Kang paper on volunteer engagement accepted for publication
Assistant Minjeong Kang’s paper, “Moderating Effects of Identification on Volunteer Engagement: An Exploratory Study of a Faith-Based Charity Organization,” has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Communication Management.
The study examines the influences of important factors in creating volunteers’ engagement with nonprofit organizations using a case study of a faith-based nonprofit organization in the U.S.
Through an online survey of 590 volunteers at the nonprofit, Kang looked at effects of volunteers’ organizational identification and satisfaction in three dimensions of volunteer engagement. She found that identification and satisfaction were significantly associated with stronger engagement. Additionally, this study found the strong moderating role of organization identification in the relationship between satisfaction and affective commitment.
