Full textThis study examines the strategies four organizations from the voluntary sector uses to manage its cooperation with the State. The study takes its starting point in Staffan Johansson's theory of how imposing a non-profit sector with a homogenization pressure. By investigating various characteristics of the voluntary sector, such as ideology, economic conditions and the possibility of criticism, explores how organizations perceive their role in co-operation. The study shows that ideology and the economic environment plays key role in how organizations can structure themselves both as a organization and their work. In relation to the state, it seems important that resource dependence is not too one-sided for organizations to retain its character, ideology and control over their activities.

Full textAlthough past research demonstrates that a significant percentage of impulsive purchases come from sales promotions, no studies to date have examined the psychological mechanisms leading to this influence. To better understand the role of sales promotions in impulse buying situations, this dissertation aims to address this critical gap. To this end, first of all, we investigate cognitive-affective-behavioural processes underlying the influence of sales promotions on impulsive purchases. Further, we examine the moderating role of sales promotions category on these processes. Finally, we study how these processes differ among consumers with different personality traits. This dissertation adopts a cognitive-affective approach to impulse buying. It claims that cognitive deliberation also plays a mediating role between external stimuli and impulse buying behaviour, although affective reactions would have more influence. Emotions towards promotions are defined in terms of subjective feeling states experienced by consumers at a given point of time towards a promotion. Clusters of emotions with the same polarity are referred to as either positive or negative promotion affect. Promotion cognition is defined as the evaluative meaning of a sales promotion in terms of the benefits that can be derived out of it with the purchase of the promoted product. We investigate the mediating role of promotion affect and promotion cognitions in impulse buying process of promoted products. We also examine the relevance of the construct of promotion affect by studying whether promotion affect and promotion cognition play complementary or redundant roles in predicting consumer impulsive behaviour. Our results reveal that two separate coexisting mechanisms, affect transfer and cognitions, are the underlying foundations of impulse buying decisions of promoted products. Consistent with the Appraisal theory, cognitive evaluation of the benefits of a promotion prompts consumer affective responses. This promotion affect in turn mediates the influence of promotion cognitions on consumer impulse buying behaviour. Past research finds that consumer impulsive responses to promotions differ from a sales promotion category to other. However, the cause underlying this difference is still understudied in the literature. This dissertation aims to address this gap. It attributes this difference to the fact that psychological antecedents vary between purchases of products promoted with different types of promotions. Therefore, it examines the moderating role of sales promotion category on the process of impulse buying. The results confirm this role. They demonstrate that impulsive purchase of a product promoted by a non-monetary sales promotion is an all pleasure act; hedonic promotion cognitions and positive promotion affect that consumers experience have a significant influence on their impulsive purchase. On the other hand, in the case of monetary sales promotions, consumers make a cost-benefit evaluation where they also consider their utilitarian cognitions and negative affect that they may experience towards the sales promotion. The role of consumer personality traits is emphasized in both the impulse buying and behavioural pricing literature. To contribute to this understanding, this dissertation investigates the role of consumer personality traits in cognitive-affective triggers of impulsive promotional responses. Two consumer personality traits related to consumers’ attention and reaction to sales promotions and their propensity to make impulsive purchases are buying impulsiveness trait and deal-proneness trait. The results confirm that these traits influence affect and cognition that consumers experience towards promotions. They also moderate the process of impulse buying. Moreover, the results of our analysis about the relationship between buying impulsiveness and deal-proneness traits show that although both traits result in increased buying urges and impulsive purchases, they differ in focus and underlying affective and cognitive reactions. Impulsive consumers make impulsive purchases due to their strong reward seeking tendency, whereas the impulsive purchase of deal-prone consumers is a deliberative act of self-indulgence to gain from utilitarian benefits of promotional offers. This dissertation makes important contributions to the behavioural pricing and impulse buying literature. Our results demonstrate how sales promotions encourage consumers to purchase on impulse. We also confirm that promotion affect is a previously overlooked standalone predictor of consumer promotional responses. Moreover, sales promotion category and consumer personality traits are found to moderate cognitive-affective-behavioural triggers of impulsive promotional purchases. Finally, managerial implications are provided and it is discussed how to manipulate sales promotion characteristics in order to encourage impulsive purchases across consumers with different levels of buying impulsiveness and deal-proneness traits.

Full textA tese analisa a importância da mobilização de recursos internos em países em via de desenvolvimento, em particular através da mobilização de receitas fiscais. A análise principal é dedicada à compreensão das implicações que a utilização abusiva de preços de transferência, tendências de desvio artificial de lucros e práticas de erosão da base fiscal têm sobre a mobilização de receitas fiscais em países em via de desenvolvimento. Procurou-se avaliar potenciais implicações que reformas anti-BEPS teriam em Angola, sobre a mobilização das receitas fiscais no país, por meio da introdução de mecanismos eficazes para combater a utilização abusiva de preços de transferência e desencorajar práticas de erosão da base fiscal e de desvio artificial de lucros pelos grupos multinacionais a operar em Angola. Apurou-se na análise que o atual rácio de impostos/PIB em Angola, tendo uma vez atingido os níveis requeridos pelos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento do Milénio, entretanto tem vindo a diminuir nos últimos anos. Consequentemente, no caso de Angola, a particular importância das reformas anti-BEPS reside tanto no aumento das receitas fiscais, como em mudança gradual da estrutura da receita fiscal tornando-a mais sustentável, diversificando as fontes de receitas fiscais. Reduzindo a dependência em relação aos impostos das indústrias extrativas, por sua vez, será possível aumentar a parcela de receita fiscal não-petrolífera e alargar a base fiscal pela captação duma parte justa do valor criado por grupos multinacionais no território nacional, impedindo-os de desviar artificialmente os lucros de Angola para jurisdições com regimes fiscais mais favoráveis.
The dissertation analyzes the importance of internal resource mobilization in developing countries, in particular, through mobilization of tax revenues. The main analysis is dedicated to understanding the implications that transfer pricing abuse, profit shifting tendencies and base erosion practices have on the tax revenue mobilization in developing countries. An attempt was made to evaluate the potential implications that planned anti-BEPS reforms in Angola would have on the tax revenue mobilization through the introduction of effective mechanisms for combatting transfer pricing abuse and discouraging base erosion and profit shifting practices by the multinational groups operating in Angola. The analysis conducted herein concludes that the tax-to-GDP ratio in Angola, having achieved the levels that had been targeted by the millennium development goals, has, however, been declining over the past couple of years. Therefore, in the case of Angola, the particular importance of the anti-BEPS reforms lies in increasing the tax revenues , as well as gradually changing the structure of the tax revenue, making it more sustainable and diversifying sources of tax revenues. This way, dependency on the extractive industry taxes will be decreased, leading in turn, to an increased share of non-oil tax revenue items and broadening the tax base through capturing the fair share of value created by multinational groups in the national territory and preventing them from shifting the profits outside of Angola to the jurisdictions with more beneficial tax regimes.

Full textThe main objectives of this thesis are to explain the emergence of competitive dynamics characterized by a symbiosis between competition and market power and to elucidate how they can be apprehended through the lenses of competition theory. Chapter I investigates the evolution of forms of competition in the United States from 1840 to today. We show that while in some cases market power has translated into hindering competition (and vice versa), in others the two establish a symbiotic relation. Chapter II reviews competition theories and concludes that they do not account for the coexistence of two major stylized facts characteristic of the current hegemonic form of competition: long-run profit rate differentials and strong price competition. Chapter III develops a contribution to competition theory within and between global value chains (GVC). We show that uneven interdependence is the source of intra-GVC market power, which explains long-run profit rate differentials between firms belonging to the same GVC. Then we show how they can be compatible with strong price competition. Chapter IV studies platform capitalism with a focus on “trust-based algorithmic coordination” (TBAC) firms. Building on the case of the ride-hailing firm Uber, we argue that the TBAC firm conjugates vertical market power with strong price competition in a competitive dynamics in which there is a tendency towards monopolization

Full textEducational organizations are being scrutinized for developing accredited programs that provide students with gainful employment. As industry prepares to face the forecasted gaps of an aging workforce, educational organizations are also pressured to provide corporations with critical thinking problem solvers who can think analytically and actively participate in the global economy by producing change that will improve organizational performance. This study exposes an existing gap in literature regarding perception and its effect on adult online students' critical thinking skills as opposed to their perceived beliefs. This study's exploration is grounded on a self-perception and social-cognitive theoretical framework that supports knowledge and reality-based assumptions. This quantitative study assumes we are all works in progress; therefore, it is possible to direct learning outcomes and drive economic change with strategies that build on life's experiences for valuable contributions to society. By employing a non-experimental quantitative correlational design, this study found a cause and effect relationship between adult online students' gender and adult online students' critical thinking skills.

Full textDespite of being the first grammarian who have come to us, author of three almost complete grammatical books, for long time Marius Plotius Sacerdos, teacher in Rome in the end of third century AD, has been neglected. At present, the study of the complete manuscript tradition, including for the first time the contribution of humanistic copies, has made it possible to overcome some defects of Keil’s edition and to provide a new critical edition of the first two Sacerdos’ books and of the Catholica Probi, which are a well-known stand-alone version of the second book. As is customary, the introduction gives the information about life of the author and, by means of analysis of the structure of the text, tries to show this work as the first attempt to produce a systematic school handbook. The extensive commentary wants to be an exhaustive guide for the texts, which treats the implications of grammatical doctrine, the textual problems, and the connections with other grammarians and the ancient exegetical tradition

Full textThe subject of this work was a detailed study of superconducting CuxTiSe2. Samples with various copper content x, from underdoped to overdoped regions of the phase diagram, were investigated by local Hall probe magnetometry. At first, we constructed the magnetic field profiles in the samples to determine when the first vortices penetrate into the sample. The observed dome-like shape of the profiles indicated that pinning is very small and that the vortex penetration is primarily governed by geometrical barriers, hence enabling us to determine the lower critical field, Hc1. A good agreement between theory and the Hc1(T) data was obtained by using a model with two energy gaps, even though the origin of the smaller energy gap in CuxTiSe2 cannot be related to its electronic structure. Combining those measurements with heat capacity measurements previously performed on these samples, we obtained a non trivial condensation energy. Moreover, measurements performed for various orientations of the magnetic field revealed the presence of a lock-in effect in CuxTiSe2, when superconducting vortices are trapped along a layered structure even for tilted magnetic fields. The orientation of the vortices was experimentally determined and could be well described by a model considering the presence of an additional layered structure in which superconductivity is at least partially suppressed. The lock-in effect was analysed in three different samples and we have shown that the strength of the lock-in is independent of the copper doping, even though this effect can be masked by strong demagnetisation effects in very thin samples. The strength of this lock-in effect indicates that the superconductivity is strongly suppressed on certain layered structure. The nature of this "extrinsic" pinning structure is still unknown but might be related to the recent observation of charge density waves domain walls which may induce strong variations of the superconducting order parameter

Surgindo de uma necessidade crítica, estas organizações operam num contexto cada vez mais turbulento, o que tornou indispensável o foco na sustentabilidade organizacional, tanto a nível estratégico como operacional. A principal dificuldade de construir uma organização sustentável, é de que não abale a missão social para a qual foi concebida. A Cozinha com Alma, objeto desde Estudo de Caso, é uma Instituição Particular de Solidariedade Social, cuja missão é apoiar e capacitar famílias que vivem períodos de fragilidade financeira, através do acesso a uma alimentação completa e equilibrada, e de um programa de capacitação e acompanhamento. Posto isto, importa compreender qual a estratégia a adotar por uma organização da Economia Social no apoio a famílias com dificuldades financeiras temporárias. Posteriormente, apurar se o projeto social está em condições de se redimensionar, de que formas, e se existe atualmente uma envolvente propícia para que o possa fazer. No âmbito da pesquisa realizada, a Qualidade é uma característica manifesta em todos os fatores que compõem esta iniciativa, imprescindível para que possa concorrer com as restantes empresas de take-away, sociais ou não, e, para uma maior eficácia da sua missão, a prática estratégias de financiamento e de redução de custos, enumeradas também ao longo do estudo.
Non-Profit Sector Entities contribute to the third sector of the economy through the creation of social value. Emerging from a critical need, these organizations operate in an increasingly turbulent context, which has made it indispensable to focus on organizational sustainability, both at the strategic and operational levels. The main difficulty in building a sustainable organization is that it does not undermine the social mission for which it was conceived. Cozinha com Alma, the object of this Case Study, is a Private Institution of Social Solidarity, whose mission is to support and train families living in periods of financial fragility, through access to a complete and balanced diet, and a program of training and monitoring. That said, it is important to understand the strategy to be adopted by a Social Economy organization in supporting families with temporary financial difficulties. Subsequently, it is necessary to find out whether the social project is able to resize, in what ways, and whether there is currently a suitable environment in which to do so. Within the scope of the research carried out, Quality is a characteristic manifested in all the factors that make up this initiative, indispensable for it to compete with the other take-away companies, social or not, and, for a greater effectiveness of its mission, the practical strategies of financing and cost reduction, also listed throughout the study.

Full textThe dramaturgic notion of crisis recurrently appears in aesthetic treatises, which attests its importance in the frame of theatre theory. Nevertheless, a definition of this notion is still missing : crisis is not even mentionned in Aristotle's Poetics, in the Discourses on tragedy by Corneille, or in Hegel's Lectures on Aesthetics. Theatrical crisis therefore needs to be thoroughly examined and defined. From the 19th century, French neoclassical tragedy has been read as a theatre of crisis : attention was then drawn to the way the disorders depicted on stage – on intimate as well as political level – put into question a classical conception of a world based on order and harmony. From this startpoint, theoricians resolutely use the notion of crisis to think this undermining questioning of the world. However, this definition of crisis is not relevant to the 18th century drame bourgeois, in which crisis is only used as a dramatic plot device : in line with the tableau in his Aesthetics, Diderot calls for a theatre of critical situations, which do not however threaten a bourgeois conception of the world. The gap between these two definitions of theatrical crisis has left a space for invention in the 20th and 21th centuries : dramatists have used crisis in various ways to explain the world, or simply explore it, to decifer it, or simply reflect upon it. Bertold Brecht, Peter Weiss and Edward Bond have shaped crisis as a process of involvement of the audience : they aim to shake spectators to make them consider real life with new eyes, and to ask themselves how they can transform it. On the opposite, Ödön von Horvath, Michel Vinaver and Martin Crimp have used crisis as a contextual device : they invent a situation which allows them to explore in a totally new way how man behaves towards himself, towards the others, and towards the world, that is, to explore the modern « Human Condition » according to the words of Hannah Arendt. The study of these two different poetics of crisis is therefore decisive, inasmuch as they have given birth to two different dramatic traditions which structure the whole history of Western theatre : on the one hand, the critical theatre, on the other, the clinical theatre

Full textIn this thesis, we focused on the one hand on the description of the lack of compactness of the critical Sobolev embedding into different classes of Orlicz spaces, and on the other hand on the study of the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation with exponential nonlinearity. This work is divided into three parts. The aim of the first part is to characterize the lack of compactness of the Sobolev embedding of $H^2_{rad}(R^4)$ into the Orlicz space $mathcal{L}(R^4)$.The aim of the second part is twofold: firstly, we describe the lack of compactness of the Sobolev embedding of $H^1(R^2)$ into different classes of Orlicz spaces, secondly we investigate a family of nonlinear Klein-Gordon equations with exponential nonlinearity. This study includes both the global existence problem, the asymptotic completeness and the qualitative study for the associated Cauchy problem. The third part is dedicated to the analysis of the solutions to the 2D Klein-Gordon equation associated to a sequence of bounded Cauchy data in $H^1_{rad}(R^2)times L^2_{rad}(R^2)$. Based on the profile decompositions, this analysis was conducted in the framework of Orlicz norm

Full textIn this thesis we have addressed some open questions on the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of closed one-dimensional quantum systems. In recent years, advances in experimental techniques have revitalized the theoretical research in condensed matter physics and quantum optics. We have treated three different subjects using both numerical and analytical techniques. As far as the numerical techniques are concerned, we have used essentially exact diagonalization methods, the adaptive time-dependent density-matrix renormalization-group algorithm (t-DMRG) and the Lanczos algorithm. At first, we studied the adiabatic quantum dynamics of a quantum system close to a critical point. We have demonstrated that the presence of a confining potential strongly affects the scaling properties of the dynamical observables near the quantum critical point. The mean excitation density and the energy excess, after the crossing of the critical point, follow an algebraic law as a function of the sweeping rate with an exponent that depends on the space-time properties of the potential. After that, we have studied the behavior of ultra-cold bosons in a tilted optical lattice. Starting with the Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian, in the limit of Hard-Core bosons, we have developed a hydrodynamic theory that exactly reproduces the temporal evolution of some of the observables of the system. In particular, it was observed that part of the boson density remains trapped, and oscillates with a frequency that depends on the slope of the potential, whereas the remaining packet part is expelled out of the ramp. We have also analyzed the dynamics of the Bose-Hubbard model using the tDMRG algorithm and the Lanczos algorithm. In this way we have highlighted the role of the non-integrability of the model on its dynamical behavior. Finally, we have addressed the issue of thermalization in an extended quantum system. Starting from quite general considerations, we have introduced the notion of out-of-equilibrium temperature profile in a chain of Hard-Core bosons. We have analyzed the dynamics of the temperature profile and especially its scaling properties

Full textCom o emergir do paradigma Industria 4.0 (Quarta revolução industrial), os Sistemas de Controle e Automação Industrial estão-se a tornar em sistemas altamente distribuídos, tornando-se cada vez mais susceptíveis a ciberataques, particularmente quando comparados com as gerações anteriores de Sistemas de Controlo Industrial. Para lidar com a crescente complexidade e dimensão de tais infraestruturas, é necessário o uso de um conjunto diversificado de sondas de segurança/componentes.No entanto, a integração de sondas de segurança novas e existentesnas plataformas utilizadas para deteção de anomalias e intrusões não é tarefa fácil. Isto deve-se principalmente à falta de protocolos de comunicação standard/comuns e APIs, assim como modelos de dados adequados (para configuração e comunicação/transporte dos dados). Isto é decisivo para simplificar e optimizar o processo de configuração e monitorização, mas também o aprovisionamento e registo desses mecanismos, usados por agentes tão especializados.Tendo isto em conta, esta tese vai-se focar no desenvolvimento de uma camada de ligação/envoltória e, fornecendo os meios para integrar agentes/sondas de segurança numa plataforma de Sistema de Detecção de Anomalias e Intrusões. Esta camada vai fornecer os adaptadores genéricos necessários para implementar recursos de gestão e capacidades de comunicação homogéneas para a integração de agentes/sondas de segurança, bem como os componentes necessários do servidor .
With the emergence of the Industry 4.0 paradigm, Industrial Automation and Control Systems are becoming highly distributed, making them increasingly prone to cyber-attacks, particularly when compared with previous Industrial Control System generations. To cope with the increased complexity and dimension of such infrastructures, it is necessary to use a diversified set of security probes/components.However, the integration of new and already existing security probes into existing Intrusion and Anomaly Detection System platforms is no easy task. This is mostly due to the lack of common/standard communication protocols and APIs, as well as suitable data models (for configuration and eventing). This is crucial to simplify and streamline the configuration and monitoring processes but also the provisioning and registration of those mechanisms, used for such specialised agents.With this in mind, this thesis will focus on developing a coupling layer, providing the means to integrate agents/probes in an Intrusion and Anomaly Detection System platform. This layer will provide the necessary generic adaptors to implement homogeneous management and event capabilities for agent/probe integration, as well as the required server-side components .

In the spirit of volunteering and service, non-profit organizations have been ac-tively involved in many activities on social welfare and charity. Their contributions have gradually been recognized by the society. Because of the low economic climate and global recession, non-profit organizations have experienced financial hardships and encountered difficulties in collection of contributions from industries and individuals. The purpose of this research is to identify critical factors that contribute to the sus-tainable operation of a non-profit organization. The conceptual framework of the re-search is derived based upon findings of previous studies found from literatures and from conjunction with the four perspectives of the balance score card. The process of the balance score card effectively integrates the vision and goal of the organization and customer requirements into organization’s daily operation and successfully monitors the implementation of strategies of the organization. The process also shifts the focus on the performance assessing of an organization from a financial perspective to a strategy per-spective and improves efficiency of the organization. Consequently, the organization will offer more services to the society and build a solid foundation for a permanent op-eration. This research included all non-profit foundations that provide scholarships and fi-nancial aids to students in Chang Hua County. A questionnaire was distributed to collect information of each organization. A total of 30 questionnaires were distributed and 22 questionnaires were completed. The completion rate is 73.3%. Subjects’ responses were based on their subjective judgment and professional knowledge. The collected informa-tion was logically checked with bivariate comparisons and was analyzed with multi-variate statistical models. All analyses were conducted by statistical software. The results show that high capability of contribution collection, sufficient number of full-time staff, availability of volunteer training programs, and appropriate applica-tion criteria corresponding to needs of beneficiaries are the critical factors for the sus-tainable operation of a non-profit organization.

This paper deals with CSR and Sustainability indexes and the comparison between these, all developed by profit institutions. The indexes covered are Walmart’s Sustainability Index and Nike’s Considered Index, Calvert Sustainable Index, Dow Jones Sustainability Index and MSCI KLD 400 Social Index. In order see the differences between these indexes, their screening process is explained, as well as a critical view of their approach., in order to compare the indexes with each other. There is a clear difference between the fund indexes approach and the two retailers, since the funds are screening companies, while the retailers are screening products and suppliers. Also their method is different, like, Walmart asked their suppliers to answer questionnaires, while Nike uses their own designers to score their products, and Calvert is using an expert panel to screen. It is over all positive that companies are dealing with issues like CSR and sustainability, since it triggers competition and puts issues in the spotlight. However, more transparency is needed, as well as industry standards, so that comparisons are possible between different company products, both Nike and Walmart has these steps on a later agenda. Meanwhile, the fund indexes keep on screening companies, in a more or less similar manner. Finally, the paper concludes that observations from more objective organisations are needed and also that if an index is going to be an industry standard, its more beneficial if many actors are included in the development process.

Research shows that there are key factors contributing to “success” that are common across industries. This study investigated the key to success of Non-Profit Organizations (NPO) and their developments through in-depth interviews with NPO leaders. These findings can serve as developmental key learnings for other, resource-limited NPO’s, allowing them to more effectively harness available resources, thus reducing wastage due to trial and error. This research paper endeavors to organize these Critical Success Factors into easily accessible best-of-practice case studies for up-and-coming NPO’s. For the purposes of this study, the author selected five Non-Profit Women’s Associations with a least ten years of successful operations. Research methodology was depth interviews combined with Critical Incident Technique (CIT). Three main constructs were used in this process including: The mission of NPOs, NPO participants and NPO operations. This study identifies and organizes “Critical Success Factors” that all successful Non-Profit Organizations should own. The Critical Success Factors of A Successful NPO Are: 1.Well defined missions. 2.Strong Personnel/Membership Structure: a.Members of the organization will have: i.self-motivated; identification to organization missions ii.A high degree of enthusiasm iii.The ability to execute the organization directives b.A successful NPO will have Leadership with the following characteristics/skill sets: i.The spiritual leader of an NPO with an unchanging sense of mission, a strong and insight. ii.The ability to continually learn and apply those learnings to the organization. iii.A mutually supporting team that divides work up equally. 3.Strong Operations: a.Organization culture: Equal, open, focused on learning and vigorous. b.Externally it will be able to: i.Clearly articulate organizational goals and objectives ii.Create sufficient exposure to create positive awareness and opinion within society c.Internally it will be able to: i.Create “esprit-de-corps” within organization ii.Empower stake-holders to leverage their strengths d.Continual review of social changes and the adjustment of old services or the introduction of new services to meet social needs. e.Creative and flexible strategies and the ability to integrate various resources to exert influence. A successful NPO needs to accomplish the initial Mission. In order to achieve this, it is recommended that the NPO leadership continually review whether or not the organization is achieving the objectives for which it was established and conduct self-evaluation and self-improvement. The NPO also needs to be in tune with developments and trends in the society it is operating in. By making the information gleaned open and available to all members of the organization, the leadership can empower its members and contribute to a common sense of purpose, helping it achieve the maximum efficiencies and success.

The Youth Volunteer Center of the National Youth Commission is the integrated institution providing assistance to non-profit organizations. It is also the base for developing volunteer service strategies. Since it stands as the epitome and flagship of volunteer service groups, services offered not only manifests the efficiency of the third sector, but serves as the index of performance of non-profit organization. Degree of customer satisfaction acts as the optimal goal achievement indicator of the youth volunteer center, therefore this paper intends to derive the customer satisfaction and its critical success factors (CSF) of the youth volunteer center. The paper uses the SERVQUAL assessment chart, a service quality conceptual model proposed by PZB, as the theoretical basis and research framework of this paper. We conducted an empirical questionnaire survey on the Youth Volunteer Center of the National Youth Commission and hopefully to make the conclusions as follow: (A) Customer Satisfaction Factors of the Youth Volunteer Center Empirical analysis results proved that the services provided by the center contained the five service qualities (reliable, stimulating, capable, concrete, and responsive); including the customer satisfaction service factors covered in the 25 questions. The empirical results indicated that the services offered in Youth Volunteer Center were capable of providing customer satisfaction. (B) Effects of Demographic Changes on Service Satisfaction Empirical analysis results discovered that female university students accounted for majority of the Youth Volunteer Center customers, and most of them were nonsectarian and single. The participants were mostly first-time participants who have heard of the center through referrals from friends and families. However, recommendation inclination was more significant among male, Taoist customers. Actual service perception is also more significant in university students. The findings indicated that the customer base possessing the foregoing background data form the backbone customer source of the Youth Volunteer Center. They determined the customer satisfaction rating of the Youth Volunteer Center. The findings also reflected that the trend of volunteer work inclination among youths in the present campus, as well as the importance of the youth volunteer center’s contribution into the education of its customer base. (C) Customer Satisfaction Critical Success Factors (CSF) of the Youth Volunteer Center The empirical analysis finds three core critical success factors (CSF)— reliable, stimulating, and capable. The 12 questions that obtained these three core CSFs showed that the Youth Volunteer Center staff are the soul factor that make the customers satisfied with the center’s services. Their dedication, concern, professionalism, and proper devotion combined with the center-designed programs and scheduled activities and classes won the customers’ trust, stimulated them, and optimized social service volunteerism. It is a clear indication that the Youth Volunteer Center had fully realized the modern marketing spirit of “customer orientation” in its personnel training. The derivation of the Youth Volunteer Center customer satisfaction CSF signified a strong correlation between the agendas and goal achievement capacity of the center; hence the center should make sure that it would be able to maintain its accomplishments and successfully execute its key agenda strategies. The Youth Volunteer Center of the National Youth Commission covers 18 counties and cities and centers all cater to the youth market. This means that the center plays a vital role in youth education and acts as a bridge between the campus and society. The empirical findings of this paper proves the service satisfaction CSF of the center, as manifested by its customers. Data obtained could serve as a key reference for future youth customer market strategy planning studies.
