Abstract

Abstract Purpose – This study aims to examine the factors that affect individuals’ intention of participating in donation crowdfunding in the context of Oman.

The data is collected by online survey and analyses by using the partial least squares technique. Findings – The results illustrate that sense of self-worth, perceived donor effectiveness and moral obligation positively affect donation intention (DI) towards crowdfunding projects. Furthermore, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control positively impact individuals’ intention to contribute to donation crowdfunding. Originality/value – The results contribute to the literature on donation crowdfunding by identifying the driving forces of individuals’ DI to crowdfunding projects in Oman.
