Paid and unpaid labor in nonprofit organizations: Does the substitution effect exist?Bittschi, Benjamin, Pennerstorfer, Astrid, Schneider, Ulrike 12 1900 (has links) (PDF)
In nonprofit organizations (NPOs) volunteers often work alongside paid workers. Such
a coproduction setting can lead to tension between the two worker groups. This paper
examines for the first time if and how volunteers in
uence the separation of paid employees,
and thus it contributes to the debate over whether volunteers can substitute paid workers.
Using Austrian data on an organizational level we find a significant impact of volunteers
on the separations of paid workers in NPOs facing increased competition. These findings
support the assumption that a partial substitution effect exists between paid workers and
volunteers.
