“…In the past two decades, employee volunteerism has become commonplace in many companies throughout the Western world, because many employees want to feel proud of the organizations for which they work. That pride will occur only when they feel that their organizations encourage civic improvements, introducing better health for people, and protecting the environment and natural resources (Marková, ; Bart et al ., ). Caligiuri et al ., () consider CSEV as an example of the way in which employees are actively engaged in their employers’ CSR activities.…”

Green human resource management (GHRM) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) have recently gained more attention in the business world. This study aims to investigate the role of corporate support for employee volunteering (CSEV) in strengthening the impact of GHRM on adopting CSR practices of the best 30 firms registered in EGX100 at the Egyptian stock exchange and engaged with CSR activities. Therefore, a conceptual framework was proposed to list theoretical concepts of GHRM, CSEV and CSR to form hypotheses. Data were collected from 326 respondents occupying the highest managerial positions in the studied firms. Using a structural equation model (SEM), the results indicate that both GHRM and CSEV influence positively on adopting CSR activities. Furthermore, CSEV plays a positive moderating role in strengthening the impact of GHRM on adopting CSR in the studied firms. These findings and their managerial implications were discussed in theory and practice.

“…This includes recruitment efforts—especially because volunteers with disabilities report different types of recruitment into voluntary organizations than those without disabilities: They have higher odds of becoming involved by being asked than by approaching the organization themselves (Shandra 2017). People with disabilities may be an untapped supply of volunteer labor, but supervisors should be aware of the unique barriers faced by volunteers with disabilities (Marková 2018) and tailor their outreach and coordination efforts accordingly. Resources are available to inform staff about best practices for inclusion (Corporation for National & Community Service 2017).…”

Disability Segregation in Volunteer Work

People with disabilities in the United States experience different types of paid work than people without disabilities; however, less is known about patterns in voluntary work—another form of productive labor that takes place within organizations. This study uses the Volunteer Supplement of the Current Population Survey to evaluate disability segregation in volunteer organizations and activities. Net of sociodemographic characteristics, volunteers with disabilities have lower odds than volunteers without disabilities of participating in educational/youth organizations and sport/hobby/cultural organizations, and higher odds of participating in social/community organizations. Furthermore, volunteers with disabilities have lower odds of participating in professional or coaching/teaching/mentoring activities and higher odds of participating in distribution activities—suggesting less access to leadership roles and opportunities for skill development. Finally, indices of dissimilarity indicate higher levels of segregation by disability status than by gender, race, or ethnicity. Volunteer work—like paid work—is stratified by disability, mirroring broader patterns of inequality.

“…Previous findings in the field of inclusive volunteering confirm that students all over the world face the same challenges: interaction with teachers, accompaniment by tutors, stress, and the organization of an accessible environment (Morningstar et al, 2010;Cosier et al, 2013;Li & Wang, 2013;Darcy et al, 2014;Jeanes et al, 2018). Thus, foreign researchers devote much attention to examine the role of volunteers in the learning process and further involvement of disabled people in the new socio-cultural environment (Mithen et al, 2015;Plows & Whitburn, 2017;Shandra, 2017;Marková, 2018;Knox et al, 2019). Studies analyzing the benefits of volunteering (personal development, social recognition, and integration) as well as its obstacles (negative attitude, personal considerations, failure to provide social integration to include people with disabilities in volunteering) are of great interest (Rochester et al, 2010;Shandra, 2019;Kappelides & Spoor, 2018).…”

Caring for people with disabilities and their social adaptation around the world is effectively carried out with the help of volunteer organizations and social workers. Training of volunteers is effective, which is critical both for advocating for people with disabilities and for motivating and expanding the volunteer movement. The study's objective is to analyse the effectiveness of a training program that will help volunteers develop skills for the accompaniment of disabled students. The article analyses the effectiveness of volunteer movement conducted at the Regional Resource and Education Centre for Disabled People and People with Special Needs, Pacific National University (Russia, Khabarovsk). From October 22 to November 28, 2019, a resource-based education centre for people with disabilities has conducted a survey to investigate issues of inclusive volunteering among 78 participants (75 students, 3 university workers) with special needs from 8 universities of the Far East Federal District (FEFD). The level of volunteers' selfreported perceptions towards persons with various disabilities increased from average to above average and high. Moreover, the knowledge on how to interact with disabled people has also improved. The results of the study describe the students' interest in various types of volunteer activities. Besides, the main directions for the formation of skills needed, to accompany people with reduced capabilities are built. The comparative representation of program units provides a better understanding of the existing problems and allows effective solutions.
