“…An empirical research, there are many scholars have studied the relationship between trust and self-efficacy. Cheung and Chan using social cognitive theory and other theories in charitable contributions examined some related factors in social cognitive, the results show that trust in self-efficacy has a very significant impact on the relationship, which can evoke trust contributions cognitive self-efficacy [14]. Pavlou and Fygenson extended the theory of planned behavior to explain the process of electronic commerce to be accepted by people, they think that trust is a prerequisite for-perceived behavioral control, this kind of behavior control consist of two important factors: self-efficacy and control, and in the results only prove trust to the effect of control force [15].…”

Increasing organizations and educational institutions have implemented virtual learning communities to encourage knowledge sharing. Virtual Learning Community was able to serve the learning goals of community members by relying on the knowledge sharing. In this paper, some individual factors and environmental factors were used to study the knowledge sharing among community members. In virtual learning community, the sense of community and trust are important indicators for the development of community, and the members of mature community tend to have strong a sense of community and trust. Ten hypothesizes and the way of questionnaire survey were presented to explore the impact of social interaction, perceptual learning, trust, a sense of community and self-efficacy for knowledge sharing among members in community. The empirical results show that social interaction behavior between members has a significant role in promoting trust and a sense of belonging, and trust, a sense of community and a sense of self-efficacy among members has a significant effect to the knowledge sharing in virtual learning community, while a sense of self-efficacy among members in the virtual learning community is largely affected by the learning community perception.

Nonprofit brand image plays an important role in shaping consumers' charitable donations and therefore nonprofit organizations must be aware of how consumers perceive them. This research examines nonprofit brand image and reports findings from three empirical studies, which aim to offer a better conceptualization and measurement of the concept. Study 1 investigates the psychometric properties of the Michel and Rieunier's (2012) nonprofit brand image scales with a sample from the UK, and reports key methodological limitations. Specifically, discriminant and convergent validity tests highlight the need for further research into the dimensionality of the nonprofit brand image measures. Subsequently, studies 2 and 3 offer an improved conceptualization and measurement of nonprofit brand image and validate the scales via the use of 2 separate data sets. The new measures consists of 6 dimensions namely, usefulness, efficiency, affect, dynamism, reliability and ethicality which are significantly related to intentions to donate money and time.

“…This issue is not simply a matter of concern for corporate donors and governments (Hemphill, 1999;Martin, 2001;Quarter and Richmond, 2001;Lee, 2003), it is also an issue that donors, individuals, governments, and granting bodies consider when determining which nonprofit to support financially (Sargeant, 1999;Cheung and Chan, 2000;Polonsky and Shelley, 2002;Warren and Lloyd, 2009), with some donors and the charitable organizations themselves seeking to evaluate the financial return from donations. Again, there is an obligation to ensure that donor money, wherever it is coming from, is being spent effectively and that all constituents benefit from the nonprofits' activities (Bouckaert and Vandenhove, 1998).…”

There is increased societal pressure on charities to improve performance. The questions that they must ask are: (1) Who is our audience? (2) What evaluation measures are important to the organization? and (3) What evaluation measures are best for the organization? There are a number of different approaches available for assessing performance, ranging from social accounting to more informal qualitative assessments of whether the organization's mission is being achieved. This paper draws on the industry and academic discussion of evaluations of nonprofit organizations to develop a four-category typology of alternative approaches for audiences. It then identifies the benefits and limitations of each. The goal is to identify the steps that charities should use to determine which approach is most suited to their specific circumstances. It is proposed that a collaborative development of evaluation criteria, of whichever type, may be most appropriate as will draw together the experiences and resources of multiple parties, and may have broader appeal than evaluations proposed by individual nonprofits.
