“…Moreover, among men, working more hours is even positively correlated with participation in volunteering. This is also in line with Taniguchi (2006), who studies the effect gender differences and employment on volunteering using the National Survey of Midlife Development in the United States (MIDUS) 1995-1996. His results suggest that unemployment has a negative effect on men's volunteering, which is not the case for women.…”

AbstractIn this paper, we address the impact of surging unemployment on online public good provision.Specifically, we ask how drastically increased unemployment affects voluntary contributions of content to the online encyclopedia Wikipedia. We put together a monthly country-level data set, which combines country specific economic outcomes with data on contributions to the online encyclopedia. As a source of exogenous variation in the economic state we use the fact that European countries were affected by the financial crisis in the US in September 2008 with different intensity. For European countries, we find that the economic downturn is associated with more viewership, which channels higher participation of volunteers in Wikipedia expressed in editing activity and content growth. We provide evidence for increased information search online or online learning as a potential channel of the change in public goods provision, which is a potentially important side effect of the economic downturn.

“…Previous studies support this claim since women consider helping others more important than men do -an attitude that could lead to actual helping behaviour (Wilson and Musick 2006). Specifically, when compared to men, women are more inclined to do voluntary works (Taniguchi 2006;Themudo 2006), to spend more hours to volunteering (Manning 2010), and to be members of voluntary organizations (Themudo 2006). Moreover, the rate of charitable giving is higher among women than among men (Rooney et al 2005), just as women tend to give more to charities than men (Mesch et al 2011).…”

The study reported in this paper investigated the determinants of fair trade (FT) product purchase intention among Dutch consumers according to the extended Theory of Planned Behaviour and determined whether the effects of those determinants differ between male and female consumers. To test the various research hypotheses, an online survey with 499 respondents from a Dutch research panel was employed. Results of the multi-group analysis using a structural equation modelling approach reveal that FT product purchase intention of both male and female consumers are predicated on moral obligation and self-identity. The impact of subjective norm on purchase intention is statistically significant for male consumers only. Analyses reveal that, indeed, the impact of subjective norm on FT product purchase intention is moderated by consumers' gender.

“…In the assessment of why women may volunteer more than men volunteer, the answer could be found in the traditional roles of men and women where women volunteers were not employed and men who volunteered had fulltime jobs (Taniguchi, 2006). The current state of the workforce includes both men and women with full-time jobs, whether single or married, with or without children or elderly family members to take care of.…”

The purpose of this study was to assess undergraduate student attitudes toward persons with disabilities and whether their attitudes impacted their disability sport volunteerism. The information presented should contribute to a growing field of study that seemingly in its current state lacks a representative amount of research to help people understand the significance of the disabled community and sport. This article is also an attempt entice more persons, especially, undergraduate students to volunteer with disabled persons while in school in an effort to interest them in future career opportunities present within disability sport. This article should be of interest to sport practitioners, academicians and volunteer groups seeking the involvement of undergraduate students in the area of disability sport. Data from the Attitude toward Disabled Persons (ATDP) Scale along with additional questions were collected on 203 undergraduate students. Findings revealed no significant difference between gender and ATDP scores, although, females exhibited more favorable attitudes towards disabled persons. Also, higher ATDP scores translated in volunteer involvement in disability sport events.
