Volunteering and its nonprofit organizations have commonly been
analyzed in economic terms, with volunteering being referred to as
"unpaid (productive) work". This economic definition has been
around far longer than that of volunteering conceived of as
leisure, which is discussed as the volitional definition. By means
of a lengthy literature review, this book sets out the theoretical
and empirical contributions of the serious leisure perspective to
understanding volunteer motivation. This second approach began more
than 40 years ago. It answers the key motivational question of why
people engage in unpaid productive work, laborious or not. Since in
this conception payment in cash or in kind is not an incentive to
perform such work, what encourages people to volunteer? The serious
leisure perspective, unlike mainstream economics, can shed
considerable light on this question.
