“…To our knowledge, no studies examined relationships between a chaotic leadership style and need frustration. Outside the teaching context, we found two studies, the first among nurses (Tr epanier et al, 2019), the second considering volunteers in sports clubs (De Clerck et al, 2019) that confirmed that a chaotic leadership style is positively related to need frustration. Studies with teachers showed that need frustration relates to less optimal outcomes such as reduced life satisfaction (Ebersold et al, 2019) and more burnout (Bartholomew et al, 2014;Cuevas et al, 2015;Ebersold et al, 2019).…”

El propósito de este trabajo es definir el papel de las actividades de voluntariado en el desarrollo profesional de los futuros docentes que actualmente son estudiantes de instituciones de educación superior. El principal método de investigación utilizado en este trabajo es descriptivo y cualitativo, ya que analiza un número de estudiantes voluntarios en el Instituto Pedagógico de la Universidad Federal del Nordeste de Ammosov (Sakha, Rusia) sobre la base de los resultados de la investigación sociológica anual de NEFU “Estudiante” para el período 2017-2019 y examinar su motivación por ser voluntario(a) a través de una encuesta. Los estudiantes se ofrecieron como voluntarios en una amplia gama de actividades: programas educativos, formación práctica académica, preparación de artículos científicos e implementación de proyectos socialmente significativos. Cuando los estudiantes universitarios de pedagogía organizaron sus actividades de voluntariado para relacionarlas con sus futuras actividades profesionales, ampliaron significativamente sus conocimientos sobre la profesión elegida, reforzaron su motivación para el desarrollo profesional y generaron adecuadas autoevaluaciones de sus cualidades personales y profesionales como futuros docentes. En conclusión: la actividad de voluntariado con orientación profesional como parte de la formación de futuros profesores desarrolla no solo las cualidades y competencias profesionales requeridas, sino que también se convierte en una etapa de su profesionalización, ayudándoles a encontrar su lugar de trabajo más rápidamente y desarrollando sus habilidades sociales y profesionales. Las implicaciones prácticas del estudio radican en la posibilidad de utilizar los resultados de la investigación para organizar actividades de voluntariado en las universidades.

Person-organisation fit is the compatibility between individuals' and the organisations' attributes. Researchers have used a variety of dimensions to measure this compatibility. In measuring the similarity between the individual and organization, this study has focused on goal and value congruence. The current study aimed to investigate the person-organization fit factors that influence individuals' participation in volunteer activities. A 16-item scale that consisted of two 8-item subscales was constructed to measure the individual and organization congruence. About 404 respondents completed the questionnaire in the Cape Coast Metropolis in Ghana. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, cross tabulation and principal component analysis. The study revealed that diverse group of people were involved in NGO volunteer activities. The factor analysis show a twocomponent solution that explained a total of 61.83 % of the variance, with component 1 (person factor) contributing 54.57 % and component 2 (organization factor) contributing 7.26 %. The high communality values of the individual items for the person and organization factors, ranging from .413 to .766, are indicative of the similarity of the goals and values. The strong positive correlation between the two subscales (r ¼ .63) shows that fit exists between the individuals and organizations' factors might have a positive influence on the study respondents' participation in volunteer activities. It is imperative that NGOs, especially those in the Cape Coast Metropolis pay particular attention to specific person-organization fit factors to attract, recruit and retain potential volunteers in the future.
