摘要

目的 通过关注志愿者的预期情绪反应,并借鉴动机和认同理论,本研究探讨了志愿者对儿童之 友基金会(ACF)创业模式的不同选择的反应。本文就志愿者对潜在商业模式变化的情绪反应提出了一个假设模型。我们提出了内在动机因素、职业认同和对商业组织的态度作为中介变量的相对重要性。ACF 只与大学生志愿者合作,因此他们的特殊性可能会限制本定性研究的某些结论和主张,但支持类似创业转型的公共政策后果可能具有普遍意义。设计/方法/途径基于对匈牙利非营利组织 ACF 志愿者半结构式访谈的定性分析,我们探讨了转型为社会企业所面临的挑战。对于一个希望利用其志愿者能力的非营利组织来说,引入市场化服务可能意味着额外的财政资源和潜在的人力资源损失。了解志愿者反应的调节因素可能有助于建立更好的理论来管理非营利组织向社会企业的转型,并设计公共政策来支持扩大成功的社会目的组织的影响。通过更好地管理转型,非营利组织可以通过与原有活动密切相关的市场活动获得更多的财政资源,并留住志愿者,从而扩大其社会影响力。本研究阐明了挤出效应的相关性,并指出了影响其潜在程度的一些假设性调节变量。

Exploring volunteers' emotional reactions to a potential transition from a non-profit organisation towards a social enterprise

Purpose

By focussing on the anticipated emotional reactions of volunteers and drawing on theories of motivation and identity, this study investigates how volunteers react to different options of the entrepreneurial model of Amigos for Children Foundation (ACF). The paper proposes a hypothetical model for volunteer’s emotional reactions to potential business model changes. We suggest the relative importance of intrinsic motivational factors, professional identity and attitudes towards business organisations as mediating variables. ACF works exclusively with university students as volunteers, so their specific characteristics may limit some of the conclusions and propositions of this qualitative research, but public policy consequences of supporting similar entrepreneurial transitions can be generally relevant.

Design/methodology/approach

Based on the qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews with volunteers of ACF, a Hungarian non-profit organisation, we explore the challenges of transitioning into a social enterprise.

Findings

Previous research showed controversial results about the impact of pay on the motivations of volunteers. For a non-profit organisation that would like to utilise the competencies of its volunteers, introducing a market-based service may mean additional financial resources and the potential loss of human resources. Understanding the moderating factors of volunteers' reactions might help build better theories for managing the non-profit-social enterprise transition and designing public policies to support scaling up the impact of successful social purpose organisations.

Originality/value

For practitioners, the research underlines the importance of participatory mechanisms in volunteer management. By managing transitions better, non-profit organisations can expand their social impact by acquiring more financial resources through market-based activities closely related to their original activities and keeping their volunteers. The study elucidates the relevance of the crowding-out effect and indicates some hypothetical moderating variables influencing its potential degree.

期刊介绍: Institutions – especially public policies – are a significant determinant of economic outcomes; entrepreneurship and enterprise development are often the channel by which public policies affect economic outcomes, and by which outcomes feed back to the policy process. The Journal of Entrepreneurship & Public Policy (JEPP) was created to encourage and disseminate quality research about these vital relationships. The ultimate aim is to improve the quality of the political discourse about entrepreneurship and development policies. JEPP publishes two issues per year and welcomes: Empirically oriented academic papers and accepts a wide variety of empirical evidence. Generally, the journal considers any analysis based on real-world circumstances and conditions that can change behaviour, legislation, or outcomes, Conceptual or theoretical papers that indicate a direction for future research, or otherwise advance the field of study, A limited number of carefully and accurately executed replication studies, Book reviews. In general, JEPP seeks high-quality articles that say something interesting about the relationships among public policy and entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship and economic development, or all three areas. Scope/Coverage: Entrepreneurship, Public policy, Public policies and behaviour of economic agents, Interjurisdictional differentials and their effects, Law and entrepreneurship, New firms; startups, Microeconomic analyses of economic development, Development planning and policy, Innovation and invention: processes and incentives, Regional economic activity: growth, development, and changes, Regional development policy.
