Bibliography: leaves 241-295 / Text in English with summaries in English, Afrikaans and Setswana / This study, to enhance understanding of volunteer well-being and to develop a
conceptual model of volunteer well-being through an in-depth exploration of
volunteers’ work–life experiences, was guided by an interest in volunteering as well
as curiosity about well-being as a concept. My perception of the importance of
volunteering for our society was based on first-hand knowledge of a volunteering
context operating in the Gauteng health sector, as well as the volunteering literature,
which confirmed its importance and encouraged me to conduct research on this
resource. The literature on well-being highlights its importance for employees in
particular and organisations in general and thus justifies the study. The literature also
supported my preference for conducting this research on volunteer well-being from a
qualitative perspective. Further motivation for the research was provided by my
awareness of the challenging nature of the volunteering context as well as the adverse
personal circumstances of the volunteers. Accordingly, recognising the importance of
well-being in volunteers, I was prompted to dedicate attention to this dynamic work
context.
To achieve its aim, in this research I applied a qualitative research approach and a
hermeneutic (interpretive) phenomenological research methodology. In-depth
interviews were used to explore the work–life experiences of eight volunteers and a
phenomenological hermeneutical analytic process was used to analyse the data. The
data were further contextualised and the findings supported by the relevant well-being
literature. Based on the findings, a conceptual model of volunteer well-being was
constructed. This model enhances our understanding of volunteer well-being,
ultimately contributing to knowledge and practice in the field of volunteering. / Die hoofdoel van hierdie studie was om die begrip van vrywilligerswelstand te
bevorder en om ’n konseptuele model van vrywilligerswelstand te ontwikkel
deur ’n omvattende ondersoek van vrywilligers se werklewe-ervarings. Die
studie was gelei deur ’n belangstelling in vrywilligerswerk en ‘n nuuskierigheid oor
welstand as ’n konsep. My waarneming van die belangrikheid van vrywilligerswerk vir
ons samelewing is gebaseer op eerstehandse kennis van ’n vrywilligerskonteks in die
Gautengse gesondheidsektor en die literatuur oor vrywilligersdienslewering, wat die
belangrikheid daarvan bevestig het en my aangemoedig het om navorsing oor hierdie
hulpbron te doen. Die literatuur oor welstand beklemtoon veral die belangrikheid
daarvan vir werknemers en organisasies oor die algemeen, en regverdig dus die
studie. Die literatuur het ook my voorkeur om hierdie navorsing oor vrywilligers se
welstand vanuit ’n kwalitatiewe perspektief te benader, ondersteun. My bewustheid
van die uitdagende aard van die vrywilligerskonteks asook die ongunstige persoonlike
omstandighede van die vrywilligers het my verder gemotiveer om die navorsing te
doen. Dienooreenkomstig, as erkenning van die belangrikheid daarvan om vrywilligers
se welstand te fasiliteer, is ek geïnspireer om aandag te skenk aan hierdie dinamiese
werkskonteks.
Om hierdie doel te bereik het ek ’n kwalitatiewe navorsingsbenadering en ’n
hermeneutiese (verklarende) fenomenologiese navorsingsmetodologie in hierdie
navorsingsprojek gebruik. Indiepte onderhoude is gebruik om die werklewe-ervarings
van agt vrywilligers te ondersoek, en ’n fenomenologiese, hermeneutiese, analitiese
proses is gebruik om die data te ontleed. Die data is verder gekontekstualiseer en die
bevindings is deur die tersaaklike literatuur ondersteun. ’n Konseptuele model van
vrywilligerwelstand is op grond van hierdie bevindinge opgestel. Hierdie model
bevorder ons begrip van vrywilligerswelstand, en lewer sodoende ’n bydrae tot die
kennis en ervaring op die terrein van vrywilligerswerk. / Thutopatlisiso eno ya go tlhama sekao sa kgopolo sa boithaopi go tswa mo
