Abstract
Motivation is a central concept for psychology, sociology, as well as for the economy. Many researchers associate the issue of motivation with the act of giving money and they try to interpret it in the connection with the assumptions of neoclassical economics. The basic aim is to find answer not only on the theoretical question (if it is possible to explain charitable giving at the hand of homo oeconomicus), but on the practical question as well (how to increase the share of NGO funding through private sources). This article presents key results of research aimed at identifying the factors influencing individual giving in the Czech Republic to NGO’s and at analyzing them in their mutual relations. Results are restricted to the issue of internal variables, called motives. Manners how we are thinking, what we feel, at so on, are an integral part of the variables that influence our decision about giving. The sources of various motives are formed by our political leanings, religious persuasion, social activities and values. The author based on theoretical economic model identifies three basic motives (altruism, egoism, investment) behind the decision of giving, whose resources/ incentives subsequently are empirically tested.
