Expressive and instrumental functions provide a way to classify activities that take place in the nonprofit sector. These functions also provide a way to better understand individual's philanthropic involvement with certain types of nonprofit organizations. Despite the usefulness of these classifications, only a few studies have explored demographic, social, and ideological differences in individuals' philanthropic involvement along expressive and instrumental dimensions; and, no studies have explored differences in public awareness of nonprofits along these dimensions. Such awareness, though, could likely be an important precursor to an individual's philanthropic involvement. Thus, the purpose of this study is to explore whether variables known to be associated with variation in philanthropic involvement are also associated with variation in awareness of, what we categorize as, expressive and instrumental nonprofit brands. Using data from a survey of public awareness of, and attitudes toward, nonprofit organizations in San Diego County (n = 1002), our findings show that individuals are more aware of instrumental nonprofit brands than they are of expressive nonprofit brands. However, there are important individual differences to consider. We discuss the theoretical relevance of our findings and offer several practical recommendations for nonprofit administrators.

探索表达性和工具性非营利品牌公众意识变化的个体预测因子

表达性和工具性功能提供了一种对非营利部门中发生的活动进行分类的方法。这些功能还提供了一种更好地了解个人参与某些类型的非营利组织的慈善活动的方法。尽管这些分类很有用,但只有少数研究从表达和工具维度探讨了个人慈善参与的人口、社会和意识形态差异;并且,没有研究在这些方面探讨公众对非营利组织的认识的差异。然而,这种意识可能是个人参与慈善事业的重要前兆。因此,本研究的目的是探讨已知与慈善参与变化相关的变量是否也与我们归类为表现力和工具性非营利品牌的意识变化有关。使用来自圣地亚哥县 (n = 1002) 非营利组织的公众意识和态度调查的数据,我们的研究结果表明,个人对工具性非营利品牌的认知程度高于他们对表达性非营利品牌的认知。然而,有一些重要的个体差异需要考虑。我们讨论了我们的研究结果的理论相关性,并为非营利组织管理者提供了一些实用的建议。在圣地亚哥县 (n = 1002) 的非营利组织中,我们的研究结果表明,与表达性非营利品牌相比,个人对工具性非营利品牌的了解程度更高。然而,有一些重要的个体差异需要考虑。我们讨论了我们的研究结果的理论相关性,并为非营利组织管理者提供了一些实用的建议。在圣地亚哥县 (n = 1002) 的非营利组织中,我们的研究结果表明,与表达性非营利品牌相比,个人对工具性非营利品牌的了解程度更高。然而,有一些重要的个体差异需要考虑。我们讨论了我们的研究结果的理论相关性,并为非营利组织管理者提供了一些实用的建议。
