Researchers at the Cheriton School of Computer Science have found that individuals may be more motivated to do work for their favourite charity than for money.
In a study reviewing the efficacy of a new online work-sharing platform designed to put money into the hands of charities, the researchers discovered that people providing their skills and labour toward a specific task tended to do a better job if they knew their favourite charity rather than themselves would be paid for it.
