A Conceptual Framework on the Relationship between Nation Brand Perception and Donation Behaviour

Over the past two decades, the topic of nation brands has attracted the interest of academics, researchers, and policy markers alike. Governments in particular have used the concept of nation brands to attract support from international audiences. This study developed a conceptual framework of donation behaviour with nation brand perceptions as a mediating variable between donation motives and donation behaviour. The framework proposes that people‘s perception of a nation‘s brand will have significant implications on the willingness and extent of contribution to a charitable cause associated with the nation.
