Motywy współczesnych wolontariuszy w aspekcie różnic pokoleniowych
Motives of contemporary volunteers in the aspect of generational differences

Summary/Abstract: The phenomenon of voluntary work is a very important element in individual and social life. Considering the problem from individual perspective, the author made an empirical attempt to find the answers to the following research questions: What motives to get engaged in voluntary work guided the subjects? Is there a significant generational difference as for the preferred motives? The study was conducted in a group of 60 volunteers (83.3% of women) who represented three stages of adulthood: early, middle, and late adulthood. Two examination tools were applied: a survey examining the motives for becoming a volunteer, and a form for personal details. The obtained data were analysed with the application of percentage distributions.
