Modeling the Effect of Multidimensional Trust on Individual Monetary Donations to Charitable Organizations
研究在沙特阿拉伯收集数据，用结构方程模型分析多维信任对个人向慈善组织货币捐赠的影响，发现信任包括对他人的信任倾向和对慈善组织能力、诚信及受益人权益优先的信念，并影响捐赠意愿和实际行为。
This study develops and validates a model that evaluates the effect of trust on individual monetary donations to charitable organizations (COs). Data were collected in Saudi Arabia using a two-stage approach and were analyzed via structural equation modeling. Data on psychosocial variables were collected in the first stage, and data on behavior were collected in the second stage, 4 weeks later. The findings confirm the study’s novel multidimensional perspective of trust in the context of individual monetary donations to COs in Saudi Arabia. The results validate the view that trust is present only when the individuals concerned are disposed to trust others and when they believe that the COs can conduct their charitable mission, are honest in the use of their donations, and prioritize beneficiaries’ rights. Individuals’ trust in COs affects both the intention to donate and future monetary donation behavior.
