The Impact of Transformational Leadership on Nonprofit Volunteer Engagement and Commitment

Buck, Victoria Bohannon 01 January 2018 (has links)
Nonprofit leadership attributes exert a significant effect on the nonprofit volunteer workforce to provide optimal service delivery to communities. Meeting the local community demands challenges nonprofit leadership to model inspirational behavior and attitudes that may motivate workers to transcend personal aspirations to support organizational goals more effectively. The purpose of this quantitative, correlational study was to determine whether transformational leadership influences the level of commitment and engagement of volunteer workers in nonprofit organizations. A theoretical framework based on transformational leadership guided the research. The research questions addressed the relationships between transformational leadership and nonprofit volunteer engagement and commitment. A sample of 111 U.S. volunteers provided the data by completing an online survey containing questions from the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire 5X Short, the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, and the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire. Simple linear regression was used to test the relationship between the independent variable, transformational leadership, and the dependent variables, engagement and commitment and their subscales. The results indicated a significant positive relationship between transformational leadership and nonprofit volunteer engagement and commitment, and transformational leadership and 8 of 9 subscales of the dependent variables. Transformational leadership positively impacts social change by effectively motivating the nonprofit volunteer workforce, thereby enhancing service delivery to local communities.

LA MOTIVAZIONE NELLE ORGANIZZAZIONI NONPROFIT: UNO STUDIO SULLE ASSOCIAZIONI DI VOLONTARIATO / Motivation in Nonprofit organizations: a study on voluntary associations

PALUMBO, SONIA 09 June 2014 (has links)
La tesi affronta la questione delle motivazioni che possono spingere la persona a donare gratuitamente il proprio tempo a favore di un’organizzazione di volontariato. Tanto la tematica del nonprofit quanto quella della motivazioni al lavoro (che costituiscono i due punti focali dell’elaborato) sono trattati in un’ottica multidisciplinare presentando una breve rassegna dei principali contributi di studiosi afferenti ad ambiti scientifici eterogenei. Nell’ultima parte del lavoro viene presentata una ricerca condotta su 292 volontari della provincia di Monza e Brianza provenienti da tre associazioni di volontariato diverse per ambito di intervento e target di riferimento: ABIO, AUSER, Protezione Civile. Tramite un questionario, costruito partendo dallo studio di Carpenter e Myers (2007), si è analizzata la rilevanza di diverse categorie motivazionali che, secondo le precedenti ricerche condotte, possono avere una qualche influenza sulla scelta di essere un volontario (e di continuare ad esserlo): l’altruismo puro e impuro, la reputazione, la carriera, la socialità, la propensione al rischio e al risparmio, la religiosità, la familiarità, l’essere stato invitato esplicitamente da amici e conoscenti. L’ultima parte presenta i risultati dell’analisi dei dati da cui si evince la presenza di fattori self-oriented ed other-oriented che sostengono ed alimentano l’impegno prestato dai lavoratori non retribuiti . / This thesis deals with the volunteers's motivations and their effort in NGO.
