“…The fact that the results are so consistent across these sources of variation bolsters our confidence that we have identified five recurring themes in motivations for volunteer work that can be reliably tapped by our 25-item inventory, that are not sample specific, and that may be common to diverse forms of volunteerism. Nevertheless, we do not claim to have provided an exhaustive catalog of volunteer motivations; in fact, we recognize that attempts to measure motivations for AIDS volunteerism from other theoretical perspectives may reveal additional motives (e.g., Williams, 1988; Wong, Ouellette Kobasa, Cassel, & Platt, 1991).…”

“…However, it is also paradigmatic of sustained and potentially costly helping without obligation. What little research that has been done on AIDS volunteerism has been primarily descriptive (e.g., Arno, 1986; Kayal, 1993; Lopez & Getzel, 1987; Williams, 1988). Therefore, to infuse this phenomenon with theory, we have developed a conceptual analysis that identifies three stages of the volunteer process: antecedents, experiences, and consequences (for a detailed explication, see Omoto & Snyder, 1990; Omoto, Snyder, & Berghuis, 1993).…”

“…Among the societal responses prompted by the global HIV epidemic has been the development of community-based, grassroots organizations of volunteers involved in the care of people living with AIDS (PWAs) and in public education about HIV disease and PWAs. AIDS volunteer service organizations are widespread in the United States, with volunteers providing services ranging from providing emotional support to PWAs to helping PWAs with their household chores and transportation needs, making educational presentations, and raising funds (Arno, 1986; Chambré, 1991; Kayal, 1993; Lopez & Getzel, 1987; Omoto & Berghuis, 1993; Velentgas, Bynum, & Zierler, 1990; Williams, 1988).…”

A conceptual framework that identifies psychological and behavioral features associated with antecedents, experiences, and consequences of volunteerism is presented, and an inventory that measures 5 specific motivations for AIDS volunteerism is developed and cross-validated. Then a field study of 116 AIDS volunteers is presented in which a helping disposition, volunteer motivations, and social support (as antecedents), and personal satisfaction and organizational integration (as experiences) are used to predict duration of service over 2 1/2 years. Structural equation analyses indicate that dispositional helping influences satisfaction and integration but not duration of service, whereas greater motivation and less social support predict longer active volunteer service. The model is generalized to the prediction of perceived attitude change. Implications for conceptualizations of motivation, theoretical issues in helping, and practical concerns of volunteer organizations are discussed.

Volunteers and volunteer organizations are critical elements in society's response to the HIV epidemic. This article reviews a model of the volunteer process that draws on psychological theory and methodology and incorporates concerns of individual volunteers, volunteer organizations, and society at large. An inventory for assessing the motivations of AIDS volunteers is introduced. The findings from a survey of volunteers working in AIDS organizations around the United States speak to their motivations, their choices of volunteer roles, and their decisions about quitting or continuing service. Based on these findings, a detailed set of recommendations for effective volunteer recruitment, assignment, and retention is offered.

This study attempted to explore Turkish headteachers' and teachers' burnout and job satisfaction relating to work status, gender and years work-experiences. The purpose of this study is to find out whether there is difference between headteachers' and teachers' burnout and job satisfaction in terms of work status, gender and years work-experiences. In this study, quantitative approach was used. A total of290 subjects (80 headteachers and 210 teachers) responded to the survey. As research instruments, the Job Satisfaction Scale (JSS) and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBl), were used to measure dimensions ofheadteachers , and teachers' burnout. The study results indicated that headteachers have more job dissatisfaction and depersonalisation than teachers. Males have less emotional exhaustion but higher depersonalisation than their female counterparts. Subjects participated in this study seemed to be different on depersonalisation and personal accomplishment dimensions on the scale in relation to their work years. More experienced subjects have higher depersonalisation and less job satisfaction than their less experienced counterparts. In contrast, more experienced subjects have higher personal accomplishment than the others.
