Description
Summary:With the focus of the media headlines on the economic and political impacts, it is unclear to what extent this has affected charitable donations. The successful implementation of a donation campaign represents a major marketing challenge in the current economic climate. There is a growing consensus that social marketing can play an important role in persuading charitable donation behaviour. Our study addresses this salient research question from a social marketing perspective: What are the motivators of charitable donation behaviour? While we acknowledge that a variety of factors may affect consumer charitable behaviour, we focus on providing a conceptual understanding of how the effect of surveillance on charitable donation behaviour could be intervened by personality factors such as self-monitoring and need for approval. Ultimately, we seek to improve our understanding of consumer engagement in charitable donation behaviour from a social marketing perspective, in turn, consumer welfare.
