“…They might look forward to retirement as a relief from work-related stressors (Lahdenperä et al, 2022) and may not want to engage in an activity similar to employment. In the latest German Survey on Volunteering, 42% of adults 65+ who did not volunteer or stopped volunteering reported that they did not want any more commitments (Arriagada & Karnick, 2021). Hence, individuals with increases in life satisfaction across the retirement transition despite decreasing volunteering frequency may represent a group of retirees that benefits from disengagement from work and "serious" leisure roles in the retirement transition (Cumming & Henry, 1961;McGuire & Norman, 2005).…”

Theoretical considerations suggest that volunteering contributes to retirement adjustment because it compensates for role losses following retirement. However, the idea that mental health benefits of volunteering are stronger after retirement than prior to retirement has been hardly tested empirically. Moreover, it remains open to question who benefits from volunteering in retirement in particular. In this study, I investigated whether trajectories of volunteering were associated with concurrent trajectories of life satisfaction (general life satisfaction, satisfaction with leisure time) across the retirement transition, and whether life satisfaction at and prior to retirement moderated these associations after retirement. I conducted multivariate latent growth curve modeling using panel data (N = 9,043) from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP; 1984–2019). Slopes of volunteering and life satisfaction were split into one preretirement slope and two postretirement slopes (short- and long-term after retirement). Slopes of life satisfaction were regressed on concurrent slopes of volunteering. Increases in volunteering were related to concurrent increases in general life satisfaction after retirement, but not before. The associations after retirement were more positive than the associations prior to retirement. There were no such differences for satisfaction with leisure time. Associations between slopes of volunteering and life satisfaction after retirement were the more positive the lower the level of life satisfaction at retirement and the stronger the decrease in life satisfaction prior to retirement. These findings imply that volunteering may compensate for the loss of the working role, particularly for retirees who experienced decreases in life satisfaction in the retirement transition.

“…While there exists a large body of research both on general motivations of voluntary engagement and on social movement activism (e.g. Arriagada & Karnick, 2021;Wilson, 2000), research focused on refugee support expanded only recently. With its multiple forms, it should be distinguished from a social movement (Roth, 2021).…”

During the 2015 “summer of welcome”, the mass arrival of refugees to Germany triggered widely publicised acts of pro-refugee solidarity among citizens. To date, scholarship has largely focused on hostility towards immigrants—including refugees-, and few studies shed light on the determinants of acceptance, so that refugee solidarity remains poorly understood. In this paper, we hypothesise that pro-refugee engagement does not just reflect humanitarian concerns, but also a more general acceptance of socio-cultural diversity in German society. Relying on unique survey data gathered in 2019–2020, we show that a majority of urban Germans indeed engaged in some form of support. We employ latent class analysis to capture the spectrum of diversity attitudes within the urban population. A series of regression models show that diversity attitudes are powerful predictors of pro-refugee engagement. Overall, our study helps advancing immigration scholarship by demonstrating that widespread support for refugees is strongly associated with more general diversity assent.

“…Neben Motiven und Motivationen sowie Beendigungs-und Hinderungsgründe der ehrenamtlichen Tätigkeit wie z.B. fehlende Zeit [AK21] werden im Rahmen dieser Erhebung zudem Erkenntnisse zu der Internetnutzung von Ehrenamtlichen gewonnen [TRH21]. Zudem gibt es Untersuchungen zu der Bedeutung des Ehrenamts in Deutschland, auch vor dem Hintergrund des gesellschaftlichen Wandels [Ka21], sowie zu Unterschieden hinsichtlich Geschlechter, Altersgruppen, Schulbildung und Erwerbstätigkeit [Si21].…”

Die Digitalisierung ist ein zentraler gesellschaftlicher Trend des 21. Jahrhunderts. Digitale Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien gewinnen in nahezu allen öffentlichen und privaten Lebensbereichen an Bedeutung. Auch im Bereich des freiwilligen Engagements werden zunehmend Möglichkeiten der Digitalisierung genutzt, wie z.B. die Terminkommunikation einer Übungsleiterin im Sportverein per E-Mail. Ob und wie Engagierte digitale Techniken für ihre freiwillige Tätigkeit überhaupt nutzen können, hängt u.a. davon ab, ob sie Zugang zum Internet haben und ihnen entsprechende Infrastruktur zur Verfügung steht. Neben den technischen Voraussetzungen spielt aber auch der Wille, IT im Ehrenamt zu nutzen, eine wesentliche Rolle. Diese Studie soll einen Beitrag dazu leisten, mehr über mögliche Akzeptanzkriterien bei der Nutzung digitaler Tools im Ehrenamt zu erfahren.
