Franklin Gallegos, Guido Mantilla
In non-profit organizations where the main source of personnel for their organizational activities is through volunteering, it is important to have an adequate strategic Human Resources management, since the provision of their services, social aids and activities organized in a network, In their great majority depend on the quality and confidence that the volunteers have when committing themselves to the community work. The purpose of this study is to investigate in a laboratory environment using a novel game called centipede in the construction of confidence in several stages, among volunteers who do not know each other, where we investigate the effect of participation in trust, and the evolution of it. This paper summarizes how game theory can be applied to humanitarian research, being a tool for modeling multiple systems in which decision makers act and their individual decisions affect those of the system. In order to achieve this, the centipede game theory has been applied to a group of volunteers. The results show that the subjects present a high degree of confidence behavior, However not all are worthy of it. Players are more reliable in the post-initial stages. Trust is established as an evolutionary process and increases as the game grows in size as well. The present investigation is limited to a case study of a non-profit organization in Ecuador, so the results are not generalizable.
