Volunteers from corporations: Work cultures reflect values similar to the voluntary organization's

In: Nonprofit management & leadership, Band 5, Heft 4, S. 359-375

Abstract

AbstractThe way people perceive the culture of the organizations where they are employed may shape their perceptions of their role as volunteers. This study of 201 managers and other professionals suggests that their perceptions of their work organizations as sociocentric or egocentric are related to their motives, attitudes, and performance in a voluntary organization. Implications for voluntary agency administrators include the identification of work organizations whose cultures reflect values similar to those of the voluntary organization.
