what drives the gender gap in charitable giving lower empathy leads men to give less to poverty Relief
Social Science Research, 2015Co-Authors: Robb Willer, Christopher Wimer, Lindsay A OwensAbstract:We draw upon past research on gender and prosocial emotions in hypothesizing that empathy can help explain the gender gap in charitable giving. In a nationally representative survey, we found that men reported less willingness to give money or volunteer time to a poverty Relief Organization, gaps that were mediated by men's lower reported feelings of empathy toward others. We also experimentally tested how effective a variety of different ways of framing poverty Relief were for promoting giving. Framing poverty as an issue that negatively affects all Americans increased men's willingness to donate to the cause, eliminating the gender gap. Mediation analysis revealed that this "aligned self-interest" framing worked by increasing men's reported poverty concern, not by changing their understanding of the causes of poverty. Thus, while men were generally less motivated by empathy, they responded to a framing that recast charitable giving as consistent with their self-interest. Exposure to the same framing, however, led women to report lower willingness to volunteer time for poverty Relief, suggesting that framing giving as consistent with self-interest may discourage those who give because of an empathic response to poverty.

food safety knowledge and behavior of emergency food Relief Organization workers effects of food safety training intervention
Journal of Environmental Health, 2005Co-Authors: Cristin Finch, Eileen DanielAbstract:The food safety knowledge and food-handling behaviors of 267 volunteer and staff workers in emergency food Relief Organizations in western New York State were assessed before and after food safety training. Training was voluntary and emphasized basic food safety and prevention of foodborne illness. Results from the pre-test showed major gaps in the knowledge and behaviors of those working with physically vulnerable populations in emergency food services. These gaps, particularly failure to use food thermometers and unsafe use of hands, could lead to outbreaks of foodborne disease. Independent-samples t-tests, used to compare pre- and post-test scores, indicated that workers' knowledge and reported behaviors significantly improved followin good safety training (p < .0001). There is a need for relevant and ongoing food safety education in this group.

coordination of Relief items procurement in humanitarian logistic based on quantity flexibility contract
International journal of disaster risk reduction, 2018Co-Authors: Fatemeh Nikkhoo, Ali Bozorgiamiri, Jafar HeydariAbstract:Abstract Nowadays, coordination of Relief items procurement in humanitarian logistics has become one of the main challenges of disaster management. In this paper, we utilize a quantity flexibility contract (QFC) to coordinate ordering activities in a three-echelon Relief chain. This multi-echelon supply chain consists of a Relief Organization (i.e., NGO), one Relief item supplier, and affected areas. In the proposed QFC, initially, the Relief Organization places an order before the disaster strikes and is committed to purchasing the initial quantity no less than a previously agreed amount. On the other hand, the supplier is committed to providing up to a certain amount above the initial order, if needed. Expected profit functions of Relief chain members include transportation cost, inventory cost, the manufacturing cost of Relief items, shortage cost, salvage value, and satisfaction level of affected areas. Our findings show that, under demand uncertainty, the proposed QFC not only prevents significant losses at Relief Organization but also enhances satisfaction level of the affected areas. Finally, the performance of the proposed coordination model is examined via various numerical experiments and managerial insights are extracted.
