“…Scholars, managers, and politicians alike argue that external and voluntary contributors, beyond reducing costs (Meijer, 2016), can improve overall organizational performance, including through driving innovation in products and services (Bason, 2010; Boyle & Harris, 2009; Carr, 2007; Chesbrough & Bogers, 2014). Research finds that volunteers are more free from formal expectations than are professional workers and have more spontaneous, compassionate, and informal behaviour from which organizations can benefit in the form of authentic relationships in welfare services (La Cour, 2019), practical learning in schools (Bergmann & Højlund, 2018), creativity (Lauritzen, 2017) and receptiveness to changing demands and flexibility to individual needs (Brandsen, Pestoff, & Verschuere, 2014; La Cour, 2014).…”

“…Current organizational trends of inclusion, including increasingly close relationships between volunteering and public organizations, have led scholars to suggest that the definition of organizational boundaries is more complex than it may appear (Bencherki & Snack, 2016; Leonhard Dobusch & Schoeneborn, 2015; Schreyögg & Sydow, 2010). Some studies have detected a blurring of the definition of membership, showing that organizations have difficulties distinguishing between professionals and volunteers (Bergmann & Højlund, 2018; Ganesh & McAllum, 2012) and between members and nonmembers (Lauritzen, 2017; Paulsen & Hernes, 2003), as well as uncertainty as to when to enforce or ignore formal rules (La Cour, 2019).…”

“…On the one hand, organizations seek to include volunteers by making them subject to their formal decision‐making. On the other, organizations seek to honour the externality of volunteers—including their distinct values, goals and attitudes—which makes them capable of contributing something new to organizational activities, such as authentic relationships (La Cour, 2019), practical learning (Bergmann & Højlund, 2018) and creativity (Lauritzen, 2017).…”

This article suggests a system‐theoretical re‐reading of formal membership and inclusion within three public organizations that operate under the umbrella of a single municipality and incorporate volunteers into their welfare activities. While volunteers are a treasured resource in public organizations, those organizations face challenges when seeking to address volunteers with their formal structures. This article explores these issues in a Danish municipality in three different organizational settings that use volunteers to support children, the elderly, and city planning. It adds to research on voluntary work by illustrating a set of strategies for organizing volunteers that are radically different from the more controlling strategies that have previously been studied. These alternative strategies include postponing decisions, leading by coincidences, informal organization, and tolerating disruptive behaviour. Based on these findings, this article suggests new forms of inclusion and organizational deviance that can both enhance the flexibility of the organizational system and risk destabilizing its structures.

In the publicity process, it is done jointly by establishing a We Chat public account, using online platforms and community bulletin boards, and promoting the development of community student sports activities by improving residents’ sports awareness. Parent sports school is a form composed of parent members to spread sports knowledge. Invite school medical staff or community health security personnel to teach parents how to maintain a good lifestyle. Help parents to acquire correct educational concepts and scientific methods for children’s physical education. Parents’ sports schools can carry out activities that suit them according to local conditions. Schools are built on the community, teachers and community managers can increase communication to make better use of community public resources, and at the same time enhance the community’s participation in sports activities and encourage others to participate in sports. In the social network publicity methods, 22.9% have sports information publicity, and 77.1% have no network publicity. This research is helpful to the further promotion of sports.
