The impact of timebanking on volunteering behaviors
通过在上海进行的随机调查实验（n=361），发现接触时间银行情境的参与者表达高频志愿服务意愿的可能性是对照组的近三倍，且该效应在内在满足感强的频繁志愿者中最为显著。
Global declines in formal volunteering have prompted interest in alternative mechanisms like timebanking. This study investigates the impact of timebanking on future volunteering intentions using a between-subjects randomized survey experiment (n= 361) in Shanghai, China. Participants exposed to a timebanking vignette were nearly three times more likely to express high-frequency volunteering intentions than the control group. This positive effect was most pronounced among frequent volunteers with strong intrinsic satisfaction, but attenuated among self-interested respondents. These findings suggest that institutionalized, non-monetary incentives can increase willingness to participate without undermining intrinsic motivation.
