The Work–Home Interface
An abundance of research shows the benefits of participation in volunteer work for individuals, employers and the society as a whole. However, relatively little is known about the precursors of volunteer work. In this study, we aim to fill this gap by investigating to what extent work‐related well‐being can function as a driver of volunteer work. Moreover, building on the Conservations of Resources Theory (Hobfoll, , ), we propose that the relati…

Exploring the Interaction Between Volunteering Status, Paid Job Characteristics and Quality of Volunteers’ Motivation on Mental Health
The literature on the health-promoting effects of community work has primarily dealt with the population in retirement age, yet the vast majority of volunteers are people still in the workforce. The aim of this study is to observe the relationship between volunteering and health within the context of working life, considering paid work conditions and motives to volunteer as moderating variables. We conducted an online survey with a sample of Swis…
How the Organizational Context Impacts Volunteers
The aim of the present study was to examine how the organizational context of a non-profit organization (NPO) influences the motivation and work behaviors of volunteers. We hypothesized that the organizational context—operationalized by the motivational potential of the tasks, autonomy supportiveness of the supervisor, and value congruence between volunteer and NPO—can benefit or thwart self-determined motivation, which in turn predicts work enga…
Beyond Skills and Structure
Community involvement is usually attributed to opportunity structures and individuals' ability to be involved. Building on psychological justice research, this paper proposes that justice dispositions add to explaining why young citizens become active in their communities or not. Furthermore, it is argued that justice dispositions help to understand why most studies find only moderate relationships between youth volunteering and forms of politica…
How Dare to Demand This from Volunteers! The Impact of Illegitimate Tasks
The present study examined the effect of illegitimate tasks (Semmer et al. Appl Psychol Int Rev 59:70–96, 2010) within the volunteer context. A total of 191 Red Cross volunteers were surveyed to reveal the impact of unreasonable and unnecessary tasks on the volunteers’ work engagement and intent to remain at the non-profit organization (NPO). To shed light on the process through which illegitimate tasks affect outcomes, the mediating role of self…
Linking Autonomy-Supportive Leadership to Volunteer Satisfaction
This study examines the development of volunteer satisfaction within the framework of self-determination theory (SDT). Therewith, autonomy-supportive leadership—as an influential part of the organizational context—is studied as an antecedent of volunteer satisfaction. The hypothesized model suggests that the link between autonomy-supportive leadership and volunteer satisfaction is serially mediated by general need satisfaction and autonomous moti…

Freiwilligenarbeit als Bürger oder Mitarbeitende
Die Erwerbsarbeit ist in der heutigen Arbeitsgesellschaft weiterhin „Dreh und Angelpunkt für die Lebensorientierung der Einzelnen und das Gemeinwesen insgesamt“ (Senghaas-Knobloch, 1999, S. 119), trotz des häufig diskutierten Wertewandels. Indessen greift die ausschließliche Betrachtung der Erwerbsarbeit in einer Arbeitsgesellschaft zu kurz und wird den verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Tätigkeitsfeldern nicht gerecht (Peters, Güntert & Wehner, 20…
Arbeits-, Organisations- und Wirtschaftspsychologie
Die Arbeits- und Organisationspsychologie (AO-Psychologie, früher zusammen mit der Betriebs- oder Ingenieurspsychologie, heute zunehmend mit der Wirtschaftspsychologie) ist ein Sammelbegriff für verschiedene überlappende Felder der Angewandten Psychologie, die sich mit der Situation und Rolle des Menschen im Arbeits- und Wirtschaftsleben befassen. Sie lässt sich von psychologischen Teildisziplinen abgrenzen, die sich auf andere Funktionssysteme d…
