Why Do Donors Donate? Examining the Effects of Organizational Identification and Identity Salience on the Relationships among Satisfaction, Loyalty, and Donation Behavior

Abstract: With an empirical study in two nonprofit industries (a money-collecting and blood-collecting organization), the authors investigate how organizational identification and identity salience together function in relation to satisfaction, loyalty, and behavior. They develop and test a model that best represents relationships featuring donor-nonprofit identification and donor identity salience in existing satisfaction-loyalty studies.

Within the money donation context, both identification constructs have stronger total effects on donor loyalty than donor satisfaction, whereas in the blood donation context, donor satisfaction has a stronger effect on loyalty. In testing the causal direction between donor-nonprofit identification and donor satisfaction, the authors also find that the path should be co...

Relationships of Organizational Justice and Organizational Identification: The Mediating Effects of Perceived Organizational Support in Hong Kong

Abstract: In this study a model was developed to examine through the mediator of perceived organizational support (POS) how distributive, interpersonal and informational justice affects the extent to which employees identify with an organization. This model was tested on 159 employees of several service organizations. Results indicated that the positive effects of interpersonal justice and informational justice on organizational identification were fully mediated by POS. Unexpectedly, distributive justice was unrelated to POS, but directly linked to organizational identification. Results were discussed in terms of their implications for research on organizational justice, POS and organizational identification.

Exploring predictors of organizational identification: Moderating role of trust on the associations between empowerment, organizational support, and identification

Abstract: The purpose of this study is to explore the associations among psychological empowerment, perceived organizational support (POS), trust in supervisor, and organizational identification.

Moderation analysis shows that cognition-based trust in supervisor moderates the relationships between perceived competence, perceived control, and organizational identification, whereas affect-based trust in supervisor moderates the relationships between goal i...
