationship marketing (Bussell & Forbes, 2006), volunteers experiencing transformation (Mulder, Rapp, Hamby, & Weaver, 2015), internal marketing strategies to increase volunteer retention (Bennett & Barkensjo, 2005), self-congruity theory to investigate the match to organization and volunteer (Randle, Dolnicar, & Bennett, 2011), quality of life and motivation to volunteer (Taghian, D’Souza, & Polonsky, 2012), and applying agency, stakeholder, and stewardship theory to enhance nonprofit governance and thereby various aspects of volunteering (Van Puyvelde, Caers, Du Bois, & Jegers, 2011). Corporate volunteering programs (Grant, 2012) offer several distinctive advantages to nonprofits, particularly economies of scale for recruiting and organizing volunteer efforts yet are relatively little researched, for example, using the lens of corporate social responsibility. The purpose of this special issue was to provide an opportunity for the dissemination of empirical work on volunteerism. Its further intent was to provide an opportunity for the critical examinations of various aspects of volunteerism and to progress its study and application. The papers included in this special issue also focus and extend our understanding of key issues around marketing and social media with volunteers. The first paper by Kappelides and Johnson examines the key volunteer management challenges faced by volunteer managers and coordinators in the USA, Australia, andCanada. The results were gathered over 4 years (2015–2018) and provide an in-depth analysis of the challenges faced by volunteer managers of which has not been collected previously.

ABSTRACT The focus of the paper is on better understanding volunteer retention. A broad-based survey of fourteen Australian nonprofit organizations develops an expanded quantitative model of volunteer retention by adding two new antecedents: values-congruency and altruistic motives to previous modeling. The study generates a more comprehensive set of rankings of volunteer retention motives, with altruism receiving top ranking. Using exploratory factor analysis, the study develops a new three-item perspective of altruism, combining helping, service and the cause. A new four-phase framework of the volunteer lifecycle is also developed. Investigating changes in retention motives over the life cycle reveals a major and unexpected finding, that the altruistic motive may actually become more important as volunteers move through the lifecycle.

ABSTRACT Two experiments are conducted to study marketing strategies (self-identity cues and public self-consciousness) that can be used to fuel volunteering intentions for socially stigmatized cause campaigns on social media. The finding of Study 1 demonstrates that group (vs individual) cues promoting group-wise commitment are more effective for increasing volunteering intentions, but this finding is reported only for those low in public self-consciousness. Furthermore, public self-consciousness itself negatively influences volunteering intentions. Comparing the type of group cue, Study 2 finds that ingroup (vs outgroup) cues signaling an ingroup identity of volunteers are more effective in increasing volunteering intentions, and such effect is more prominent for those high in public self-consciousness. In turn, the interaction effects of group cues and public self-consciousness on volunteering intentions are mediated by the perceived social value of volunteering. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

ABSTRACT Volunteers make a significant contribution to the infrastructure of western societies, and volunteer managers or coordinators are the important conduit that ensures volunteers are managed and supported. This article addresses the key challenges faced by volunteer managers and coordinators in the USA, Australia, and Canada. The results were conducted in 2015–2018. A total of 5,268 responses were gathered over the 4 years of the survey. This research study has provided evidence that volunteer managers have several challenges in their roles and require the support of their nonprofit organization to manage volunteers. Volunteer managers need to have resources, time and support from management to manage their volunteers and thereby contributing to the function of their organizations.

ABSTRACT Marketing techniques are well-accepted practices in today’s nonprofit organizations. Still, existing research on nonprofit marketing focuses on a small number of cases, and little is known about the sector-wide marketing practices. This study examines how a nonprofit’s marketing endeavors, measured by the percentage of expenses spent on marketing, vary across organizations, depending on such organizational contingencies as revenue mix, service type, and organizational activities. The analysis of the 2012 Statistics of Income Sample data shows that the proportion of marketing expense in total expenditure is positively associated with the proportions of commercial income and charitable contributions in total revenue and negatively with the proportion of government grants. The results also reveal that the proportion of marketing expense is more strongly associated with commercial revenue than with donation revenue, which implies that the current marketing practices have a stronger emphasis on increasing sales of goods and services. The findings also show significant differences across service types, as arts and environmental organizations spend more on marketing while health and human service organizations spend less than others.

ABSTRACT Although blood is essential in healthcare systems for medical and surgical use, it is still a scarce resource. Given that blood cannot be produced artificially, donors are the backbone of the system, which is why it is crucial for transfusion centers to understand the factors that determine their behavior. The goal of this study is to help decision-makers at transfusion understand what lines of research have been developed in the literature and which ones might be useful to define and assess actions related to the attributes of the donation system and donor behavior. To that end, this work aims to present an overview of the available literature on blood donor behavior from a social marketing perspective, which is of paramount importance in the context of blood donation. Based on the results of this review, which was performed by using the text mining methodology, this study presents current lines of investigation, and proposes additional future lines.

ABSTRACT To analyze and expand the prevailing behavioral model (awareness–knowledge–attitudes–behavior), this study explored strategies for promoting the eco-family card, a social marketing approach whereby users in Toyota City, Japan, earn eco-points through eco-activities and exchange them for goods. This initiative aims to advance the city’s eco-policy by incentivizing participation in eco-activities. The findings indicate that the dominant theoretical models positing that environmental awareness and knowledge lead to pro-environmental behaviors via attitudes are limited for explaining behavior change in this context. Furthermore, the results suggest that, given their pro-environmental attitudes that are yet to manifest as behaviors, women in their 30s are a promising sociodemographic target for promoting the eco-family card and that residents are somewhat satisfied with the goods that can be obtained with eco-points but desire more places to acquire and use eco-points.

Kawazoe","doi":"10.1080/10495142.2019.1708528","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/10495142.2019.1708528","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT To analyze and expand the prevailing behavioral model (awareness–knowledge–attitudes–behavior), this study explored strategies for promoting the eco-family card, a social marketing approach whereby users in Toyota City, Japan, earn eco-points through eco-activities and exchange them for goods. This initiative aims to advance the city’s eco-policy by incentivizing participation in eco-activities. The findings indicate that the dominant theoretical models positing that environmental awareness and knowledge lead to pro-environmental behaviors via attitudes are limited for explaining behavior change in this context. Furthermore, the results suggest that, given their pro-environmental attitudes that are yet to manifest as behaviors, women in their 30s are a promising sociodemographic target for promoting the eco-family card and that residents are somewhat satisfied with the goods that can be obtained with eco-points but desire more places to acquire and use eco-points. Recommendations are provided for the city government’s effective promotion of the eco-family card.","PeriodicalId":46735,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nonprofit & Public Sector Marketing","volume":"33 1","pages":"403 - 433"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2019-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10495142.2019.1708528","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49662187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
