“…However, each of the above cases involved using data from specific programs or institutions, with no attempts at comparisons with other programs. Siegel (1973) has commented that studies such as these have not provided potential employers of paraprofessionals with "overriding uniform criteria for selection" (p. 151). Consequently, we decided to survey the selection practices of a large number of programs in hopes of identifying a composite set of "tried and true," or at least widely used, selection variables.…”

Purpose – This paper aims to propose a conceptual model of philanthropic behavior of volunteers in the health care sector. Design/methodology/approach – This study is based on an extensive review of past research on philanthropic behavior. To conduct the literature review, keywords such as philanthropy, philanthropic behavior, giving, donating, competencies, volunteering and social network in health care were identified. Findings – From the literature reviewed, three groups of antecedents of philanthropic behavior among health care volunteers (HCVs) were identified, viz., individual factors, social factors and organizational factors. This paper proposes social network as a mediating variable in linking the three groups of antecedents with philanthropic behavior. The paper offers a number of propositions which explain the proposed model of philanthropic behavior of HCVs. Practical implications – Further research is suggested to test and validate the framework to provide empirical evidence. Upon model validation, the paper could offer practical interventions for human resource development (HRD) managers to assist philanthropic-based organization toward developing and managing philanthropic behavior of HCVs. The paper highlights the importance of social network to promote individuals to engage in philanthropic actions. Originality/value – The paper yields a new approach in theorizing philanthropic behavior among HCVs by integrating the theory of planned behavior, social identity approach and organizational support theory. The proposed social network as a mediator could provide new insights to the HRD practitioners on developing philanthropic behavior among HCVs subject to model validation. The research contributes to literature in philanthropy, HRD and community development.

“…There is evidence that a combined didactic/experientiaI approach provides more effective training than the traditional didactic approach (e.g., Durlak, 197 1;Carkhuff, 1969; Mohr, Note 1; Selfridge, Weitz, Abramowitz, Calabria, Abramowitz, & Steger, 1975). Yet, many crisis services, with resources strained by direct service demands, simply provide workers with didactic materials (Seigel, 1973;Specter & Claiborn, 1973).…”

The need for an economical technique for evaluating training programs in applied settings led to the development of an analogue assessment technique. The Interview Situation Questionnaire (ISQ) required written responses to ten counseling vignettes. The responses were scored for Affective. Understanding, and Exploratory content using an adaptation of Kagan's (1967) Counselor Verbal Response Scale. In a validation study the ISQ significantly differentiated between counselors and natural scientists. In a comparison between didactically trained students and student volunteers in an experiential/didactic training program, the ISQ was sensitive to initial differences between the groups and to changes in both groups over the training period. The experiential/didactic group showed significantly greater improvement on the Affective dimension. These data are consistent with previous findings and, with corrections for possible ceiling effects, support the usefulness of a brief analogue task as a screening and evaluation tool.
