Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to unite research on migration patterns and job and community embeddedness to examine how the distance an employee has relocated to take a job affects voluntary turnover behavior and how that behavior is impacted by both on-the-job and off-the-job factors. Design/methodology/approach This paper tests these relationships in a longitudinal field study of 2,297 engineers. Findings The distance an employee relocates for a job has an impact on their voluntary turnover behavior, and one form of embeddedness (educational reimbursement) moderates the distance–voluntary turnover relationship. In addition, direct effects of other types of embeddedness reduce the likelihood of voluntary turnover (assimilation programs and employee contributions to local non-profits). Practical implications This paper provides practitioners with information to supplement employee retention activities through the use of company-offered benefits. Originality/value By finding support for the hypothesis that employees who relocated a greater distance from where they earned their last degree are more likely to voluntarily terminate their employment, support was found for a link between turnover models and repeat migration. Support was also found for company-offered benefits as forms of embeddedness, reducing voluntary turnover behavior.

Abstract:

The earliest Christian monasticism falls within the definition of voluntary religious societies since it was not the product of institutional reform in the Church directed by bishops or councils. The founders of fourth-century Egyptian monasticism undertook their task voluntarily and without episcopal constraint. As the founders of voluntary and at first unofficial associations, they deserve our attention. I shall examine some aspects of the sources for the life of one, Pachomios of Tabennesi (c.292–346).

Abstract:

Abstract This article studies the community’s inappropriate volunteer structure. An examination of the questionnaire of a community in Beijing shows the youth are indeed absent from the voluntary service of their community, but it is not because the youth lack the will or motivation to join in the voluntary service. Actually, it is closely related to the insufficient supply of the voluntary service in the community, which is mainly attributable to the bureaucratization of the community committee. Under the precondition of keeping the current social management system unchanged, to spur more youth on to join in the volunteer team of their community has to rely on upgrading related social techniques to enhance the community’s voluntary service supply capability.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to examine the compulsory volunteering experience under the Soviet regime and highlight specific reasons, which keep individuals away from getting involved in activities in voluntary organizations. The paper examines the factors, which keep individuals away from joining voluntary organizations, and examines what influence the experience of compulsory volunteering has. A qualitative research approach has been chosen. Respondents were individuals born between 1945 and 1965 and lived under the Soviet regime. 30 interviews were conducted with individuals who have not been involved in voluntary organizations.The results reveal the understanding of the concept of volunteering, the factors, which keep individuals away from volunteering, and what role the experience of compulsory volunteering has played. Voluntary organizations can use the results in order to encourage potential volunteers to join their voluntary organizations.

Abstract:

Blood transfusion service is a health care effort that utilizes human blood as a basic ingredient with humanitarian purposes and not for commercial purposes. Blood transfusion services as one of the health efforts in order to cure disease and health recovery desperately require the availability of blood or adequate blood components, safe, accessible and affordable by the community. Each blood transfusion unit has a responsibility to meet the availability of blood in its working area. Blood availability is highly dependent on the willingness and awareness of people to donate their blood voluntarily and regularly. To achieve this, blood transfusion units need to conduct donor recruitment activities which include socialization efforts and campaign of voluntary blood donor, donor deployment and donor preservation. The need for blood is increasing in this world where 1 patient from 7 patients who are hospitalized requires a blood transfusion. Imbalance between blood supply and blood needs is increasing in the world. Currently only in 62 countries, blood supplies of 100% are derived from voluntary blood donors and 40 other countries still depend on family darai donors and paid blood donors. From the results of location analysis and info from blood transfusion Unit RS, Dr. Setomo, Surabaya PMI about the problems of lack of blood stocks at a certain moment, then make us perform a lack of public awareness about the blood Donor This, thereby giving our infiration to give intervention, counseling, convey that being a blood Donor can increase the stamina and occurrence of new erythrocytes, which can facilitate blood circulation and make the body healthier. Plan, create a community Web Site that is interested in becoming a voluntary blood Donor, so that the community is moved to become a voluntary blood Donor, of course not be separated must fulfill the requirements that the blood donation is worthy as Blood and healthy Donor, appropriate Perturan. Install Bener on a specific place, make a bag, T-shirt, key toy, a zipper box, and other knacks that can be used as the community Logo voluntary blood donor, in hopes of increasing the necessary blood stocks society. From the new results we perform to attract voluntary blood donors. Through the appeal to come to the counseling and to share Leaflet only at this early stage, there have been obtained result of increased blood stock from the results of voluntary blood donation after Community service. Obtained significant results, where there is an increase in the amount of blood in PMI, after the implementation of blood donation. There is an increase in blood stocks at that time as much as 40-50%, from the results of community devotion.

Abstract:

The New Zealand Corrections Division has historically used the voluntary social work sector as a means of regulating criminality ‘at a distance’. Shifts in the modes through which the Division has related to the voluntary sector are analyzed here using Santos' form of legal-pluralist theory. That theory suggests that innovative forms of legal regulation are created when divergent modes of law interpenetrate one another. These new modes of legal power then attempt to regulate sociality by constructing the subjectivity of those with which they interact. This article suggests that the Corrections Division is itself characterised by dual forms of subjectivity, namely communitarian and proceduralist. The tension between these has become evident as the Division has sought to inculcate a proceduralist subjectivity within the voluntary sector, so as to construct voluntary sector agencies as self-regulating subjects. The tension exists between the Division's need to use the voluntary sector as a means by which it can regulate criminality, and to construct and respect that sector as an autonomous entity. Moreover, the imposition of a proceduralist subjectivity, because it is an imposition, has the potential to diminish the ability of those agencies to control crime and/or to critique its social construction.

Abstract:

ObjectiveTo examine the forms, scale and role of community and voluntary support for community hospitals in England.DesignA multimethods study. Quantitative analysis of Charity Commission data on levels of volunteering and voluntary income for charities supporting community hospitals. Nine qualitative case studies of community hospitals and their surrounding communities, including interviews and focus groups.SettingCommunity hospitals in England and their surrounding communities.ParticipantsCharity Commission data for 245 community hospital Leagues of Friends. Interviews with staff (89), patients (60), carers (28), volunteers (35), community representatives (20), managers and commissioners (9). Focus groups with multidisciplinary teams (8 groups across nine sites, involving 43 respondents), volunteers (6 groups, 33 respondents) and community stakeholders (8 groups, 54 respondents).ResultsCommunities support community hospitals through: human resources (average=24 volunteers a year per hospital); financial resources (median voluntary income = £15 632); practical resources through services and activities provided by voluntary and community groups; and intellectual resources (eg, consultation and coproduction). Communities provide valuable supplementary resources to the National Health Service, enhancing community hospital services, patient experience, staff morale and volunteer well-being. Such resources, however, vary in level and form from hospital to hospital and over time: voluntary income is on the decline, as is membership of League of Friends, and it can be hard to recruit regular, active volunteers.ConclusionsCommunities can be a significant resource for healthcare services, in ways which can enhance patient experience and service quality. Harnessing that resource, however, is not straight forward and there is a perception that it might be becoming more difficult questioning the extent to which it can be considered sustainable or ‘renewable’.

Abstract:

It is 25 years since the Royal Commission on Medical Education recommended that “every psychiatrist should be familiar with the conduct of community psychiatry”. This is now more important than ever. As the National Health Service and Community Care Act (1990) comes into force and community care initiatives are developed throughout the country, psychiatrists are at risk of being left behind. To be effective players in these developments, psychiatrists need to be armed with a thorough knowledge and understanding of the workings of community care. Training future consultants in all aspects of community care must be a continual priority.

Abstract:

Purpose – Living wage campaigns are popular responses to counter increasing inequality in advanced industrial countries. The purpose of this paper is to examine how voluntary living wage employer certification engages business in multi-sectoral coalitions to reduce poverty. Design/methodology/approach – The authors utilize qualitative interviews with 30 members of a living wage employer certification program in Vancouver, Canada as a case study to explore campaign participation by the business community and business case outcomes. Findings – Certifying voluntary living wage employers engaged business community members as partners and advocates in a living wage campaign. Certified living wage employers fulfilled business case projections for worker compensation fairness, human resource improvements and corporate branding advantages. Research limitations/implications – The study focussed on the early stages of a living wage employer certification program. As the number of living wage certification programs and ordinances grows, future research would benefit from examining how different social policy contexts in other Canadian and international regions affects whether these two avenues support one another or one avenue becomes favoured. Originality/value – Most studies of living wage campaigns have not dealt with how voluntary employer certification programs affect campaign participation and outcomes. The approach the authors adopt in the case takes into account the role of voluntary employer certification programs on campaign participation by the business community and business case outcomes. The study findings are of value to businesses, activists and policy analysts, who engage in or study corporate social responsibility initiatives to facilitate the creation of “good jobs” that provide family sustaining wages and benefits, particularly to lower-tier workers.

Abstract:

Purpose: The present study aimed to identify the role of voluntary work in improving the social capital and enhancing sustainable development in the Saudi community. Methodology: Participants were (245) volunteers who were members of the Saudi Volunteer Organization (Takatuf). Their ages were between (20-26) years and were all dwelling in Riyadh. The descriptive survey method was used and the main study instrument was a questionnaire developed by the researchers. Main Findings: Analysis of the gathered data to answer the main two questions in the study revealed that voluntary work has a significant role in improving the social capital and achieving sustainable development in the Saudi community. Novelty/Originality of this study: In light of these findings, this study showed the importance of urging people in charge to seriously take into consideration this vital issue related to voluntary work and provide all possible support to institutions of voluntary work in Saudi Arabia in order to help to spread the culture of voluntary work. Moreover, people in charge were recommended to view voluntary work from the perspective of its effective contribution to the development of the social capital and achievement of sustainable development within the community, rather than the perspective of voluntary work as a charitable action.

Abstract:

SYNOPSIS This paper proposes a voluntary income-reporting regime, in which firms could choose whether to publish an income statement. Firms choosing not to issue it would report fund flows in a cash flow statement employing the direct method, similar to the cash flow statement advocated by Ohlson et al. (2010). Voluntary income reporting is motivated by managers' numerous motives to manipulate earnings, recent research challenging the value relevance of earnings compared to cash flows, and costs of auditing income, including litigation risk. Another motivation for voluntary income reporting is rising investor dissatisfaction with reported earnings, but unlike many critics in the investing community, the paper does not claim that earnings do not have significant information value. Rather, given recent developments, it is worth reconsidering whether the benefits of reporting accrual earnings exceed the costs for all firms.

Abstract:

AbstractAlthough the United States has been impacted by numerous devastating disasters over the last 10 years, there have been only limited efforts between the governmental and non-profit/voluntary organizations to meet the multiple disaster health and mental health needs of the community. Too often, responding organizations compete to provide services, duplicate efforts, and frequently under-estimate the need for services.Recent efforts have been undertaken by The American Red Cross and other groups to resolve this issue. Governmental and community-based organizations have been invited to participate in planning sessions to pre-identify roles and responsibilities, as well as to exchange key information about the services each group can and does provide.These efforts have lead to an increased awareness of the potential problems and the development of cohesive plans to provide medical and emotional support services to impacted communities. This has led to improved care for those with serious injuries or psychological crisis, while those with less critical problems have been managed appropriately without needing to be immediately referred to overcrowded emergency departments or physician's offices.

Community Health Centres (CHCs) are grounded in a model of care that includes engagement with the community and have a history of working with communities to respond to emerging needs. Although most CHCs consider themselves to be integrated, mergers in this sector are uncommon. In Ontario, the first voluntary merger of CHCs showed the importance of community engagement to realize the intended benefits of the integration and to effectively manage change.

AbstractThe voluntary and community sector in England is playing an increasingly important role in the delivery of public services to older adults and in doing so they rely on unpaid volunteers. In this article, we draw on the findings of a recent qualitative study of the impact on the voluntary and community sector of delivering ‘low-level’ public services that promote independent living and wellbeing in old age. The fieldwork focused on services that help older adults aged 70+ living in remote rural communities across three English regions. Those charged with service delivery, which is increasingly the voluntary and community sector, face particular challenges, such as uncertain funding regimes and reliance on volunteer labour.

Understanding related to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), in general, always revolves around three main things, namely voluntary (voluntary), companies can also set aside a part of their profits to be used in the context of philanthropy, and as a form of obligation. ) company. These three things during this pandemic were used as an excuse for force majeure. Even though the company is still able to carry out the normal production process as usual. The method used is descriptive qualitative analysis method with literature study. When the enforced new normal is, the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) can carry out its duties again as before by implementing health protocols by complying with the rules of the late stipulated SOP. The existence of a pandemic is a great opportunity for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to be actively involved during the crisis and to become a catalyst for a new era in the development of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) for the long term.

The ‘ChangeUp’ and ‘FutureBuilders initiatives have provided substantial funding to support and facilitate ‘capacity building’ in voluntary and community organisations and so enable them to contribute to the achievement of public and social policy goals. This paper builds on findings from a study of an early ‘capacity-building’ programme delivered between 1998 and 2005. We explore the challenges of implementing such initiatives for voluntary sector intermediary bodies involved in delivering them and for the voluntary and community organisations intended as the main beneficiaries. We conclude with a discussion about the implications for policy implementation.

Abstract:

Purpose – This paper reports on research into the employment of older workers, paid and unpaid, in the voluntary sector. It draws on six case studies which were the research focus. The research was designed to test the hypothesis that the voluntary sector has been in the forefront of utilising the knowledge, skills and talents of older workers and to draw out practical guidance for other organisations in this and other sectors. Design/methodology/approach – The author consulted over 30 people with a known interest in older workforce issues and/or employment in the voluntary sector and, from these discussions, identified six organisations to be the subject of structured telephone interviews. The interviewees were all at chief executive or senior management level. Findings – The research confirmed that older workers, whether they are paid employees or volunteers, are of great value to the voluntary sector. This is because of their life experience and skills and, particularly in the case of volunteers, their availability and flexibility. The six organisations on which the research focused provided excellent examples of good practice. However, this does not generally involve employment policies and practices with a specific focus on older workers but, rather, policies and practices which embrace older workers. Originality/value – Earlier research has usually focused on the private and public sectors. South East England Forum on Ageing wanted this project to focus specifically on the voluntary sector and this decision was vindicated by the fact that, in searching the literature and discussions with authorities, the author did not identify previous research on older workers specifically focused on this sector.

Abstract:

This study investigated the effects of residential relocation in a sample of 282 high-risk male offenders paroled from New Zealand prisons. Initially we compared those returning to their old neighborhoods ( devil you know) and those released to a new location ( fresh start). This second category was then further divided: those released to a new location voluntarily ( fresh start-voluntary) versus those forced to start anew at the behest of the parole board that was releasing them ( fresh start-duress). All three categories were then compared on the quality of their community experiences and recidivism. Results indicated that parolees returning by choice to either their old neighborhood or a new location each were reconvicted in the first year after release at approximately the same rate; however, parolees relocating to a new area at the direction of the parole board (under duress) were reconvicted at a higher rate than those in either of the voluntary location categories. Significant group differences in ratings of community life quality were few, but there were some indications that compared with those choosing to return to a familiar location, making a voluntary residential relocation may lead to better parole experiences, particularly in terms of avoiding criminal peers, and that making a residential relocation under duress may lead to poorer parole experiences than for those returning to a familiar location.

Abstract:

In an online community, users can interact with fellow community members by voluntarily contributing to existing discussion threads or by starting new threads. In practice, however, the vast majority of a community’s users (∼90%) remain inactive (lurk), simply observing contributions made by intermittent (∼9%) and heavy (∼1%) contributors. Our research examines increases and decreases of types of user engagement in online communities, characterizing user engagement based on trace user activity or lack of activity. Some lurkers later become workers (i.e., engaged in the community), but some will not. Differentiating lurkers who can be engaged from those who cannot enables managers to anticipate and proactively direct their resources toward the users who are most likely to become or remain workers (i.e., heavy contributors), thereby promoting community welfare. Our research, based on analysis of 533,714 posts from an online diabetes community, can thus guide managerial interventions to increase online community welfare.

Abstract:

This paper describes the chemical industry's Community Awareness and Emergency Response (CAER) Program, and voluntary and mandatory actions by the chemical industry to comply with the major environmental legislation. The chemical industry started the voluntary CAER Program soon after the Bhopal Disaster in 1984; it is coordinated through the Chemical Manufacturer's Association. This program, which began in March 1985, is a long-term industry commitment to develop a community outreach program and to improve local emergency response planning. The Congress of the United States began, in 1985, to consider proposals for mandatory programs. This led to enactment of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986, known as SARA. A portion of this Act, entitled Title III is also known as the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act. Although this legislation has many mandatory requirements, it should be emphasized that a significant degree of voluntary industrial participation is needed if the purposes of the statute are to be achieved. Title III has created an intricate and still evolving system that ties together the EPA, industrial plant managers, state emergency response commissions, local emergency planning committees and fire departments with jurisdiction over the facility. Each of these groups has a different role and responsibilities but must work cooperatively with other participants. Because of the intricate network of participants, the magnitude of the information flow, and the continuing evolution of the system, unique public relations problems exist in order to comply with Title III. While understanding demands that we know the nature of the statutory system and how to deal with the basics of the system, in the last analysis the measure of that understanding is to be found in the realities of the daily operations of the plant and the on-going life of the community in which it is embedded. Actions that are responsible, unfamiliar and even costly are needed. In some ways, the response to this legislation can be viewed as a test of whether the nation can find a way to assert collegiality through joint and voluntary efforts rather than becoming adversaries in courts or legislatures.

Abstract:

A recent consultation by the European Commission on a draft code of conduct for the voluntary and community sector to combat illegal political activities highlights the regulation of the sector. This paper considers the European Commission’s code in light of the current regulation for charities and the wider voluntary and community sector, questioning whether sector-specific regulation of political activities is achievable and how such regulation could be best achieved.

Abstract:

This paper reports on a recent pilot project by the English government aimed at introducing ‘single pot’ funding for local voluntary and community groups. It finds that implementation difficulties undermined the success of the scheme. Moreover, whilst local voluntary and community groups were initially enthusiastic about the scheme, this was eroded both by the shortfall in funding for the initiative and by conflicting priorities for it from its national and regional flinders and from local groups.

Abstract:

This article describes the literature specific to partnership working across the National Health Service, social services and voluntary and community sector in order to summarise the potential advantages and challenges of partnerships. We explore the meaning of partnership working and review the policy developments and investment initiatives underpinning the Government's emphasis on partnership working between statutory services and the voluntary and community sector. A number of barriers hinder effective partnership working and we examine some possible solutions to overcome these. We then address the key issues influencing the approach to increasing the voluntary sector's participation in partnership activities within mental health services and provide brief examples of good practice. Finally, we discuss practical issues relevant to planning partnerships and the role consultant psychiatrists can play in initiating and developing partnership working between the voluntary sector and statutory mental health services.

Abstract:

In today's community development, capacity building and community capital developing through social-welfare programs and policies is prioritized for integrated implementation for building the self-help community. Especially the important role of voluntary groups in the community towards sustainable development. With the sample of 356 VSLA members, the survey results have brought out the solutions for improving the microfinance activities via VSLA model such as promoting the role of financial and financial management service providers; improving the role of commune-level in-charged officers and group leaders; enhancing the quality of VSLA’s activities; and developing VSLA members’ skills and capacities. These are important solutions to build community capacity and mobilize people's voluntary participation in activities that would help develop the community sustainably.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article presents a historical overview of the Chinese community in French Polynesia, from its initial structuring into associations at the end of the 19th century until the restructuring that occurred at the end of the 20th century. The use of a combination of models brings into relief the correlation between class differentiation and the relative importance of sharing the same surname and ties of affinity. The analysis highlights the link between the community's internal structure and the mode of organization of Chinese associations in the guise of real estate holdings. Until recently, leadership was entrusted to a limited number of wealthy merchants and their families who were shareholders in these holdings. The termination of this system in the 1990s was linked to the change in the mode of membership to the associations and to the wider Chinese community. The shift from compulsory membership to voluntary membership is evident with the emergence of new types of associations aimed at preserving Chinese cultural identity in French Polynesia, but it is also true in the case of clan associations. The way in which modes of affiliation to the associations changed over time reveals a correlative change in the way Chinese identity is expressed today.
