Concern with the successful management of non-profit organizations
(NPOs) has become an issue of growing concern to organizations and
managers in recent decades. leaders of for-profit organizations can
learn from their NPOs counterparts, especially in the areas of
motivation and productivity of knowledge workers. However, rigorous
empirical research exploring management of volunteers working in
NPOs has been surprisingly sparse. One of the reasons for this
might be that we did not have coherent, well-established frameworks
for understanding what drives volunteer behaviour in NPOs, notably
the level of participation or withdrawal from the organization .The
present study applied a psychological ownership approach to
understanding volunteer behaviour in NPOs. This study investigates
the relationship between leadership styles (e.g., taskoriented,
relationship-oriented and participative leadership style),
perceived control, psychological ownership of the job and several
volunteers' work attitudes. Particular attention is given to
turnover intentions, psychological withdrawal and senses of
responsibility.
