“…Similarly, kidney is the most known transplantable organ also cited in the literature [2, 7, 9, 12, 13, 14]. This result may lead to the opinion that majority of the patients waiting for organ transplantation are those with renal failure, and this subject creates awareness as it is mentioned in the media more frequently.…”

“…Organ transplantation is a process of transferring a healthy and the same duty organ from a living person, a person with established diagnosis of brain death or a dead person. Organ transplantation is a successful treatment method against irreversible vital organ failures as well as being a second life chance for the patients with organ failure [1, 2, 3]. As for organ donation, a person documents and permits with his/her own will that his/her tissues and organs are going to be used for the treatment of other patients after he/she dies medically [4].…”

The way of increasing the number of transplantations from cadavers is accomplished by increasing the number of organ donors.…”

This study aims to investigate the effects of the rewards for organ donation as a promotion strategy, which is part of a campaign to promote organ donation in Korea by the non‐profit organization Korean Network for Organ Sharing. This study examines how the effects of rewards for organ donation differ in terms of reward types, public self‐consciousness, and stages of change. An interaction effect between types of reward, stage of change, and the degree of public self‐consciousness was found. Reward type and stage of change were found to function as moderators of the effect of public self‐consciousness on the intention to register for organ donation. The effect of public self‐consciousness on the intention for organ donation was positive and statistically significant among those who were in the contemplation stage and exposed to non‐material types of reward. On the other hand, the effect of public self‐consciousness on the intention for organ donation was negative among those in the pre‐contemplation stage and exposed to material types of reward. Practical implications for organ donation organizations are suggested. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
