Show moreVoluntary and professional associations as unique financial entities are continually concerned with producing income for which they have only a service of highly intangible nature to offer in return. Many studies have sought to .identify -those factors other than financial capability which motivate members of these associations to join, belong and participate. This study sought to determine the relationship of the size of a business, its profitability, or the degree of concentration to the financial support given the industry associations. The procedure involved a review of the relevant literature, and primary research involving a national federation of fifty state trucking associations in the United States. Results of the study indicate members of associations join, belong and contribute financial support to their associations for reasons in addition to demonstrated financial capability.

USE OF IMAGE BY TRADE AND PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS, AND ITS EFFECT ON MEMBERSHIP RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION
Title
THE USE OF IMAGE BY TRADE AND PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS, AND ITS EFFECT ON MEMBERSHIP RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION.
Creator
SHAW, JOHN SCRANTON, II., Florida Atlantic University, Hersker, Barry J.
Abstract/Description
Every trade or professional association projects an image, which has some proportionate ratio of status orientation (slickness or professionalism) and service orientation (basic technical and service programs). Similarly, members or potential members seek specific values in that association, values seen as desirable. The effective match of the image projected by the association and the values sought (or, image perceived as desirable) by members and potential members will correspond to the...
Show moreEvery trade or professional association projects an image, which has some proportionate ratio of status orientation (slickness or professionalism) and service orientation (basic technical and service programs). Similarly, members or potential members seek specific values in that association, values seen as desirable. The effective match of the image projected by the association and the values sought (or, image perceived as desirable) by members and potential members will correspond to the relative success of the association in its membership recruitment and retention. This is studied by formulating the above as a hypothesis and testing it through correlation analysis. Data was generated by a survey of chief staff executives of 500 trade and professional associations.

Creator
Farrar, Charles L., Florida Atlantic University, Zimmerer, Thomas W.
Abstract/Description
The three specific objectives of this study were to develop a clearer understanding of the image which business has on the college campus, to develop insights into the attitudes of business students and a comparison of students in the business college with members of Delta Sigma Pi, a professional fraternity for male students enrolled in business. In order to base the response evaluations on a reasonably homogeneous group of subjects, only those colleges with chapters of the fraternity were...
Show moreThe three specific objectives of this study were to develop a clearer understanding of the image which business has on the college campus, to develop insights into the attitudes of business students and a comparison of students in the business college with members of Delta Sigma Pi, a professional fraternity for male students enrolled in business. In order to base the response evaluations on a reasonably homogeneous group of subjects, only those colleges with chapters of the fraternity were considered. The research data was collected during the fall of 1972 from 1,000 questionnaires mailed to 13 selected colleges . Based on the comparative data obtained, it is possible to accept the major hypothesis that students in professional fraternal organizations are significantly different in their attitudes and personal characteristics than are students who do not belong to these organizations.

APPLICABILITY OF PPBS AS A MANAGEMENT TOOL IN A SELECTED TRADE ASSOCIATION.
Creator
SIEGFRIED, CLARENCE A. JR., Florida Atlantic University, Zimmerer, Thomas W.
Abstract/Description
The purpose of the study was to determine if a Planning Programming Budgeting System (PPBS) can be an effective tool in financial planning and management of a selected association, the American Rental Association, Inc. This was done by developing an understanding of what PPBS is and of how it has been applied in the Federal, state and local governments as well as in private industry. From what was learned in this review of PPBS, the characteristics and practices of PPBS seem most appropriate...
Show moreThe purpose of the study was to determine if a Planning Programming Budgeting System (PPBS) can be an effective tool in financial planning and management of a selected association, the American Rental Association, Inc. This was done by developing an understanding of what PPBS is and of how it has been applied in the Federal, state and local governments as well as in private industry. From what was learned in this review of PPBS, the characteristics and practices of PPBS seem most appropriate to the management needs of the American Rental Association, Inc., and it could be an effective management tool in other associations. This was shown by abstracting the key features from the system developed for the American Rental Association, Inc., and examining their applicability in other selected associations. The conclusion emerged that other associations can effectively use PPBS as an improved management tool.
