Examining the Influence of Motivation on Volunteer Engagement
Keywords:
healthy environment, motivation, performance, volunteers
Abstract
In certain cases, volunteers are a scarce resource and so need special attention. As a result, volunteers must take into consideration the incentive offered by any organization to meet its criteria in order to use their skills and abilities to their maximum potential. Most managers agree that understanding the motivations and goals of volunteers is essential. The most important problem is the role of motivation and purpose fulfillment in pleasing the volunteer and explaining the link between satisfaction and charity actions in a more full way. Improved volunteer recruitment and retention would be made possible by gaining a deeper knowledge of the factors that drive volunteer behavior. Due to a lack of funding, it is critical to evaluate the volunteers' level of satisfaction by looking at their motivations and the results they achieved. Workers are more capable of being flexible and delegating tasks if they are given a positive work environment and culture. The more you can trust one another, the better off you'll be at work. Employees who work in a healthy environment tend to be more productive than those who work in a toxic one.
