Factors underlying public attitudes towards loneliness among elderly people with chronic illnesses
The objectives of the study were to examine public attitudes towards the joint incidence of loneliness, old age, and chronic illness and to identify possible influences on stigmatising attitudes towards lonely elderly individuals with chronic illnesses sometimes held by members of the general public. A survey questionnaire methodology was applied involving 604 responses to a questionnaire that queried, among other things, a participant's levels o…
Art and the asylum seeker
The purpose of the current research was to examine possibilities for assuaging public hostility towards asylum seekers by showing members of the public paintings completed by asylum seekers. Two types of paintings were presented to one or other of two groups of participants in the investigation. One group viewed paintings depicting happy asylum seekers, the other viewed paintings containing sad images of asylum seekers. It emerged that viewing ei…
“We’re so sorry – yes we really are”
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to determine the strengths of the influences of certain factors potentially contributing to an effective apology for a fundraising charity. Four motivational forces possibly affecting public acceptance of an apology issued by a charity are explored, i.e. persuasion knowledge activation, a viewer’s regulatory focus, trait forgiveness and scepticism regarding charity advertising. Design/methodology/approach Text…
Making space for co-creation
Contemporary art provids a novel means to interrogate historical evidence, along with the institutions that conserve and curate it. With reference to more nuanced understandings of ‘co-creation’ and ‘cultural capital’, the paper explores the relationships that facilitate art interventions in heritage attractions. It considers two interrelated but distinct domains of co-creation: the varied forms and dynamics of collaborations between host institu…
Using artwork to market sensitive issues within heritage museums
This paper presents the outcomes to three case studies of heritage museums that employed contemporary artwork to arouse visitors’ interest in subjects covered by these museums but which could not easily be examined using conventional media (pamphlets, placards on museum walls, written text on electronic information stations, etc.). The details of relevant collaborations between contemporary artists and museums intended to achieve this purpose are…
Factors Influencing the Break Even Probabilities of Agency Recruited Low Value Charity Donors
This study examined the considerations that may affect the likelihood of a charity donor, who was recruited face-to-face by a paid external agency and who gave through a low value monthly standing order, reaching the point of financial break even within a certain period of time; taking into account the person’s additional ad hoc contributions to the organisation. Break even was defined as the situation pertaining when a supporter’s total donation…
Marketing of Voluntary Organizations as Contract Providers of National and Local Government Welfare Services in the UK
Voluntary organisations have become major providers of numerous social welfare services that previously were supplied by the state. In Britain, between 35 and 40% of the average human services charity’s annual income now derives from government (predominantly local government) sources, meaning that the acquisition of fresh contracts to undertake government funded work, in conjunction with the maintenance of good relations with government funders …
Factors associated with student plagiarism in a post‐1992 university
A model intended to explain the incidence of plagiarism among undergraduates in the Business Studies department of a post‐1992 university was constructed and tested on a sample of 249 students completing Business Studies units at a post‐1992 university in Greater London. It was hypothesised that the occurrence of plagiarism could be predicted via three attitudinal considerations (individual perceptions of the ethicality of the practice, fear of p…
Internal Marketing, Negative Experiences, and Volunteers'Commitment to Providing High-Quality Services in a UK Helping and Caring Charitable Organization
This empirical study examined the effects of “negative'' contact experiences with beneficiaries on charity volunteers' job satisfaction and organizational commitment within a helping and caring charitable organization that for 3.5 years had operated an internal marketing program. It was hypothesized that negative experiences downwardly moderated (i) the impact of the charity's internal market activities on satisfaction and commitment, and (ii) th…
Media reporting of Third World disasters
Editors or senior journalists within a sample of 21 leading UK newspapers were questioned about their opinions of the quality of the information about foreign (especially Third World) catastrophes supplied to them by the major disaster relief charities (Oxfam, Save the Children, ActionAid, etc.). The study also examined the procedures employed by journalists when searching for information about disasters, the major sources of information other th…
Emergency fund‐raising for disaster relief
Two hundred members of the public were interviewed in high street and railway station locations in central London to ascertain the considerations that encourage them to donate generously to a disaster relief fund‐raising appeal. It emerged that the major fund‐raising triggers involved media representations of the indigency of aid recipients, portrayals of people helping themselves, and highly emotive advertising imagery. Although they were potent…
