“…All Muslims are encouraged to maximize their wealth according to the Shariah principles (Zakaria, Samad, & Shafii', 2012).

In fact, the awareness in performing Waqf among Muslims especially in the Generations Y and Z are important since it is valuable to the Muslims and concurrently can help those needy people. The study objective is to develop the generosity index among the two generations' classifications. The variables that have been selected in this study namely trust, altruism, personal characteristics, self-image, religious value, psychological benefits, social norms, personal satisfaction and commitment. Total of 450 questionnaires managed to be collected from Generations Y and Z respondents in Klang Valley area. Rasch Measurement Model was employed to analyze the data. The construct was found reliable with Cronbach Coefficient Alpha of 0.94. The statistical indicators such Point Measure Correlation (PtMea Corr) and Person Item Distribution Map (PIDM) revealed that all the two generations have different results for their generosity index.

“…Consequentemente, a disputa por doadores também torna-se mais competitiva. Por isso, de acordo com Winterich e Zhang (2014), compreender as motivações que favorecem o comportamento de doação, tornou-se um tema relevante para pesquisadores e profissionais da área a nível mundial (Grace & Griffin, 2006;Borgonovi, 2008;Grace & Griffin, 2009;Opoku, 2013;Barcellos, 2014;Du, Qian & Feng, 2014).…”

“…Complementarmente, na prática, o entendimento, por parte das organizações de caridade das características individuais que levam uma pessoa a realizar doações, pode auxiliar os seus gestores no recrutamento de novos doadores e retenção dos atuais (Choi & Dinitto, 2012) e possibilitar a construção de relacionamentos de longo prazo com os seus doadores (Merchant, Ford & Sargeant, 2010). Pode também apoiar os gestores na melhoria das ações de marketing junto aos seus doadores (Opoku, 2013;Cronin-Gilmore, Bates & Brown, 2014;Lee, Et Al., 2014).…”

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo geral identificar os fatores pessoais que motivam os brasileiros a doarem dinheiro e/ou bens. Para alcançar tal objetivo foi realizada uma pesquisa descritiva, quantitativa com corte transversal. Inicialmente foram identificadas na literatura 58 características pessoais que tendem a motivar o comportamento de doação de dinheiro e/ou bens. Estas variáveis foram convertidas em afirmações e, posteriormente, estruturadas em um questionário. Este questionário foi aplicado junto à 1073 doadores brasileiros que afirmaram realizar com regularidade a doação de dinheiro e/ou bens. Após coletados os dados, foi realizada a análise fatorial exploratória. O agrupamento das variáveis na análise fatorial exploratória resultou em 10 fatores de características pessoais (Imagem Pessoal, Aspectos Sociais, Necessidade de Ajudar, Aspectos Econômicos, Comprometimento com o Próximo, Benefícios Psicológicos, Consciência da Necessidade, Valores Pessoais, Aspectos Demográficos e Disposição em Ajudar). Tal análise favoreceu a identificação de dimensões subjacentes das características pessoais que tendem a motivar a realização da doação de dinheiro e/ou bens.

“…By comparison, there is a huge body of literature written by non-Chinese scholars concerning people's giving behaviour in online charity. Many of these studies put their analytic lens on the role of demographic and socio-psychological variables, including gender (Shier & Handy, 2012), social class (Piff, Kraus, Côté, Cheng, & Keltner, 2010), empathy (andreoni, Rao, & Trachtman, 2011), religiosity and altruism (Opoku, 2013), self-construal (Bennett, Kerrigan, O'Reilly, Skarmeas, & Shabbir, 2011), money perception (Wiepking & Breeze, 2012), shared vision and perceived accessibility (Du et al, 2014), social pressure (Reyniers & Bhalla, 2013) and so forth. These studies have captured some influential factors on people's online charitable behaviours.…”

Traditionally, Chinese people are deeply trapped in an intricate web of guanxi and their charitable commitment is mainly limited within close ties. Recently, the rising social media provides new potential for people's participation in micro-charity online. With connectivity, the socio-technological affordance of social media, people's participation in micro-charity is imbued with distinct meanings from that in traditional charity. This study drew on indepth interview with eight college students. The results indicate that the participants' engagement and commitment are embedded in their interactive activities and end up having significant consequences both for charity and for themselves. During the process, participants undergo rich subjective experience which is clustered around developing connection, fostering engagement, encouraging collaboration and empowering their selves. This study concludes that people's participation in micro-charity is mixed with connective actions -a hybrid that increasingly applies to life within a space of connectivity in which traditional guanxi is losing its grip on individuals, and blood and clan-ties-based relations are being replaced by large-scale, fluid social networks.
