“…According to Bennett (1998), the Logic of Membership encompasses: (1) The logic of service, defined by the amenities associations offer to respond to members' individual requests and enquiries (i.e., private incentives); and (2) the logic of influence defined by the actions associations undertake on behalf of most of their members' interests (i.e., public incentives). Private incentives comprise economic (e.g., increase members' revenues), occupational (e.g., access to professional contacts), and informational (e.g., data services) benefits and foster social relational bonding by increasing members' recognition within a network or enabling networking opportunities (Barbieri & Mattozzi, 2009;Hager, 2014).
