Abstract

People are largely heterogeneous when it comes to their motivations to volunteer. Previous research explained this heterogeneity by individual predispositions and contextual factors. In this paper, we investigate the extent to which peoples’ occupations can explain differences in their volunteering motivations. Our empirical analysis relies upon 7,725 open texts written by volunteers living in France about why they wish to volunteer. Our results reveal that providing resources and skills is a significant motivation to volunteer, all occupations combined. However, altruistic and social motives differ between occupations. After eliciting these results for each occupation, we discuss their implications for NPO’s volunteer management.

职业对志愿服务动机有影响吗？

就志愿服务的动机而言，人们的动机大体上是不同的。以往的研究通过个人倾向和环境因素来解释这种异质性。在本文中，我们研究了人们的职业在多大程度上可以解释他们志愿服务动机的差异。我们的实证分析依据的是居住在法国的志愿者撰写的 7,725 篇公开文本，这些文本讲述了他们希望成为志愿者的原因。结果显示，提供资源和技能是志愿服务的一个重要动机，所有职业都是如此。然而，利他主义动机和社会动机在不同职业之间存在差异。在得出每个职业的这些结果后，我们讨论了它们对非营利组织志愿者管理的影响。
