- W3021776201 abstract "Volunteerism contributes significantly to the social development of a country. Although the rate of volunteerism has steadily increased over the years, the numbers of regular volunteers remains small. While the existing literature has elucidated individuals' motivations for volunteerism, research is lacking on their motivations and challenges in sustaining long-term volunteerism. A focused ethnographic approach was adopted in this study to explore 20 participants' motivations and challenges towards long-term volunteerism. Purposive sampling was used to recruit participants in one single-family service centre in Singapore from October to December 2018. Data were collected through covert observations and semi-structured interviews. Field notes, observational data and findings from the interviews were triangulated and analysed through thematic analysis. In this study, a central exhaustive description of the volunteers ‘providing help while receiving good deeds’ is established. This was supported with three main themes revolving around the volunteers: fulfilling life goals, deriving meaning from experiences and striking a balance in the life. These themes characterised the motivations and challenges faced by them amidst their voluntary works. They reported that the satisfaction and fulfilment through volunteering had brought personal growth, well-being and happiness to them. The sense of purpose through volunteering further enhanced their experiences. Finally, some volunteers reported that volunteering enabled them to strike a balance in their own life by engaging it as a form of solace. The findings suggest that sustained volunteerism is a multidimensional construct involving the interplay of different factors in the individual's life. By understanding motivations underlying long-term volunteerism, voluntary organisations can create volunteering opportunities that dovetail with volunteers' personal goals, thus boosting their satisfaction and incentivising their sustained engagement. Additionally, the organisations can hold regular bonding activities to promote rapport among their volunteers, beneficiaries and staff, thus encouraging the volunteers to persevere on their volunteering journey." @default.
