Resumo(s)
The purpose of this paper is to identify the different types of motivations in
hospital volunteers. We present a literature review about different types of motivation
and we collect data from hospital volunteers through a questionnaire. Four different
motivation categories are identified: development and learning, altruism, career
recognition and belonging and protection. The main motivations expressed are
development and learning, followed by altruism. Belonging and protection, followed
by career recognition are the least cited motivations. Career recognition is negatively
correlated with age, and belonging/ protection is negatively correlated with education.
That is, younger volunteers present more career recognition motives and less
educated volunteers have more from protection and belonging. This study encompasses hospital volunteers and their motivations. The paper is useful to policy makers aiming to develop targeted approaches to attracting and retaining volunteers.
