Abstract:

Introduction. Volunteering is an effective tool for the development of society and a powerful personal development resource. However, ignoring the value content of volunteering in the mass organisation of volunteer youth associations reduces its ability to achieve social, economic, cultural and other altruistic goals. The formal approach to volunteering fails to meet either the public interest or the needs and expectations of young people. Participation in volunteering under the influence of external factors in case of unformed or controversial intrinsic motivation for this activity causes dis

Volunteering activities are growing and gaining public attention, and this noble effort is the best platform for breaking the social problem. The objective of the study is to examine the determinants of voluntary intention in welfare nonprofit organisations. These determinants include values, understanding, enhancement, career, social, and protection. Moreover, the second objective is to examine the moderating effect of altruism. Altruistic people care and want to help even if there is no profit offered or no hope of getting anything back. This study used a quantitative survey approach involvi

Although the literature on volunteering and wellbeing among older adults is extensive, it tends to focus on this relationship within spaces of formal volunteering, such as non-profit organisations.

Cultural organisations often serve as guardians of cultural heritage and, as such, cultural sustainability depends on their ongoing vitality. Many organisations in the cultural sector are, however, presently experiencing intense financial pressures. With their traditional sources of funding being progressively cut off, such organisations are focusing increasingly on monetary donations and the volunteering of time on the part of the general public to help plug the financial gap. Promoting and managing such pro-social behaviours can, however, be costly activities in themselves, so it is critical

Organisational behaviour theories aim to improve employees' efficiency and consistent productivity. This study introduced intrinsic motivation of individual volunteering intentions based on trigger and religion, whereas extrinsic motivation consists of instrumental and social intention modes. The performance of an individual depends upon the inner energetic force, which will incorporate intention, direction and intensity of work. Organizations are involved with volunteer work that requires motivation to participate and sustain in auxiliary activities. Individuals with volunteer motivation have

Abstract:

Introduction. In modern society, there is a growing demand for the spread of prosocial practices, among which the leading role is given to the volunteer movement. In this regard, the actual pedagogical task is the education of a prosocial person - a member of the public, whose activity is focused on the gratuitous societal service and is resulted from altruistic motives. Students are potential members, who can be involved in such activities. Student community is considered as a special social group, which is characterised by the highest degree of civic activity, the desire for self-organisatio

Abstract:

Volunteering as an activity fulfils the general task of promoting social integration and cohesion at community scale (local, territorial, national, and European). It takes place via nonformal activities, with numerous openings towards the informal. From the perspective of lifelong learning, volunteering explores optimally, in specific various and diversified situations, the experience of those involved as participants and beneficiaries. In the field of education volunteering evolves within the structure of postmodern (contemporary) educational systems. The volunteers – pup

AbstractThis paper considers the situation of the English voluntary sector in relation to austerity-driven social policies. Existing characterisations are outlined and it is argued that the quantitative evidence used to represent the situation of these organisations to date has been partial because it relies too narrowly on financial resource input measures. We argue that the situation of these organisations needs to be conceptualised in a more holistic way and, to initiate a move in this direction, we identify and explicate two relevant dimensions: the perceived capacity of organisations to r

In rural Nepal, PHC is mostly delivered by female CHWs, locally known as Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHVs), but little is known about them. This paper explores experiential factors influencing FCHVs’ motivations, including how motivation intersects with women’s livelihoods and consider what this means for achieving PHC in Nepal and globally.

Abstract:

This article contributes to the sociology of care-relational justice by identifying, conceptualising and unpacking ‘imposed volunteering’ as a mechanism that shapes societal caring arrangements. Contemporary societies allocate care work disproportionately to women, ethnic minorities and working-class citizens, which exacerbates social inequalities. Distribution of caring responsibilities is a political question but often not recognised as such, because it is deeply immersed in everyday routines. Our study uses the context of the COVID-19 pandemic to dissect the distribution mechanisms that bec
