摘要

志愿服务既能改善受助者的生活,也能改善志愿者的生活,因此,探讨是什么促使人们开始并继续志愿服务是非常重要的。例如,以社会认同方法为基础的研究认识到,与群体相关的过程是重要的。最近在这一传统下进行的定量研究强调了志愿服务作为宗教身份认同的一种手段的潜在重要性,但还没有研究对这一观点进行定性探讨,这意味着身份认同作为志愿服务动机的丰富性和复杂性仍未得到研究。为了解决这个问题,我们对英国有宗教动机的志愿组织中的志愿者(N = 26)进行了访谈,这些组织正在应对一个重要的现实问题:日益严重的粮食不安全问题。理论指导下的反思性主题分析提出了四个主题,表明志愿服务可以促进不同身份(即宗教、志愿者和人类)的形成,从而说明了通过志愿服务形成身份的细微差别和复杂性。本文探讨了其理论和实践意义。

“I knew I needed to live what I realised was faith in me”: Enacting and transcending religious identity through food aid volunteering

Volunteering can enhance both help-recipients’ and volunteers’ lives, so it is important to explore what motivates people to begin and continue volunteering. For instance, research underpinned by the social identity approach recognises that group-related processes are consequential. Recent quantitative research within this tradition highlighted the potential importance of volunteering as a means of religious identity enactment, but no work has yet explored this idea qualitatively, which means that the richness and complexity of identity enactment as a motive for volunteering remains unexamined. Addressing this, we conducted interviews with volunteers (N = 26) within English religiously motivated voluntary organisations that are responding to an important real-world issue: growing levels of food insecurity. Theoretically guided reflexive thematic analysis developed four themes showing that volunteering can facilitate enactment of different identities (i.e., religious, volunteer and human), thus illustrating the nuanced and complex nature of identity enactment through volunteering. Theoretical and practical implications are explored.
