Hourly Payment and Volunteering: The Effect of Organizational Practices on Decisions About Time Use
研究按小时计酬等让时间经济价值凸显的组织实践如何减少人们花在志愿服务上的时间,基于全国调查数据和实验发现,按小时计酬者更少参与志愿服务,且计算时薪会降低非按小时计酬者的志愿意愿。
We examine how organizational practices making an economic evaluation of time salient, such as hourly pay, can lead people to spend less time on uncompensated work—volunteering. Using nationally representative survey data, in Study 1 we showed that, with other factors that might affect time decisions controlled, people paid by the hour were both less likely to volunteer and spent less time volunteering than counterparts who were not paid hourly. Study 2 showed that having people calculate their hourly wage was associated with decreased willingness to volunteer and that this experimental manipulation only affected people not paid by the hour.
