    Employment Sector and Work Motivations: Can Legal Status Alone Explain the Difference?
    (Taylor & Francis, 2024) Lee, Young-joo; Lilly Family School of Philanthropy
    This study examines whether the legal status of an organization alone can explain the differences in work motivations, by comparing different types of childcare centers in the U.S. The findings reveal both sectoral differences and within-sector variations based on centers’ sponsorship status and funding structure. Childcare staff in sponsored nonprofit and public centers have stronger altruistic motivations to help children and families while those working in independent nonprofit and public centers are not different from for-profit center staff. Receiving a mix of government and private funding is also positively associated with childcare staff’s altruistic motivations.

    Online Versus In-Person Associational Involvement and Informal Volunteering
    (Springer Nature, 2024-06) Lee, Young-joo; Lilly Family School of Philanthropy
    This study examines the implications of online associational involvement for informal volunteering. The analysis of the 2017 Volunteering and Civic Life Supplement of the Current Population Survey shows that people who split their time between online and in-person associational activities are more likely to volunteer informally than those who are involved online only. The results also reveal that people who are involved 100% in-person are more likely to volunteer informally every day while they are not more likely to participate in low or moderate levels of informal volunteering than others. These findings suggest that online associational involvement is not mere slacktivism but has positive implications for informal volunteering if people continue to participate in-person as well.

    Un(der)rated: Nonprofit leader gender and external accreditations of transparency
    (Wiley, 2024-02) Lee, Young-joo; Lilly Family School of Philanthropy
    The gender-ethics theory posits that female leaders' higher ethical standards contribute to an improved culture of transparency within an organization. This study examines if the positive implication of women's leadership for organizational transparency replicates in the context of an external accreditation of transparency, using the case of GuideStar's Seal of Transparency (SOT). Unlike what gender-ethic theory suggests, the results reveal that nonprofits led by female CEOs are not only less likely to have an SOT, but the gap based on CEO gender also increases for higher-level seals. This study explains the contradiction using concepts of the gender leadership gap and gender differences in the pursuit of external accreditations.

    Welcoming Strangers: Protestant Churches’ Involvement in Refugee Resettlement in the United States
    (Wiley, 2024-06) Lee, Young-joo; Lilly Family School of Philanthropy
    Providing shelters and other aid for refugees is one of the core Christian principles, but there exists a great divide in Protestant churches’ response to the refugee crisis. This study examines what contributes to the divide, focusing on how various congregational characteristics relate to churches’ interests and involvement in refugee resettlement. The analysis of the 2018–2019 National Congregations Study data reveals that political conservatism within a church is linked to the disinterest in refugee resettlement. The results also show that churches with more members who have a bachelor's degree and churches participating in international humanitarian works are more likely to have discussions on refugee resettlement. In terms of direct involvement in helping refugees, congregational members’ migration experiences seem to make a significant difference.

    What drives organizational missions in the nonprofit sector? An institutional logic dependence perspective Get access Arrow
    (Oxford, 2023-02) Hwang, Hyunseok; Lee, Young-joo; Lilly Family School of Philanthropy
    This study examines how institutional multiplicity shapes nonprofit organizations’ mission-oriented actions by using the institutional logics perspective. We test how different institutional logics (professional, market, state, and community logics) independently and collectively affect mission-oriented actions of nonprofit organizations, focusing on the two focal subsectors: human service organizations and art and culture organizations. Using a panel dataset of 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations between 2000 and 2010, we find that multiple institutional logics jointly as well as independently affect nonprofits’ mission-oriented actions and this relationship varies between the two subsectors. The findings offer empirical evidence of how multiple logics co-exist and how the dynamics among multiple logics may shape nonprofits’ actions across different subsectors.
