Funded Activity Summary

The challenge to member based organisations and their responses. The project will explore participants' construction of the meaning of membership in member based organisations (MBOs), and will carry out comparative analysis of MBOs' responses to membership decline, to identify common challenges and innovative responses. This will enhance Industry Partners' knowledge of members' motivations, and disincentives to membership, and outline examples of good practice in other fields. The results will offer practical strategies for improved member recruitment and retention in MBOs, which continue to play a significant role in Australian economic and social life. The research will make significant contributions to existing bodies of social capital and voluntary association theory.
