This open access book offers a comprehensive view of the phenomenon
of volunteer work: it examines motivational factors and questions
of corporate organization and the social environment. In
particular, this is the first book to present volunteer work in
detail as a psychosocial resource and a source of well-being that
should not be overused or abused. The book is based on the authors'
15 years of research into volunteer work in Europe. It provides
clear instructions on designing volunteer work tasks, and on where
boundaries must be respected. The findings include insights into
cultural and national differences, and offer practical advice on
the organization of volunteer work. This book answers questions
like: How do we understand voluntary work? How essential is it that
this kind of work remains unpaid and carried out by so-called
laypersons with special motives? And what follows from this for the
interaction between voluntary work and professionalized, paid
employment? The analysis draws on perspectives from wellbeing
research, organizational and industrial studies, social work, and
related social sciences.
Die Autoren eroertern in diesem essential die wesentlichen Punkte
fur das Verstandnis und die Organisation von Freiwilligenarbeit.
Sie beschaftigen sich mit den folgenden Fragen: Wie koennen wir
freiwillige Arbeit verstehen? Wie wesentlich ist es fur diese Art
von Arbeit, dass sie unbezahlt bleibt und von sogenannten Laien mit
besonderer Motivlage ausgefuhrt wird? Was folgt daraus fur das
Zusammenspiel von Freiwilligenarbeit und der professionalisierten,
bezahlten Erwerbsarbeit? Diese Fragen werden zunehmend gestellt,
denn ohne die unbezahlten Tatigkeiten von Freiwilligen kann kein
derzeitiges Gemeinwesen bestehen.
