Abstract:
An analysis of the 1988 Dallas Jewish community population study finds that neither demographic nor socioeconomic variables have a direct impact on the decision to volunteer time to Jewish causes and organizations. Rather, being invited to give their time is the strongest predictor of whether individuals will volunteer. In addition, individuals' attitudes toward volunteering and the characteristics of Jewish organizations are strong predictors of volunteerism.
