Abstract: | This study explored employee perceptions of participation in a corporate-sponsored volunteer initiative. Drawing on both questionnaire
and focus group data, this study reaffirms the importance of altruistic concerns as a key driver for employee involvement
in corporate- sponsored volunteering. Characteristics of the volunteering activity also emerged as important determinants
of employee’s initial engagement and ongoing motivation for involvement in corporate-sponsored volunteering. In the same
way that models of work design point to the value of enriched jobs, we see that there is scope to consider how corporate-sponsored
volunteer programmes can be enriched so that employees have satisfying experiences and are more likely to participate. Enhancing
perceptions of task significance and meaningfulness and incorporating relational elements into the volunteer activity seem
to be especially critical in this regard. |
