Diverse Motivations Research Articles

Exploring data use in nonprofit organizations

Organizations around the world have increasingly employed data for a variety of purposes, and nonprofit organizations are no exception. This article reviews the use of data in nonprofit organizations, including the types of data collected and accessed, the motivations for data capture, and the barriers to systematic use of data. The literature shows that nonprofit organizations capture a variety of data, including public and financial data, performance measures, program evaluation data, and volunteer information. Organizations use these with diverse motivations such as program or organizational improvement, marketing, and accountability. Prominent barriers faced by organizations include challenges in identifying meaningful information, lack of technical ability, inability to prioritize data work, as well as external influences. The article highlights the challenges in synthesizing the available literature, with a high degree of fragmentation, including research from distinct intellectual traditions resulting in many disconnected constructs, measurements, and theories. Finally, the paper discusses challenges in the study of nonprofit data use and strives to provide guidance for future inquiry.

The ideology of establishing Israeli museums during (1930-1983)

The study aimed to identify the ideology of establishing Israeli museums during (1930-1983), by analyzing the goals of building museums in a period of time starting from their development in the “kibbutz” collective settlements until the approval of the Museums Law in 1983. The study concluded that there is a diversity in the Israeli ideology in building museums, represented by the competitiveness of the diverse Jewish culture in Israel, and its role in documenting the Jewish Holocaust, which attracted the public’s sympathy about the experience of the persecution of the Jew, while the kibbutz museums focused on the Holocaust from another perspective by depicting the experience of The ghetto fighters in their confrontation with the Nazis, which confirms the lack of unification of the vision from the Holocaust museums, whether the experience of persecution or resistance, while there was an ideology in the development of museums represented in documenting the historical narrative and linking modern Israel with the ancient history of the Jews. Finally, the museums focused on documenting the experience of the military force that had a role in establishing Israel after they killed the Palestinians and expelled them from their land in 1948. It became clear that the Israeli museums were random targets until the Knesset passed the Museums Law in 1983 to organize and define the objectives of the museum in Israel.
 Originality/Value: This study investigates the ideology behind the Israeli museum establishment from 1930 to 1983. It reveals diverse motivations, particularly in representing Jewish culture and documenting the Holocaust. The study also uncovers contrasting narratives within Holocaust museums and highlights the role of museums in documenting historical narratives and the military's role in Israel's establishment. The enactment of the Museums Law in 1983 marked a significant step in regulating and defining the objectives of Israeli museums.

THE MOTIVE OF FREEDOM IN JACK LONDON’S NOVEL «MARTIN EDEN»

Jack London used a variety of motives in his works: mythological motives, the motive of adventure, the motives of friendship and love, the motive of lust for profit and true humanity, and also, the motive of freedom takes honorable place in this list. Freedom is a magnificent word, and it is also main purpose for humans, even if it might not be the only one. The freedom is not philosophical speculation, but the possibilities for human action under the restraints of existential conditions in real life. Free people are not abstract concepts, but real individuals in real life, because this is precisely what concerns literature. Due to the individual’s numerous difficulties in socialized life, how to obtain freedom, that is, the possibility of choice for the individual in life, has been an important topic in literature from ancient times to the present. From this another topic is produced, so-called fate and whether it can be predicted. The philosophical question of what is freedom and how to use it in real life is very popular in literature. «Martin Eden» by Jack London offers insights on the American social class structure during the early- to mid-20th century, which is still relevant today. The protagonist is a representative of the lower-class, having worked a blue-collar job before deciding to become a writer. The motive of a person’s destiny is broad and multifaceted, it is closely related to the motives of fate and the motive of freedom. A person's destiny can be influenced by character, human values, and fate. The desire for freedom is one of the important factors that influence a person's destiny.

Cortázar: los relatos fragmentados y la importancia de un lector activo

In the following article, we have sought to highlight Cortázar’s concept of the author-work-reader relationship. From his earliest novels, Cortázar revealed his intent to break with the established canon, with his most important work, Hopscotch, demonstrating this very rupture with respect to the traditional concept of the novel. Such an idea of fragmented stories that alternate with other types of discourse did, however, respond to what we believe is a more active type of participation from the reader who is beseiged by a variety of motives. This approach even leads the author to articulate different forms of discourse in which he can include “stories”k through frames, as is the case in Último round.

Substance Use Experiences Among Bisexual, Pansexual, and Queer (Bi+) Male Youth: A Qualitative Study of Motivations, Consequences, and Decision Making.

Sexual minority youth are at increased risk of substance use compared to their heterosexual peers, and bisexual youth appear to be at greatest risk. However, little is known about their motivations for and against using substances, how they make decisions, and what consequences they experience. We used qualitative data from a study of 54 cisgender and transgender male youth (ages 14–17 years) who reported attractions to more than one gender or regardless of gender (i.e., bisexual, pansexual, or queer; collectively referred to as bi+) to explore these aspects of substance use. Participants completed a survey and an interview, and interviews were thematically analyzed. Qualitative analyses revealed that participants described diverse motivations for using substances (e.g., to cope with stress, to experiment, to have fun) and for not using them (e.g., concern about consequences, not having access). The most common sources of stress were mental health problems, school, and family. They did not describe sexual orientation-related stress as a motivation for their use, but they acknowledged that it could influence others’ use. Participants also described thinking about when, where, and with whom they were going to use prior to doing so (e.g., only using in safe places and with people who they trusted). Finally, they described a range of consequences they experienced (e.g., getting sick, getting in trouble), and a subset of transgender participants described experiencing dependence symptoms. These findings suggest that substance use prevention and harm reduction interventions for bi+ male youth should address diverse motivations for use, including general stressors, which are often overlooked compared to minority-specific stressors. Further, interventions should approach youth as capable of making decisions. Findings also highlight the particular need to address substance use among transgender youth.

Applying virtual reality tourism to cultural heritage sites: A case study on Al-Diriyah

Virtual Reality (VR) has existed in various forms since the 1960s and has been known by different terms such as artificial reality, simulator technology, and synthetic environment. The technology used to realize VR has continued to develop applications in discrete domains. In the travel and tourism industry, VR enables tourists to interact with their destinations in great detail, provides travelers with abundant information, and allows users to satisfy diverse motives by participating in activities that accord them with a rich digital experience of locations, including heritage and cultural sites. This paper attends to the general application of VR technologies in tourism, focusing particularly on heritage-based cultural sites to understand the advantages and threats of VR, given the contemporary global circumstances. The article is grounded in the descriptive-analytical approach and combines theoretical as well as field studies through the administration of a questionnaire on tourism and heritage to a wide range of respondents. The questionnaire pertains to virtual tourism at the Al-Diriyah heritage site and probes related expectations, possibilities, and obstacles.

PERANCANGAN READY-TO-WEAR UNTUK ANAK MUDA DENGAN BATIK PHOENIX KONTEMPORER PADA BRAND DRL

Batik is an Indonesian cultural heritage that has been recognized by UNESCO, batik in Indonesia has diverse motives and in each region has unique and different characteristics. The batik technique was originally handmade batik which was processed using canting and wax, as well as the process of using human labor, because of that it has more value and high price. But as the times evolve, various batik techniques emerge which process is faster, by using mechanical power so that it can be sold at a cheap price, the technique is of various kinds, one of which is stamp batik. This modern batik technique makes it possible to make motifs that are more modern and most commonly found on the market. Therefore, batik also requires the development of motifs so that it can compete with other batik techniques, moreover handmade batik is an original technique that must be preserved. Batik in the past was quite in demand in the field of fashion, but with the rapid development of the world with the influence of technology and culture from outside which also influenced fashion trends. Because of that batik began to lag behind, because it was considered too formal, old-fashioned, so that young people are less interested. Therefore the development of batik needs to be done so that it can continue to compete with other fashion trends, and so batik is not forgotten because it is inferior to other developing trends. Therefore the research was conducted with interview techniques and surveys of experts and extreme users, and it is known that batik can develop through motifs and designs. And from the results of research on the target market can also be known colors and designs that are preferred. From these results obtained ideas to design batik with contemporary motif designs, as well as modern styles that follow fashion trends.

A tragic coalition of the rational and irrational: A threat to collective responses to COVID-19

ABSTRACT There is not as much resistance to COVID-19 mitigation as there seems, but there are structural features that make resistance seem worse than it is. Here, we describe two ways that the problem seeming to be worse than it is can make it worse. First, visible hesitation to implement COVID-19 responses signals to the wider society that mitigation measures may not succeed, which undermines people’s conditional willingness to join in on those efforts. Second, our evaluations of others’ willingness to implement these measures are informed by our attempts to mind-read them. Yet attempts to mind-read groups often mislead us, because groups invariably act from diverse motives, whereas mind-reading works best when identifying relatively stable and consistent motivations. This means that a small minority of people refusing to implement measures can have an outsized prominence that prompts mind-reading to diagnose widespread hesitation. These two factors form a feedback loop with each other: we see some people’s hesitation, which prompts us to mind-read other people as being more uncertain about the responses than they actually are, which undermines our confidence in the responses, which in turn encourages others to mind-read this hesitation, which further undermines confidence.

Price tradeoff or sharing partnership? Understanding guest-to-guest relationships in P2P accommodation

Current literature of peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodation has primarily focused on dyadic host-guest relationships while neglecting another important type of interpersonal relationship in real accommodation-sharing settings: the guest-to-guest interaction. This research aims to explore interactions between P2P accommodation guests and particularly, examine the role of other guests in shaping P2P accommodation guests’ motives and on-site experiences. The thematic analysis of interview data identified an uncertainty-interaction nexus consisting of four types of guest-to-guest relationships: price tradeoff, co-production of stimulating experiences, reticent sharing, and sharing partnership. Different relationship patterns are closely related to guests’ diverse motives for using P2P accommodation and some reflect guests’ intended collaborations and community awareness. Our findings further indicate that the relationship patterns between guests are not fixed, which can change according to the culmulation of guests’ P2P accommodation experiences and hosts’ compatibility management. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.

Comparing Male and Female Entrepreneurs-Is the Comparison Justified? (A Qualitative Study in Indian Perspective)

In entrepreneurial literature male and female entrepreneurs are compared frequently. Female entrepreneur’s contributions are significantly appreciated but still they are lagging behind male entrepreneurs, is concluded in numerous studies. Women entrepreneurs have diverse motives in comparison to male while engaging in business activities. This study builds on qualitative approach and responses of 22 female entrepreneurs belonging to different industries/domains of Uttar Pradesh (UP), India were collected through face to face in-depth interviews which were analyzed afterwards as per the identified themes. The outcome has concluded that undoubtedly women are made for entrepreneurship but their comparison with male entrepreneurs is completely unjustified; even if researchers are interested, a discrete and self-reliant framework incorporating all possible challenges faced especially by women entrepreneurs should be utilized for better in-depth evaluation of their performance and productivity. Further, the outcome can also be utilized by educational and training institutions, policymakers, researchers and other stakeholders to create a more conducive environment for female entrepreneurs in male-dominant entrepreneurial world.

산업화와 숲의 보호

The purpose of this article is to examine the collective identity reflected in German perceptions of forests around 1900, and to emphasize that interest in forests made them pioneers of the German environmental movement. Industrialization caused the destruction of German forests and consequently made Germans interested in forest protection. However, the motives were different for each class. If forests were important to landowners because of their economic value of increasing timber productivity, educated citizens' forests were a common asset with national identity. On the other hand, for the working class, forests played the role of teachers who consoled the reality of hard work and raised class consciousness. However, the efforts of Germans at the turn of the 20th century to protect forests, combined with such diverse motives, made them the first generation of the German environmental movement.

Բազմաթեմատիկությունը՝ որպես «Հաֆեզյան գազելի» առանձնահատկություն (մեկ գազելի վերլուծության փորձ)

The analysis of the famous first ghazal of Hafez’s Divan can serve as a model to understand the poetic features of the “Hafezian ghazal”. It both epitomizes the experience of the achievements of the early traditions of Persian verse and brings the ghazal to ideological and formal perfection. This ghazal lacks leitmotif; the bayts are in dynamics, each creating a new situation in the “poet-world” perception. Yet, with the independence of the bayts and the diversity of motives and themes, the Hafezian ghazal reflects the unity of Persian culture and its aesthetic consciousness. In the ghazal, Hafez skillfully balances the traditional and the new, the real and the mystical, the secular and the religious, the philosophical reflection and the moralistic maxim. In this we see the paradox of the genius of “Hafezian ghazals”.

Self-produced images, sexting, coercion and children’s rights

Converging sources of data would suggest that the volume of images and videos which involve minors is increasing and places a burden on law enforcement in terms of victim identification as well as prosecution. The terminology used in relation to these activities is problematic, as reference to self-produced sexual images would seem to result in victim-blaming. While there is an acknowledgement that there are diverse motives in the creating and sharing of this content, in many jurisdictions these images are seen as meeting the criteria for illegality and may result in prosecutions under child pornography legislation. This potentially criminalises (or at least problematises) the consensual creation and sharing of sexually explicit content between minors. Concerns regarding this sit alongside growing disquiet that this disregards children’s rights to sexual autonomy and decision making.

Water Conservation and Environmental Sustainability from a Community Clinical Psychological Perspective

This study was carried out as a part of the international cooperation project “Agua Futura” for the improvement of water resource management in rural communities of Central America. Given the problem of water shortage, especially in El Salvador, the aim was to detect some key factors affecting water conservation and environmental sustainability from a community clinical psychological perspective. Ninety rural inhabitants (mean age = 46.84, SD = 17.05) of El Salvador were given a structured interview exploring their symbolizations about water conservation. Data were analyzed through computer-assisted thematic analysis, then complemented by a qualitative analysis. Several themes were identified highlighting some differences regarding the emotional salience given to water resources as a primary good, the sense of responsibility for the sustainability of water resources at the community level, as well as diverse motivations and purposes affecting water use in households. The findings support the role of emotions, representations about others’ attitudes, and defenses against vulnerability and future uncertainty about water shortage. Additionally, the shift between an individualist or collectivist perspective underlying the decision to preserve water resources represents a significant matter to be taken into account for the understanding of effective pro-environmental behaviors in the long run.

Global out-of-home childcare and world culture

The focus of this article is the link between the modern world culture and national public policy commitments. Drawing on world society theory and using data for 193 countries between 1990 and 2020—1411 documents in total—we analyze the global pattern of policy commitments to out-of-home childcare deinstitutionalization. Deinstitutionalization refers to the policy of moving children from institutional residential care (e.g. orphanages) to family-based and family-like care in the community. Using the reports by state parties of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, we find that 85 percent of countries make at least some commitment to deinstitutionalization. At the same time, the data reveal significant variation in the interpretation of deinstitutionalization. We also find that similar policy commitments are underpinned by diverse motives that reflect different normative frames within the dominant world culture—human rights, scientization, and cost efficiency. This diversity does not fit the standard world society concepts of convergence, resistance, or decoupling. We argue that countries can selectively adopt specific aspects of world culture, with important policy implications.

New Silk Road: Pro Culturae

The article introduces a cultural research of the mega-project “One Belt — One Road”. It shows that the People’s Republic of China positions its global initiative to resurrect the Great Silk Road as an infrastructure project. Its realization is accompanied exclusively by political and economic discourse. According to the author, it is a great omission since the success or failure of the grandiose plans of the Celestial Empire depends not as much on the administrative and financial resources involved as on the sincere interest and involvement of people, on the interaction in terms of a much wider cultural background. The study of Russian information materials devoted to this project shows that the humanitarian component of the New Silk Road still remains at the level of declarations and formal thematic procedures. The project lacks publicity. The great history of the Silk Road is not updated. The cultural perspective of its revival is out of the discussion. No one dreams of enriching the cultural synthesis. Any anticipation of discoveries and prospects is not heard of. The project as a whole lies on the periphery of media attention and evaluation. But what would happen if globalization continues its development not from the Protestant ethics standpoint but the Confucian or Buddhist one? It might offer a good alternative that would change everything. This can change many things if accompanied by goodwill but we do not see discussions pertaining to the cultural transformations the project may lead to. One can observe rather the opposite. In the eighth year of the implementation of the initiative “One Belt — One Road”, a project hitting the scope of transformations and huge investments, the enthusiasm of its participants (politicians, administrators, and businessmen) is often tinged with doubts caused by discrepancies in understanding events and agreements. Ontological reasons for such a state of affairs constitute the cultural constellation (dependence upon a point of view and the divergence of the ontical “assembly” of the same phenomena). Through viewing specific examples, the author concludes that the misunderstanding of ideological landmarks, the incomprehensibility of values, the diversity of motivation and aspirations of participants make the confidential and interested cooperation problematic. Without actualization of discourse, without involving people in co-creation, without a broad and deep inclusion of the informally organized humanitarian sphere, where the problems of “human, too human” are solved, the project is unlikely to meet expectations in terms of its historical mission.

The Role of Women in the Family as Mompreneur According to Islamic View

The role of women in the family plays an important and diverse role. Not just as a wife or a mother to her children. Women play the role of financial regulators in the family.

Mompreneur comes from the word mom and entrepreneur. The purpose of mompreneur is a mother who is a business or entrepreneurial but still does not abandon her role as a housewife. With his role, is it good according to islamic view?
