“…That is why nonprofits generally add other trust guarantees in order to secure their social mission, such as the involvement of different stakeholders, including donors and voluntary workers, in their decision-making structures (Ben-Ner and Gui, 2000;Enjolras, 2000). The rationale is the following: if these stakeholders, who are close to the organization, are ready to give money (donors) or time (voluntary workers) ''for free,'' it is highly unlikely that the firm acts in a opportunistic way against the announced goals.…”

“…A number of economic theories attempt to explain why voluntary organisations may be created, including the failure of the market or state to provide public goods and services (Hayes, 1996;Weisbrod, 1988) and an assumed trustworthiness factor that is not shared by counterparts motivated by profit (Ben-Ner and Gui 2003;Hansmann 1987;Seibel and Anheier 1990). Salamon (1987) argues that the rise of voluntary organisations is the direct result of market failure, with voluntary failure signalling the need for a government response.…”

“…Todas las características inherentes a los servicios provoca que en su prestación puedan cobrar gran relevancia las interrelaciones -y no sólo económicas -entre prestador y receptor: al implicarse en la propia producción del servicio su usuario, al ser la producción y el consumo simultáneo, y al depender la evaluación de la calidad del servicio de numerosos intangibles vinculados, en gran medida, a la relación entre oferentes y demandantes del servicio. Y es en este mundo de interrelaciones y encuentros personales en el que las entidades del tercer sector pueden actuar de una manera significativamente dis-tinta (BEN-NER; GUI, 2002). El carácter prevalente del fin o misión de la entidad del tercer sector -en las que no se persigue un lucro partible, a diferencia de las entidades mercantiles -y el mayor ámbito de libertad en lo que se refiere a sus actuaciones -a diferencia de las relaciones administrativas -es lo que permite marcos más apropiados para esas relaciones de encuentro e interrelación, en los que se puede generar una comunidad y un universo de significaciones con carácter propio y que resulta muy relevante en las demandas de servicios en las que la persona que los requiere se siente, de alguna forma, en una situación de 'debilidad' o 'inferioridad' (asistencia social, sanidad, educación), mostrando con ella una mayor necesidad de comprensión y cercanía, en tanto que está mostrando un aspecto de su persona que transciende de lo que constituye un mero intercambio de prestaciones con valor económico 24 .…”
