Exploring the value orientation may contribute to an understanding of why certain people participate in volunteer work whereas others do not. The aim of this paper is to describe the value orientation of Czech volunteers and explore if and how it differs from a representative sample of general Czech population. A value orientation was measured by Portrait Values Questionnaire (PVQ). The results of this empirical study showed that: (1) the most preferred value types among volunteers are self-direction, benevolence, and universalism; and (2) the higher-order value types preferred by volunteers significantly differ from the representative sample of general Czech population.

The aim of this paper is to present engaged anthropology and its methodological tools with a specific perspective of the research field and the position of the researcher with regard to research subjects. The study focuses on corporate volunteering as one of the forms of collaboration between the non-profit and the private sectors seeking solutions to social problems and community development. Volunteering projects contribute to the interlinking of the knowledge, skills, experience and resources of corporate employees and the representatives of the non-profit or the public sector. It is a part of the philanthropic strategy of companies which are willing to present themselves as entities responsible towards the environment in which they run their business, and towards their employees, partners and customers. Engaged anthropology can bring, through its methodological tools, a new perspective of corporate volunteering. Community-based participatory research on the process of knowledge creation includes all partners on an equal basis and identifies their unique contribution to problem solution and community development

The author presents volunteering as a means of active ageing and as an original (not only residual) sector of society. She describes two complementary aspects of volunteering in an active ageing context: (1) volunteering of older people, and (2) volunteering for older people. Within both aspects, the positions of older people as the subjects and objects of voluntary work can change. The author defines the interconnectivity of both aspects as an “object-subject volunteering chain“ based on a life course perspective, particularly referring to volunteering in the long-term care sector. Based on a secondary analysis of available research findings and sources, she summarises some distinctive characteristics of older people operating in the voluntary long-term care sector. A discussion of findings follows, and finally, some recommendations for how to establish age-friendly public support for volunteering are given.

It is shown on the example of one of the contemporary forms of volunteering − "Adopt your flower pot". The attention during this project is not only pointed at the forming of local patriotism and the aesthetic of the places we're living in, but also on creating social contacts (neighbourly contact, generational contact).

This article investigates volunteering as a specific interdisciplinary topic connected with civil society studies. It shows that the main body of literature treats volunteering in postcommunist countries as nonexistent or inauthentic. The year 1989 is viewed as a major turning point, after which volunteering developed anew from scratch. This article is based on twelve interviews with current volunteers that focused on their interpretation of the volunteering experience before and after 1989. The article shows that volunteering pre- and post-1989 may be framed as part of a continuous story. Interpreting the year 1989 as a break in development and a new beginning is based on a specific definition of volunteering as a part of civil society. Any description of volunteering before 1989 involves agreeing on a definition of volunteering. Volunteers refer to ‘hobby’ and ‘high-level’ volunteering, a dichotomous definition that on the one hand enables (or disables) talk about volunteering before 1989 and on the other relates to current discussions about the essence (core) of volunteering and its social value.

The role of volunteering serving the needy. Reading the signs of time, the Church regards the voluntary organizations as a new form of missionary activity for and of the faithful; what needs to be remarked, however, is that volunteering engages both believers and non-believers, for whom it provides an opportunity for social involvement for the benefit of a community. At present newer and newer forms of volunteering are developing at a fast speed. Especially popular are cultural, educational, ecological or even media volunteering types, which bring close difficult life problems of certain communities with a view to making others active and thus leading to an ultimate solution thereof. Also, forms of volunteering work are undergoing a process of change. The present study is an attempt at an in-depth analysis of the phenomenon of volunteering from the perspective of missionary and social involvement of people for the benefit of the whole community. Volunteering is one of the biggest chances for a humanization of history; how the chance is going to be taken advantage of, however, is up to us.

This paper focuses on volunteering behaviour, as an expression of a participative culture. The authors are interested in the cultural and social determinants of volunteering, both at individual level, but mainly at the aggregate (country) level. We note that the phenomenon has a lower incidence in the ex-communist countries as compared to the occidental democracies, and try to explain the discrepancies through cultural traditions, globalization and the economic background. The authors pay special attention to the relation between volunteering and social capital, in Central and Eastern Europe. They use multi-level regression models and the European/ World Values Survey data collected in 1999 – 2000 to provide evidence on a common post-Communist culture which tends to decrease the individuals propensity to volunteer.

It’s believed that older people are potentially rich source of volunteers and volunteering is perceived as beneficial for both society and individuals. Due to the ageing of the population, the influence of individual ageing on volunteering has become crucial. The age and cohort connections of volunteering in Czech society are explored in this paper. Moreover, the factors leading to volunteering are researched using binary logistic regression. Focus is put on changes over time and differences between older people and younger ones. The findings do not show differences in volunteering based on age but demonstrate that the attitudes supported by productive ageing and active ageing concepts are influential. The rate of volunteering in Czech society has not changed since the beginning of the 90s.
