Impact of mobilization context on employees' donation intentions in China

We examined the influence mechanism of employees’ donation intentions in 4 different mobilization contexts in the workplace in China. Employees (N = 528) from 50 organizations in China completed a survey and the results showed that mobilization context has a significant effect both on employees’ perceived pressures and on donation intentions. Specifically, the relationship between employees and the organizer of the contributions in the workplace had a stronger influence on both employees’ perceived pressures and donation intentions than did releasing a list of donors and amount of donations. In addition, perceived pressure was found to play a mediating role between the mobilization context and employees’ donation intentions, and also to have a significantly negative effect on employees’ donation intentions.
