Motivation in Voluntary Organizations

A survey of 6 voluntary bodies in colleges has been conducted asking them know their motivation for working in voluntary bodies, which helped us in formulating a hypothesis regarding the impact of work ethics, vision of body, team spirit factors on student’s motivation.

The paper shows the details of motivation for the students in a particular body on different year, position, performance, personality, freedom etc. factors and how it is related to job satisfaction more than working in any other monetary organisation.  The motivating factors of each of the above mentioned bodies will then be linked to the existing social, environmental, intellectual, cultural, developmental, and various other variables through tabular and graphical analysis. The results obtained from the above methodology will further be compared for the 5 bodies highlighting the impact of above mentioned factors on the choice and preferences of students.

The paper attempted to seek the above information through well planned questionnaire which was uploaded on the internet by means of Google form to be answered by various students of the 6 voluntary organisations. The responses were recorded and deeply analysed in order to draw the conclusions and build concrete results.

The results also demonstrate the main reasons why students like to spend their time doing volunteering activities in colleges and why some of them want to continue with the same post college life as a mainstream career and the reason behind the rising percentage of such students!
