A volume in Research in Public Management Series Editors: Lawrence
R. Jones and Nancy C. Roberts, Naval Postgraduate School Volunteer
management has many challenges, not the least of which is how we
study it and view it. Academics examine it from a variety of
disciplines and practitioners experience it in a variety of
contexts. However both approaches have limitations. In academia we
go to public administration schools to learn about public and
nonprofit management, to business schools to apply the principles
of private enterprise to nonprofit management, to sociology
departments to study the phenomena of volunteerism, to psychology
departments to understand the motives of volunteers, and economics
departments to examine the value or economic worth of volunteerism.
The liability of the academic approach is the segmentation of study
and research into departmental areas. The study of volunteers and
volunteerism needs to cross all of these organizational and
discipline boundaries to be fully appreciated and understood as a
field of interest. In contrast, practitioners view volunteer
management from their own unique experiences.They try to gauge
success in volunteer management based on what they have encountered
in particular organizations, towns, cultures, and countries in
which they work. As important as these insights are, they are
difficult to generalize beyond local settings. Just because an
individual has been successful in working with volunteers, it does
not mean that the lessons learned in one situation can be
translated to others under all conditions. The target audience for
this volume is anyone who manages volunteers. The goal of the
volume is to demonstrate the breadth of thought on volunteer
management, both across disciplines and a wide range of settings in
which volunteers work.
