我们研究了日本公共部门工作人员在自然灾害等紧急情况下的慈善捐赠情况。我们使用了 2011 年 3 月东日本大地震前后的汇总数据，两年内总共进行了约 3,400 次观测。我们的实证分析发现，与其他工作人员类似，公共部门工作人员在灾后紧急时期响应灾害相关原因的投票率高于平时；然而，他们的捐款金额较低。这种对比让人怀疑公共部门工作人员本质上总是比其他工作人员更亲社会的假设。在我们的案例研究中，对未来可能减少可支配收入以资助灾后重建的预期和不确定性可能促使他们采取保守的亲社会反应。
We examined charitable giving in Japanese public sector workers during an emergency, such as a natural disaster. We used pooled data from before and after the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011, which amounted to approximately 3,400 observations over two years. Our empirical analysis found that, similar to other workers, public sector workers’ turnout in response to disaster‐related causes was higher during the post‐disaster emergency period than in ordinary times; however, their contribution amounts were lower. This contrast casts doubt on the assumption that public sector workers are always inherently more prosocial than other workers. In our case study, anticipation of and uncertainty about the possible future reduction of their disposable income to finance post‐disaster reconstruction may have prompted their conservative prosocial response.
