Abstract
The results of the qualitative interviews indicate that the four logics that can shape SLBs’ cooperation interest are evident empirically. To verify quantitatively whether SLBs treat religious and non-confessional organizations and experienced and inexperienced organization differently in different contexts and to measure the prevalence of the developed logics, this study also included a field experiment with vignettes (for an illustration of the benefits of this method, see Sommer Harrits, 2019). Such a field experiment can neutralize the effect of social desirability that might skew the findings of interviews (Skinner, 2012).
