(2008): Volunteer recruitment: The role of organizational support and anticipated respect in non-volunteers' attraction to charitable volunteer organizations. In: Journal of Applied Psychology 93 (5), S. 1013-1026. DOI: 10.1037/0021-9010.93.5.1013
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18808222 Abstract: In 3 experiments the authors examined how specific characteristics of charitable volunteer organizations contribute to the recruitment of new volunteers. In line with predictions, Study 1 revealed that providing non-volunteers with information about organizational support induced anticipated feelings of respect, which subsequently enhanced their attraction to the volunteer organization. However, information about the current success of the volunteer organization did not affect anticipated pride (as among those who seek paid employment) and in fact caused potential volunteers to perceive the organization as being in less need for additional volunteers. Study 2 further showed that information about support from the volunteer organization is a more relevant source of anticipated respect and organizational attraction than support from co-volunteers. Study 3 finally showed that information about task and emotional support for volunteers contributes to anticipated respect and organizational attractiveness and that this increases the actual willingness of non-volunteers to participate in the volunteer organization. Interventions aimed at attracting volunteers and avenues for further research are discussed.

(2007): Volunteering for charity: Pride, respect, and the commitment of volunteers. In: Journal of Applied Psychology 92 (3), S. 771-785. DOI: 10.1037/0021-9010.92.3.771
DOI: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17484556 Abstract: This study builds upon and extends the social-identity-based model of cooperation with the organization (T. R. Tyler, 1999; T. R. Tyler & S. L. Blader, 2000) to examine commitment and cooperative intent among fundraising volunteers. In Study 1, structural equation modeling indicated that pride and respect related to the intent to remain a volunteer with an organization, and that this relation was mediated primarily by normative organizational commitment. In Study 2, structural equation modeling indicated that the perceived importance of volunteer work was related to pride, that perceived organizational support related to the experience of respect, and that pride and respect mediated the relation between perceived importance and support on the one hand and organizational commitment on the other. Overall, the results suggest that volunteer organizations may do well to implement pride and respect in their volunteer policy, for instance to address the reliability problem (J. L. Pearce, 1993).

(2003): Signaling goodness. Social rules and public choice. Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press (Economics, cognition, and society). Online verfügbar unter http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.3998/mpub.17724
DOI: http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.3998/mpub.17724 Abstract: Charity and evolution -- Charity and reciprocity -- Political charity -- Political positions and imitative behavior -- Goodness -- Activism -- A study of political positions -- The growth of government -- Environmental policy Political, intellectual, and academic discourse in the United States has been awash in political correctness, which has itself been berated and defended -- yet little understood. As a corrective, Nelson and Greene look at a more general process: adopting political positions to enhance one's reputation for trustworthiness both to others and to oneself. Phillip Nelson and Kenneth Greene are Professors of Economics in the Department of Economics at the State University of New York, Binghamton
