Volunteer stewardship management models for volunteer programs

Abstract

Most events depend on volunteers. But not all events should manage volunteers in the same way. In general, Mega Events, certainly when they organized every time in different locations, should apply a programme management approach in which volunteers have less autonomy and are placed in well defined assignments. Smaller local events, certainly if they are organized frequently, should apply a member management approach that gives volunteers more freedom to create their own assignments. Next to that, event volunteer manager should develop strategies to engage with the new providers of access to volunteer energy such as corporations, educational institutes, family volunteering and single volunteers. These dual or shared volunteer management systems offer easy recruitability but might influence the autonomy of the event organization.

Volunteer omnichannel behavior in nonprofit organizations: Key antecedents and implications for management

“…The universalistic approach proposes a single form to manage volunteers in all nonprofits/activities, as it "is based on 'one size fits all' management solutions, to be applied to all organizations and volunteers regardless of mission, organizational culture, and volunteer characteristics" (Brudney & Meijs, 2014, p. 307). However, the contingency approach suggests that the way volunteers may be managed depends on volunteer-focused and program/organization-focused factors, and on the context (Brudney & Meijs, 2014;Meijs & Ten Hoorn, 2008).…”

Факторы Удовлетворенности Эпизодических Волонтеров

В этом контексте наше исследование -продолжение более широкой дискуссии о применимости общих подходов управления волонтерами к ЭВ и созвучно более ранней дискуссии о том, подойдут ли волонтерам управленческие модели, применяемые для оплачиваемых сотрудников коммерческих компаний [Meijs, 2021]?…”
