“…However, it could be argued that supportive parenting will not necessarily foster volunteering in a cultural context where volunteering is less altruistic and more self-expressive, which might be the case in Finland. Civic engagement in social democratic and conservative welfare states, such as Finland and Germany, serves more to express personal values and to champion individual and group interests, whereas in liberal welfare states such as the US, volunteering involves more helping activities and is therefore more prosocial by nature (Salamon & Anheier 1998). To counter this argument, we should note that our measure of volunteering did seem to reflect a prosocial orientation as indicated by its positive correlations with socially desirable personality traits and church belonging.…”

“…Furthermore, Finland has well-developed public services (i.e., the state uses its high tax revenues to provide for the needy). Consequently, civic engagement in such countries is much less service-oriented (i.e., it involves fewer helping activities) than it is in liberal North American countries (Salamon & Anheier 1998). Finnish voluntary organizations provide only about 17% of social services and 5% of health services, whereas the public sector covers 67% and 83% of those, respectively (European Commission 2012).…”

“…Of the interviews, 21 were conducted in the Netherlands, and 18 were conducted in Flanders (the Dutch-speaking region of Belgium). The two geographical areas share the same language (Dutch) and have similar nonprofit regimes (i.e., corporatist; see Salamon & Anheier, 1998). Corporate involvement in the community has traditionally been low in both countries, given the high level of government social-welfare spending and the relatively large scale of the nonprofit sector.…”

This article argues that the nonprofit case for corporate volunteering is complex, requiring a multi-level perspective on the outcomes for nonprofit organizations (NPOs). To develop this perspective, we adopted an inductive research approach, conducting 39 exploratory semistructured interviews with NPO staff. We argue that NPO scholars and practitioners should disentangle individual and organizational-level outcomes resulting from interactions between corporate volunteers and NPO staff, as such micro-dynamics ultimately affect NPO services.Moreover, these outcomes are subject to conditions at the organizational level (e.g., involvement of intermediaries), as well as at the individual level (e.g., type of assignment).Our study highlights the complexity that should be considered when addressing the fundamental question of whether corporate volunteering contributes to the ability of NPOs to provide their services, and under what conditions. We therefore propose that corporate volunteer management within NPOs is inherently, albeit contingently, intertwined with the services that these organizations provide.Keywords: corporate volunteering, nonprofit case, qualitative, multi-level. Corporate volunteering and NPOs Corporate volunteering and NPOs 3Despite the fundamental challenges that corporate volunteering poses to the functioning of NPOs, previous studies have tended to focus on the business case for such activities (Allen, 2003). In other words, they address the outcomes of corporate volunteering for corporations and their employees (Rodell et al., 2015). In recent years, however, some scholars have begun to develop the nonprofit case for corporate volunteering (Allen, 2003;Samuel, Wolf & Schilling, 2013;Schiller & Almog-Bar, 2013) by exploring the reasons that NPOs have for being involved in corporate volunteering and the outcomes that they realize from such relationships. Existing research proceeds from the general assumption that corporate volunteering should contribute to realizing the NPO's mission and that the benefits should outweigh the costs (Allen, 2003;Harris, 2012). Such "bottom-line tests" (Allen, 2003, p.58) have proven highly complex, however, much more so than the usual general outcome assessments. The nonprofit case for corporate volunteering thus warrants further scrutiny.In this study, we demonstrate that understanding the nonprofit case for corporate volunteering requires systematically disentangling outcomes at multiple levels (see also Rodell et al., 2015), paying additional attention to relationships between individual-level and organizational-level outcomes, and identifying particular characteristics that act as antecedents for these outcomes (see also the framework for the business case developed by Rodell et al., 2015, p. 9). A multi-level perspective on the antecedents to and outcomes of corporate volunteering could help NPOs to develop strategies for engaging corporate volunteers in ways that would maximize their own benefits (see Allen, 2003;Samuel et al., 2013). While many ex...

“…The capacities of and relationship between the local government and the NGO sector are expected to strongly influence the CBO-stewarded spaces in which the poor participate. According to the social origins theory for describing a country's nonprofit sector (Salamon & Anheier, 1998), based on historical moorings and the nature of state-civil society interaction, Indonesia's NGO sector best resembles what might be called a statist model, in which limited government welfare protection does not imply high levels of nonprofit action (Anheier, 2005, p. 137). …”
