Career Professionals Who Volunteer: Should Their Motives Be Accepted or Managed?
Abstract
The motives of career professionals (N = 201) who serve as volunteers
on key committees of a well-known national fund-raising organization
are explored, posing the question of whether volunteer agency
administrators should accept & reward them indiscriminately, or
try to mold their motives to conform to agency values. Tabulated
questionnaire data summarize the major typologies of reward/incentive
structures theorized in the literature, but here, it is concluded that
volunteer agency administrators should both accept & try to mold
career professionals' motives, the choice dependent on whether the aim
is to improve volunteers' attitudes or performance. 2 Tables, 1
