“…Clark and Wilson's (1961) material, solidary, and purposive typology was also empirically tested via factor analytic procedures with mixed results. Clarke et al (1978) supported the typology finding that these three factors explained approximately half of the variance in why individuals initiate participation. Friedmann et al (1988), Wandersman et al (1987), and Knoke and Wood (1981) revealed evidence suggesting a bimotivational typology consisting of material benefits and social/purposive benefits.…”

“…A number of studies have directly tested and applied Clark and Wilson's (1961) typology to the examination of participation in voluntary block associations (Friedmann et al, 1988;Wandersman et al, 1987), voluntary political influence organizations (Knoke & Wood, 1981), and political party organizations (Clarke, Price, Stewart, & Krause, 1978;Conway & Feigert, 1968). These studies were consistent in finding that participants reported purposive and solidary motives/benefits as the most common (Friedmann et al, 1988;Wandersman et al, 1987), purposive motives as most important for initiating participation (Clarke et al, 1978;Conway & Feigert, 1968;Knoke & Wood, 1981), and solidary, purposive, and material motives as important for sustaining participation (Clarke et al, 1978;Conway & Feigert, 1968). Clark and Wilson's (1961) material, solidary, and purposive typology was also empirically tested via factor analytic procedures with mixed results.…”

Social exchange and political economy theories are applied to the examination of voluntary organization participation and viability to understand individual and organizational empo werment. In the Block Booster Project, 29 block associations were examined via organizational assessment questionnaires from 381participants and interviews with 28 leaders. More-active participants reported more social~communal and personal benefits than less-active participants. Least-active participants reported more so-1This article is based on the first author's dissertation in Clinical

“…Hence, these results conformed to a onefactor model for the benefit items (Butterfoss, 1993;Chinman et al, 1996). Although the results for the cost items agreed with a one-factor model (Chinman et al, 1996), it did not conform to either the two-factor model (Butterfoss, 1993;Freidmann et al, 1988;Norton et al, 1993;Prestby et al, 1990;Wandersman et al, 1987) or the three-factor model found in previous research (Butterfoss, 1993;Clarke, Price, Stewart, & Krause, 1978;Kanter, 1968;Knoke & Adams, 1987). One study (Chinman et al, 1996) outlined its strategies in determining the number of factors or components, and the findings of this study are similar in a one-factor model for both the benefits and the costs items.…”

The Costs and Benefits to Participants in Community Partnerships: A Paradox?

This article examines the degree of stakeholder participation in health and social partnership schemes in relation to their perceptions of benefits, costs, satisfaction, commitment, and ownership. The findings suggest that (a) involvement, commitment, and sense of ownership were invariably associated with high benefits and mostly with low costs; (b) benefits, commitment, and ownership might be more sensitive monitors of involvement than costs and satisfaction; (c) an increase in involvement was initially associated with decreased costs and increased satisfaction up to a point beyond which costs increased and satisfaction decreased despite increasing benefits; and (d) favorable cost-benefit ratios were perceived when the benefits were at least 1.6 times the costs. Partnership initiatives need to explore the involvement "cut-off" point at which the costs (and satisfaction) might change direction. For favorable cost-benefit ratios, benefits need to be at least 60% more than costs (Ansari's paradox).

“…This finding seems to hold true of the most active members of the association (Bailey, 1974;Knoke & Prensky, 1984;Rich, 1980). Some studies have even suggested that purposive motives are most important for initiating membership (Clarke, Price, Stewart, & Krause, 1978;Knoke & Wood, 1981), whereas all three motive types are important for continuation of membership (Clarke et al, 1978;Conway & Feigert, 1968).…”

Motives for initiating and continuing membership in a recreation‐related voluntary association

The purpose of this study was to examine motives for joining and continuing membership in a recreation-related voluntary association. The theoretical framework for this study was based on a three-category incentive typology. Data were obtained from 371 members of a voluntary association with a mail-back questionnaire. Results indicated that the most important reason for joining and continuing membership in the association was to contribute to society. The least important reason was for an incentive or material benefit. Shifts in importance in these reasons from joining to continuing were assessed, as were the influence of gender and income level.
