“…The prestige of being associated with the health organization and associated feelings of pride (not only with themselves but with the work they are doing) further define this motivation Having influence is key to the overall tenure of an individual's involvement in these initiatives. The Learning New Things motivation is fairly common in the volunteer literature and is primarily focused on an individual's desire to be exposed to new experiences and to have the chance to exercise knowledge, skills and abilities that might otherwise go unpracticed . The Conditional motivation describes how an individual makes a decision to participate, given a set of circumstances .…”

Background Large‐scale transformation depends on effective engagement of diverse stakeholders. With the evolution of the role of the ‘patient partner’ in health‐care decision making, understanding the motivations of these individuals is essential to the success of engagement initiatives. This study reports on motivational factors associated with patient engagement in health care. Methods Patient co‐investigators and a researcher co‐designed and conducted this study. A survey was administered to patients and family members. Key informant interviews and previous research informed the development of the survey tool. The survey data were analysed using exploratory factor analysis to identify the underlying dimensions in the data. Cronbach's alpha was used to determine reliability. Results A total of 1449 individuals participated in the survey. Of these, 543 completed and 427 partially completed the survey (67% complete rate). The mean age of the respondents was 54 years. The majority of participants were female, well‐educated, retired, married and lived in an urban centre. Seven motivational factors explained 65% of the total variance. Analysis of internal consistency revealed acceptable reliability for all items. The seven motivations were as follows: Self‐fulfillment, Improving Healthcare, Compensation, Influence, Learning New Things, Conditional and Perks. Conclusion The results of this research describe a sample of patient and family members currently engaged with health systems. We identified seven motivational factors underlying their engagement. A deeper knowledge of volunteer motivations will not only create meaningful engagement opportunities for patients, but also enable health organizations to gain from the experience of these individuals, thereby enhancing quality and sustainability of patient engagement programmes.

Introducción: El voluntariado puede definirse como conductas prosociales no espontáneas, planificadas a largo plazo dadas en un contexto organizacional y que buscan activamente beneficiar a extraños (Penner, 2002). Objetivo: Dado el interés por conocer aquellos factores que impulsan a una persona a involucrarse y permanecer en el servicio voluntario, se presentan las principales consideraciones teóricas referidas a las motivaciones para el voluntariado, proponiendo un instrumento para su operacionalización. Método: Con la colaboración de cinco jueces expertos se construyó un instrumento de 62 reactivos con un formato de respuesta tipo Likert de 7 puntos. Participaron del estudio 320 adultos jóvenes, de entre 18 a 30 años (M = 22,34; DE = 3,36). Resultados: Se analizaron las propiedades psicométricas de la escala a partir de: a) el poder discriminativo de los ítems, b) la estructura subyacente de la prueba, y c) la consistencia interna de la escala. Los resultados obtenidos evidencian un funcionamiento psicométrico adecuado. Conclusiones: El cuestionario de evaluación de motivaciones para el voluntariado podría ser una herramienta útil para el reclutamiento de voluntarios, la ubicación de candidatos en puestos apropiados y para el diseño de estrategias que favorezcan su permanencia.

Understanding aspects that influence Brazilian companies' employees in volunteer initiatives participation: Contributions to sustainable development

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In the last decades, several indicators are showing the inadequacy of countries' economic models. Changes in these models are necessary to contemplate the concept of sustainable development. In this sense, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals were published by United Nations to guide companies, countries and people. Volunteer actions are important initiatives for this. This kind of initiative can be described as the act of helping someone, aiming to contribute to a fairer society in which charity and citizenship are present. The main objective of this study is to analyze the main aspects that influence Brazilian companies' employees to participate in volunteer programs and, to identify how these aspects may be grouped into factors. Initially, a bibliographic study was carried out to identify the main aspects that influence the participation of companies' employees in volunteer programs. With this information, a questionnaire was structured and used in a survey. Data analysis was performed via exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and five from seven aspects analyzed were validated. They are grouped into two factors named "personal aspects" and "institutional aspects". The first factor better explains the aspects mentioned. The results presented here may be useful for managers of volunteer programs and researchers interested in the theme.
