Abstract:

This survey evaluated the influences of motivational functions, gender, age, and religiosity on two facets of volunteerism in Singapore. The two facets evaluated were length of service and fulfillment of duty commitments. One hundred and twenty-eight volunteers (Mage = 44.9 years; SD = 11.7 years; age range: 24–71 years) from a Singapore volunteer welfare organisation filled out 3 questionnaires: the Volunteer Functions Inventory (VFI; Clary et al., 1998), a questionnaire on facets of volunteerism, and a questionnaire on demographic data.

Abstract:

Volunteerism constitutes a significant economic contribution, especially within faith-based organizations, yet the motivations behind volunteer engagement remain complex. While existing research primarily employs quantitative methodologies, this qualitative descriptive study delves into the subjective perceptions of volunteers to expound upon the influence of faith-based motivational functions on their motivation to volunteer. Grounded in the Volunteer Functions Inventory (VFI) model, this research investigates how volunteers at a non-denominational Christian church in Phoenix, AZ, articulate

The Volunteer Functions Inventory (VFI) is an instrument widely used to assess volunteers’ motivation based on the Functionalist Model of Omoto and Snyder. It assesses six factors that reflect several motivational functions. The VFI has been translated into various languages and validated in different cultural contexts, but some studies have reported different factor structures (e.g., five or four factors). In the Portuguese context, previous studies have also shown inconsistent results. The aim of this study was to adapt and validate the VFI for Portuguese volunteers, testing several alternat

We investigated the effect of ciprofloxacin, rifampicine and doxycycline on myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in allergic asthma patients and healthy volunteers. Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) were isolated with ficoll-hypaque gradient centrifugation method. MPO activity was assayed with modified o-dianisidine, GSH by Ellman's and MDA levels by Beuge's method. PMN functions and MDA levels of patients significantly decreased when compared with healthy volunteers. Ciprofloxacin significantly increased PMN functions, MPO activity and MDA level

A survey was conducted to examine the frequency, acceptability, and functions of humor between hospice palliative care volunteers and their patients, from the volunteers’ perspective. Thirty-two volunteers completed the survey, which was developed for this study. The results revealed that most patients and volunteers initiated humor either “often” or “sometimes” in their interactions. Over half of the volunteers considered humor to be either “very important” or “extremely important” in their interactions with patients (42% and 13%, respectively), with the patient being the determining factor a

EME variations were determined by the H+ ions activity (potentiometer), water pH and redox potential (ion meter). Diurnal fluctuations of autonomic regulation of the heart rate (HRV) were monitored to reveal possible interconnected biotrophic effects. From our observations it followed that each volunteer had own diurnal profile of biorhyth
