“…Self-efficacy was found to partially and significantly mediate this relationship. The study by Almas et al (2020) on the relationship between transformational leadership and retention of volunteering employees in non-profit organizations in Spain yielded similar results to the study by Judeh and Abou-moghli (2019), revealing a positive significant relationship between the two variables. Satisfaction was found to partially mediate this relationship through organizational commitment and role loyalty.…”

Retention of the desired staff is a key determinant of success in microfinance institutions in the modern competitive world. Notably, these institutions experience poor staff retention due to inappropriate leadership. Investigations on the effect of transformational leadership on staff retention have largely considered transformational leadership as a unidimensional construct than its respective dimensions of idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration. This study therefore investigated the effect of transformational leadership on staff retention in microfinance institutions in Nairobi City County, Kenya, specifically the effect of idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation and individual consideration on staff retention. The underpinning theories were Transformational Leadership Theory, Leader-Member Exchange Theory, Social Exchange Theory, and Resource-Based View Theory. The study was guided by the positivism philosophy and descriptive and explanatory research designs. A total of 298 respondents was obtained through census sampling from the 12 accessible microfinance institutions licenced by the Central Bank of Kenya in Nairobi City County. Primary data was collected from senior, middle and lower-level management staff in the headquarters of these institutions, using structured questionnaires. The data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics, while hypotheses were tested at 5% significance level using regression analysis. The study established that transformational leadership significantly predicts staff retention through idealized influence, intellectual stimulation and individualized consideration. The study recommends that the policy makers in the microfinance institutions should align transformational leadership practices with the staff retention strategies for the success of these institutions.

“…In addition, TPB is used to study the willingness of volunteers to stay on and predict the possibility of participation in future volunteer activities. Several studies have provided reasonable answers to volunteers' lasting motivation from the perspective of TPB (White et al, 2017;Almas et al, 2020).…”

“…Among the motivations of Chinese volunteers, collectivism seems to be dominant (Wang and Wu, 2014;Guo et al, 2021); because of cultural differences, American volunteers are attentive to the motivation factors of collectivism, but also focus on individualism (Mencken and Fitz, 2013;Cnaan et al, 2017;Yamashita et al, 2019) (Dwyer et al, 2013;Güntert and Wehner, 2015) while citing psychological journals provides evidence for scale design (Bang et al, 2019). ( 5) The co-occurrence analysis and cluster analysis of keywords reveal that self-determination theory (Finkelstein, 2009;Güntert and Wehner, 2015;Van Schie et al, 2015) and the theory of planned behavior (Warburton and Terry, 2000;Greenslade and White, 2005;Hyde and Knowles, 2013;White et al, 2017;Almas et al, 2020) are the two most frequently applied. An evolution analysis revealed that a mature research system has been developed in this field.…”

Volunteers play an indispensable role in several major events and activities. The purpose of this study is to review studies on volunteer motivation from 2000 to 2021 and to discover the development trends in this field. The Web of Science Core Collection is the main literature data resource, from which 162 papers on volunteer motivation published in the SSCI were selected. Using two visualization analysis tools, CiteSpace and VOSviewer, this study conducts bibliometric analysis and systematic review from multiple dimensions, identifying the authors, countries, institutions, and journals with high productivity in this field. Additionally, we explored highly cited papers, authors, and journals in this field. This study aims to find the research hotspots and theoretical basis through co-occurrence analysis and cluster analysis of keywords and explore the evolution through the time zone map drawn with CiteSpace. Moreover, we focus on the influence of Chinese and Western cultures (represented by China and the United States) on volunteer motivation. It was found that Chinese volunteers were more affected by collectivism, whereas American volunteers were more affected by individualism. The conclusion of this study constructs a clear framework for research on volunteer motivation, which provides researchers with a deeper and thorough understanding of the connotation of volunteer motivation, providing guidance and support for future research in this field.

There is an interest from scholars and practitioners in understanding how nonprofit organizations (NPOs) can design and implement practices to enhance desirable volunteer attitudes and behaviors (Alfes et al., 2017). One important attitude is volunteers’ organizational commitment (OC). This research aims to identify factors that diminish volunteers’ OC and suggest effective ways to deal with them, which lead to NPOs performance improvement. This is achieved through a single case study in a Puerto Rican non-profit organization, which consists of in-depth interviews and self-administered questionnaires on psychological contract violation Five categories of factors that negatively affect volunteers’ OC were identified and analyzed: organizational structure, communication, recognition, strategic planning, and conflict management. General actions were provided to help NPOs deal with similar issues.
