Abstract

Voluntary and professional associations as unique financial entities are continually concerned with producing income for which they have only a service of highly intangible nature to offer in return. Many studies have sought to .identify -those factors other than financial capability which motivate members of these associations to join, belong and participate. This study sought to determine the relationship of the size of a business, its profitability, or the degree of concentration to the financial support given the industry associations. The procedure involved a review of the relevant literature, and primary research involving a national federation of fifty state trucking associations in the United States. Results of the study indicate members of associations join, belong and contribute financial support to their associations for reasons in addition to demonstrated financial capability.
