Factors Important to Success in the Volunteer Long-Term Care Ombudsman Role
Tóm tắt
This study found that the satisfaction of one state's largely older volunteers' altruistic, affiliation, and self-improvement motives corresponded to increased organizational loyalty and better performance across several dimensions. Younger volunteers served for shorter periods and were more highly motivated by the “self-improvement” need. Altruism and organizational loyalty emerged as particularly important motivations.
