“…More specifically, Rosol (2012) and Kewes and Munsch (2019) show that a feeling of self-determination by initiators is crucial in their decision to commit to a CIs or not. This feeling can only be brought forth when initiators are given the possibility to determine the manner and extent of their commitment and work.…”

The rise of citizens’ initiatives is changing the relation between governments and citizens. This paper contributes to the discussion of how governments can productively relate to these self-organizing citizens. The study analyzes the relation between the social production of invited spaces and the invitational character of such spaces, as perceived by governments and citizens. Invited spaces are the (institutional, legal, organizational, political and policy) spaces that are created by governments for citizens to take on initiatives to create public value. We characterize four types of invited spaces and compare four cases in Dutch planning to analyze how these types of invited spaces are perceived as invitational. From the analysis, we draw specific lessons for governments that want to stimulate citizens’ initiatives. We conclude with a general insight for public administration scholars; in addition to formal rules and structures, scholars should pay more attention to interactions, attitudes and meaning making of both government officials and citizens.

“…Nicht eingehaltene Ziele wirken als negativer Stressor; Unfairness geht mit negativen Gefühlen einher und wirkt pathogen (ebd. Kewes & Munsch, 2019). Vor allem lassen sie sich in gemeinnützigen Organisationen nicht vergleichbar zu angestellten Mitarbeitern führen: Zum einen lassen sich Mechanismen zur Qualitätssicherung der zu leistenden Arbeit aufgrund des fehlenden vertraglich geregelten Beschäftigungsverhältnisses nicht in vergleichbarer Weise umsetzen.…”

“…Befragte heben hervor, dass ehrenamtliche Mitarbeiter einen hohen Bedeutungswert für das wirkungsvolle Umsetzen der SEO-Aktivitäten haben können (IPE 1429 , i. V. m. IPE 1430 ; IPτ 1431 ; siehe ebensoKewes & Munsch, 2019). Dabei kann deren Arbeitsleistung und insbesondere die Arbeitsqualität hoch und in der Folge der inhaltlichen Zielsetzung der SEO vorbildhaft dienlich sein (IPv 1432 ).…”

“…Volunteering is somehow stable, so participants' past experience can decide whether they will continue engaging in volunteer activities (Butrica et al, 2009;Lancee & Radl, 2014;Wilson & Musick, 1997). Their identity of volunteer gradually forms by dynamic reaction with organization and environment (Kewes & Munsch, 2019). The probability of participating in the volunteer activities once more may increase from 12.61% to 60.05% because of the past volunteering experience, and about 36% persistent volunteering resulted from the past volunteering experience (Dawson et al, 2019).…”

Looking at the course of educational development in developing countries, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), nonprofit organizations (NPOs), and volunteers have played a significant role in increasing educational resources in underdeveloped areas and moving educational resources to a balanced state. This study used a mixed-methods approach to investigate the underlying factors affecting volunteer teaching activities of Chinese college students. Data were collected from multiple resources using a self-developed questionnaire and semi-structured interviews. It was found that volunteer teaching activities of college students in China were affected by five key factors including motivation ambiguity, confused identity, unspecialized service, weak incentive mechanism, and a lack of supervision mechanism. In addition, exploratory factor analysis revealed that skills, activity experience, and volunteer performance were significantly correlated with the college students’ willingness to participate in volunteer teaching. Informed by the data, we proposed some tentative solutions to solve the challenges and dilemmas from the perspective of consciousness training, systematism cultivation, concept guidance, and the establishment of incentive and supervision mechanism.
