Abstract Details

2010, Doctor of Management, Case Western Reserve University, Weatherhead School of Management.
Through three distinctive studies we examine the key factors that influence corporate employees to volunteer in their communities. Our research asks: (1) do employees feel constrained from recruiting beyond their strong-tie personal relationships and into weak-tie employee relationships at the workplace, (2) what are the key factors motivating corporate employees to volunteer in their communities, and (3) what effect does social identity within a group and charismatic recruiting have on an individual’s motives for volunteering. We respond to these questions by applying well-known theories from the fields of sociology and psychology to the practice of corporate volunteerism. Each of the three studies used a distinct inquiry mode: (1) a semi-structured interview process to situate the problem of practice, establish a conceptual model, and formulate the research question which served as the foundation for the qualitative and quantitative studies that followed, (2) a qualitative examination of a conceptual model, and (3) a quantitative study applying survey instruments and structural equation modeling methods. The purpose, methods and conclusions of each of the three studies are presented with a perspective on the collective implications of the research for practitioners.
