Linkages To Bookkeeping Training, Business Scale, Financial Records With The Members Participation Of The Indonesian Women's Cooperative

“…Meanwhile, financial participation can be seen from the activity of members in paying principal savings, compulsory savings, voluntary savings, or other savings that can increase the capital owned by the cooperative. The results of this study support the research that has been done of (Georgellis, Y;Joyce, P;Woods, 2000), (Constantinescu, 2015), and (Figueiredo & Franco, 2018) which stated that there is a real relationship between formal and non-formal education members with the success of cooperatives and learning processes have a positive effect on member's ability and member participation. The participation of members in using services on savings and loan units was almost 100% of the total number of members.…”

“…The course experience shows that fundamental values like ethics and solidarity are determinant to the success of technical cooperation processes (Castro, Vilar, & Medeiros, 2015). These findings support the results of (Georgellis, Y;Joyce, P;Woods, 2000), (Nurlela Kataren, 2006), (Constantinescu, 2015), (Figueiredo & Franco, 2018) which stated that there is a real relationship between formal and non-formal education members with the success of cooperatives and learning processes have a positive effect on member's ability and member participation. While the results of (Regts, 2009) stated that the knowledge of members directly affects the loyalty of members, it meant that their knowledge about the cooperative influenced the commitment of members.…”

Limiting Factors that Influence the Formation of Producer Groups in the South-East Region of Romania: A Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA)

“…According to Ruben and Heras [19], the good functioning of a collective farm is dependent on mutual trust and on the engagement relationship between members in order to achieve the common goals, see Figure 1. Moreover, the relations between members, once created, must be carefully managed with the aim of maintaining and strengthening loyalty by aligning the interests of the members as individual entities with those of the cooperative [20].…”

Essays on co-operatives’ idiosyncrasies : structure, performance, and membership

“…SMA comprises measures relating to the judgmental assessment of co-op members regarding the benefits they receive from membership and their co-op's performance in general (Alho, 2015;Liebrand and Ling, 2014). These measures habitually cover members' general stance towards the co-op (e.g., overall satisfaction, intention to continue membership) (Figueiredo and Franco, 2018;Hernández-Espallardo et al, 2013), members' evaluation of financial aspects (e.g., satisfaction with price or market arrangements) (Bhuyan, 2007;Susanty et al, 2017), and members' evaluation of non-monetary membership aspects (e.g., members' influence on internal decision-making, satisfaction with information flow) (Feng et al, 2016;Liebrand and Ling, 2014). In the vast majority of the few empirical co-op studies that rely on SMA measures (e.g., Figueiredo and Franco, 2018;Hernández-Espallardo et al, 2013;Van Rijsbergen et al, 2016), multi-item scales are favored.…”
