Abstract

In this study, we examine the motives behind higher education students’ volunteering and its determinants based on a survey (N=2,199) conducted in five Central and Eastern European countries. Based on the literature, we hypothesize that, besides traditional volunteering, which has the objective of helping others, it is also common to pursue career-focused volunteering, which is aimed at networking and the acquisition of work experience and professional knowledge. Cluster analysis results reveal the presence of traditional as well as career-focused volunteers, who also find it important to help others. Logistic regression results suggest that career-building motivations are more frequent among students who are in an unfavorable financial situation, display intensive individual religiosity and have close social relationships. Further regression results show that the country, the field of study and the relationship with faculty all influence whether volunteer work is related to the field of study.

大学生个人职业生涯管理中的志愿服务

在本研究中，我们根据在五个中欧和东欧国家进行的调查(N= 2199)，研究了高等教育学生志愿服务背后的动机及其决定因素。根据文献，我们假设，除了以帮助他人为目的的传统志愿服务外，以职业为中心的志愿服务也很常见，其目的是建立人际关系，获取工作经验和专业知识。聚类分析结果显示，既有传统的志愿者，也有以职业为中心的志愿者，他们也认为帮助他人很重要。Logistic回归结果显示，经济状况不佳、个人宗教信仰强烈、社会关系密切的学生，其职业发展动机更为频繁。进一步的回归结果表明，国家、研究领域以及与教师的关系都会影响志愿者工作是否与研究领域相关。
