Organizational, Motivational, and Cultural Contexts of Volunteering: The European View: SpringerBriefs in Psychology
Autor Stefan T. Güntert, Theo Wehner, Harald A. Miegen Limba Engleză Hardback – 7 feb 2022
This open
access book
offers
a
comprehensive
view
of the
phenomenon
of
volunteer
work:
it examines motivational factors
and questions of
corporate
organization
and
the
social environment.
In
particular, this is
the
first
book
to
present
volunteer work
in
detail
as
a
psychosocial
resource
and
a
source
of
well-being
that should
not
be overused
or
abused.
The
book is
based
on
the
authors'
15 years
of
research
into
volunteer
work
in
Europe.
It provides
clear
instructions
on
designing
volunteer work
tasks, and on where boundaries must
be respected. The
findings
include insights
into
cultural
and
national
differences, and offer
practical advice on the
organization
of
volunteer work. This
book
answers
questions
like:
How
do
we
understand
voluntary
work?
How essential
is
it
that
this
kind
of
work
remains
unpaid
and
carried
out
by so-called laypersons
with
special
motives?
And
what
follows
from
this
for
the interaction
between
voluntary
work
and
professionalized,
paid
employment?
The analysis
draws
on perspectives
from
wellbeing
research,
organizational
and industrial
studies,
social
work, and related
social
sciences.
