Examining Student Identification with the Alumni Organization at a 4-Year Commuter Campus
Newbold, John J.; Mehta, Sanjay S.; Forbus, Patricia R.
Contemporary Issues in Education Research, v3 n4 p47-54 Apr 2010
Past research has identified several institutional and individual antecedents that lead to greater intent to support an organization. This paper takes an organizational identification approach in developing an Alumni Relationship Model (ARM) that can be used by universities to generate greater support for their Alumni services activities. This paper shows that by going beyond traditional organizational identification models and by introducing new variables, it is possible to broaden and enrich both practice and theory of organizational identification within a university setting.
