Volunteer care workers: A case for challenging resource theories on volunteering
This paper challenges prevailing theories on volunteering which explain participation in volunteer work by the high capital resources of individuals (resource theories). Using care theory and focusing on volunteers working with the frail elderly, the sick and the dying, we ask whether resource theory is a suitable theoretical framework for this particular kind of unpaid work. With a 2012 Danish population survey, we find that care volunteering at…
Whether and How Much to Give: Uncovering the Contrasting Determinants of the Decisions of Whether and How Much to Give to Charity with Two-Stage Alternatives to the Prevailing Tobit Model
Charitable giving involves two seemingly distinct decisions: whether to give and how much to give. However, many researchers methodologically assume that these decisions are one and the same. The present study supports the argument that this is an incorrect assumption that is likely to generate misleading conclusions, in part, since the second decision is much more financial in nature than the first. The argument that charitable giving entails tw…
The Effect of Volunteer Work on Employability: A Study with Danish Survey and Administrative Register Data
In addition to benefiting others, volunteer work is argued to supply volunteers themselves with skills, reputation, and social connections that increase overall employability. We test this hypothesized causal link between volunteer work and employability with a high-quality 2012 Danish survey sample of 1,867 individuals of working age. The survey data are linked to administrative registers containing individual-level data on unemployment. A combi…
De stabile frivillige. Betydningen af kapitalressourcer, livsfaser og organisatorisk kontekst for vedvarende frivilligt arbejde
Jeg fremsætter hypotesen, at stabilt frivilligt arbejde over længere tidsperioder afhænger af de kapitalressourcer der medbringes til arbejdet, den livsfase arbejdet foregår i, samt den organisatoriske kontekst arbejdet udføres inden for. Hypotesen testes ved hjælp af paneldata fra befolk-ningsundersøgelsen af frivilligt arbejde ’04 og ’12. Jeg konkluderer, at selvom enkelte kapitalressourcer og livsfaser har en indflydelse, så er det de organisa…
