Abstract:

The article investigates the management of youth volunteers as human resources of the country. Theoretically, a research of young volunteer's motivation explains the essence of people's associations and collective actions. In practice, it provides opportunities for rationalization of volunteering management as an organizational resource (eg NGOs or social institutions). Theoretical review identified three global trends in volunteering connected with the motivation of volunteers: a) individualization of volunteering (change of actors), b) pragmatism and rationalization of volunteer activities, c) changes in the institutional context. The ratio of egoism and altruism in the volunteers' actions is a key issue of volunteering research. The article presents survey results of young volunteers (18-30 years old) in Sverdlovsk Region (N-600, 2014). Data analysis allowed to identify and describe three types of volunteers: `altruists', `egoists' and `volunteers with mixed motives'. This type has been described using discriminant analysis. We assume that motivation of young Russian volunteers includes both altruistic and egoistic causes, and their actions are piecemeal. According to our findings, the features of young Russian volunteers correspond to the global trend. We showed that the specifics of volunteer activity, its inclusion in NPO sector is the source of changing volunteers and their motivation.
