“…On the other hand, literature of the last decades (Kim, and Kim, 2014) has identified the trend of rapid growth of such programs as a way to answer the growing expectations of CSR practices. It has come to see that companies can make a difference in the communities where they operate (Grant, 2007) when they are able to organize and put together the convenient means for their employees to become involved in CV (Sajardo and Serra, 2008;Knox, 2015). Volunteering belongs to the group of so-called helping behaviors and involves a commitment of time and effort (Wilson, 2000) without coercion or remuneration (Millette and Gagné, 2008).…”

The objective of this research is to study which are the determinants for the participation of employees in Corporate Volunteer actions -hereafter CV-that can become barriers and brakes, and which ones can mean negative consequences for the company. Ignorance of managers for these programs, about which are those brakes and its relevance, may be behind the low participation fees that companies have in their Corporate Volunteering Programs.For this purpose, we conducted a qualitative empirical study to define a model, based on the motivations and determinants of employee participation in corporate volunteer programs. The methodology that we use in order to advance the understanding of this field is common in the dynamics of so-called Discussion Groups or Focus Group (FG). We believe that this methodological approach fits well with the research question and objectives that guide us in this work, since it will allow the reconstruction of real social situations and to capture the interaction between different discourses.We trust the fact the model proposed really allows advance in knowledge of Corporate Volunteer field, as literature suggested, and we offer a conceptual framework to managers in order to develop CV programs that allows mitigating potential risks and increasing employee participation effectively.KEYWORDS RESUMEN Barreras y Frenos al Voluntariado CorporativoObjetivos El Voluntariado Corporativo (VC) es un fenómeno en desarrollo con el que pueden ganar la empresa, los empleados y la sociedad. Esta circunstancia choca con que las cuotas de participación de los empleados en este tipo de programas son realmente bajas. Esto se debe a que los motivos de la corporate philanthropy no han sido comprendidos completamente. Sobre todo, falta investigación en lo referido a los determinantes del VC. Sin aclarar este extremo, no resultará fácil conseguir que aumente la ratio de voluntarios. En definitiva, se aprecia que, si bien los programas de VC crecen en importancia, la investigación empírica es todavía muy escasa y poco conocida.Así, nuestra investigación persigue conocer cómo opera la voluntad de cooperar en el VC con ánimo de incrementarlo, o lo que es lo mismo, cómo podemos incrementar la participación de los empleados en los programas de VC. Para esto necesitamos conocer: cuáles son los factores determinantes y las motivaciones de los empleados para participar en el VC, y cuáles son las barreras y frenos que impiden o dificultan dicha participación. Nuestra investigación pone el foco en el segundo punto -frenos y barreras-lo que menos se conoce, y para lo que necesitamos estudiar tanto a los participantes en VC como a aquellos otros que no participan en actividades de VC. Diseño, metodología y aproximaciónEsta investigación persigue obtener la comprensión holística del problema desde un abordaje cualitativo empleando el método de Grupos de Discusión (GD), ampliamente utilizado en ciencias sociales, porque genera diversidad y diferencia; porque permite estudiar actitudes, opiniones y prácticas de lo...
