The Relationship Between Entrepreneurial Alertness, Firm’s Outcomes, and SME-Specific Factors
This study focuses on the cognitive abilities of managers and examines the effect of entrepreneurial alertness (EA) of small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) managers on the quality of strategic decision-making and firm performance under uncertain environmental conditions. This study also sheds light on the antecedents of EA that are crucial for SMEs by focusing on the nuances of socio-emotional wealth (SEW) arising from business succession. The…

Voluntas Symposium: Comments on Salamon and Sokolowski’s Re-conceptualization of the Third Sector
With their “Beyond Nonprofits: Re-conceptualizing the Third Sector”, Salamon and Sokolowski have made an important contribution to the ongoing debate on how to define the third sector. This Voluntas symposium brings together the comments of five leading scholars both supportive and critical of the new definition. The comments are based on a debate held at the conference of the International Society for Third Sector Research, in Stockholm in 2016

Volontiranje studenata u Zagrebu u komparativnom kontekstu
The paper presents an analysis of the results of the research of volunteering of students of the University of Zagreb and Technical and Social Sciences Polytechnics in Zagreb conducted between 2006-2007 within the international comparative research of students in 14 countries of the world. The aim of the research was to collect the data on various aspects of volunteering (experience, basic forms, motivations and benefits of volunteering, values c…
Cultural Values and Volunteering: A Cross-cultural Comparison of Students’ Motivation to Volunteer in 13 Countries
What gives? Cross-national differences in students’ giving behavior
This study is targeted to understanding the giving of time and money among a specific cohort – university students across 13 countries. It explores predictors of different combinations of giving behaviors: only volunteering, only donating, neither, as compared to doing both. Among the predictors of these four types of giving behavior, we also account for cross-national differences across models of civil society. The findings show that students pr…
A Cross-Cultural Examination of Student Volunteering: Is It All About Résumé Building?
This research adopts the utilitarian view of volunteering as a starting point: we posit that for an undergraduate student population volunteering is motivated by career enhancing and job prospects. We hypothesize that in those countries where volunteering signals positive characteristics of students and helps advance their careers, their volunteer participation will be higher. Furthermore, regardless of the signaling value of volunteering, those …
Public Private Partnership between Local Governments and Nonprofits in Japan
In the framework of public sector reform and the recently popularized concept of a new public sphere, attention has been focused on the significance and effectiveness of public private partnership (PPP). However, the smooth operation of PPP practice is yet to be realized, and the nonprofit sector still faces challenges in becoming a government partner in public service provision. We examine government behavior in PPP practice and its stance on pa…
What Determines the Size of the Nonprofit Sector: A Cross-Country Analysis of the Government Failure Theory
This article is an empirical examination of the government failure theory using a cross-country data set. The government failure theory is represented in the major existing literature as providing a sound explanatory basis for an interesting characteristic of the nonprofit sector, that is, there is a large variability in nonprofit sector size from one place to another. Salamon et al. (Social origins of civil society: An overview, Working Papers o…
Social and Cultural Origins of Motivations to Volunteer: A Comparison of University Students in Six Countries
Although participation in volunteering and motivations to volunteer (MTV) have received substantial attention on the national level, particularly in the US, few studies have compared and explained these issues across cultural and political contexts. This study compares how two theoretical perspectives, social origins theory and signalling theory, explain variations in MTV across different countries. The study analyses responses from a sample of 5…
Students’ Vocational Choices and Voluntary Action: A 12-Nation Study
Previous research on student involvement suggested that business and engineering students manifest lowest rates of voluntary action. Similarly, it was thought that social science students are the most involved in voluntary action, with students of natural sciences and humanities in the middle. However, there were very few studies that empirically compared these assertions. Furthermore, these assertions were not investigated from cross-cultural pe…
Is the Government Failure Theory Still Relevant? A panel analysis using US state level data
The purpose of this paper is to empirically examine the robustness of the government failure theory. A core feature of the government failure theory is demand heterogeneity. Previous studies have brought into question the robustness of the government failure theory, due to inconsistent results concerning the explanatory power of demand heterogeneity. Therefore, in this paper we revisit this important research agenda using US state level panel dat…
