AIDS Volunteers and Their Motivations: Theoretical Issues and Practical Concerns
Abstract
After reviewing a model of the volunteer process that draws on
psychological theory & methodology & incorporates concerns of
individual volunteers, volunteer organizations, & society at
large, an inventory for assessing the motivations of AIDS (acquired
immune deficiency syndrome) volunteers is introduced. Findings from a
survey of 615 volunteers working in AIDS organizations around the US
demonstrate their motivations, choices of volunteer roles, &
decisions about quitting or continuing service. A detailed set of
recommendations for effective volunteer recruitment, assignment, &
retention is offered. 4 Tables, 1 Exhibit, 38 References. Adapted from
the source document.
