Full textVolunteering in sport has, according to studies, become a problem as it becomes harder for sports associations to recruit and maintain their volunteers. Factors such as burdensome tasks and lack of time are some of the reasons that have been raised about the problem of volunteering. The purpose of this study is to investigate what is affecting the motivation of board members to work voluntarily. We have obtained inspiration from grounded theory and conducted eight semistructured interviews with board members in various non-profit organisations to achieve the results of our study. As we only obtained inspiration from grounded theory, the study has been supplemented with a theory section to strengthen the analysis of our empirical data. After these eight interviews we experienced a saturation in our empirical data as the answers did not lead to any new information. With the collected data, we identified five categories that affect the motivation of these board members to work voluntarily. The five categories produced in our study resulted in a core category that we considered to be more prominent than the others, and four subcategories, all of which are related to our core category. The core category is referred to in this study as "connection to the organisation". In this study we have found these categories to be crucial factors for what makes members of the board work voluntarily for non-profit organisations. The subcategories that we have identified are solidarity, children and youth, noticing and the survival of the association. This study is based on Swedish conditions.

Full textThis thesis discusses the civil society engagement in the relationship between France and Germany between 1989 and 2013, with an outlook until 2017. Its objective is to study the role, the organisation and the transnational character of six Franco-German associations in the face of European integration and globalisation. By showing the importance of civil society engagement, this thesis questions the place of the Franco-German relationship in our contemporary society. The multidisciplinarity of this thesis demands the application of different methodological approaches. The analysis of empirical data through the examination of the associations' archives is particularly important in order to show the development of the initiatives. First, the material is analysed by the categories (1) communication, (2) program conception/main topics, (3) networking and (4) professionalization/innovation potential, which reveal different challenges such as the ageing of the members. Then, the thesis explores the importance of individual social capital (Bourdieu) for an association disposed by key personalities as well as the collective social capital (Putnam) generated by these associations. Not only the relations the associations are maintaining within the Franco-German network but also the connections key personalities have outside of the binational space are important for the visibility, wages and social utility of the initiatives (Gadrey). Finally, the thesis asks if these associations could be characterized as heterotopy (Foucault), which evokes a particular habitus by creating a Franco-German self-conception. The analysis therefore attempts to show the importance of a transnational association network

Full textIn this thesis, a study of how Swedish sports associations in rural areas are affected by the societal changes which the advent of the post-modern society has brought is declared. The studied data has been collected through qualitative interviews and thenceforth analyzed through the research method grounded theory. The informants who have participated in the study are all active in sports clubs in small villages themselves, and this thesis provides an insight in their experiences which hopefully can contribute to an increased knowledge about how Swedish sports associations in rural areas may develop in the next few years. The results reveal that the studied sports clubs experience severe problems in the recruitment of new members as well as voluntary trainers and members of the board. Moreover, the study proves an ongoing conflict between urban and rural areas which in particular concerns allocation of resources and political priority.

Full textIn the French context of prison's opening up and developing partnerships with associations, first “Families Welcome” began in the 1980's. Volunteers take the initiative to create reception facilities for inmates' relatives when they come to the prison visiting room. Since 2010, in order to respect European Prison Rules, penitentiary administration handed over this service to the joint management of private and public companies, without excluding associations.Between anthropology and sociology, through long-term ethnography within this prison's periphery, this thesis raises questions about institutional practices and participatory dimension of associations. Through several models – compassion, management, and security – this research analyses the politicisation process and symbolic construction of the different subjects implicated (collective and individual). It also studies social issues relevant to the “carceralisation”, of public places and the publicity of prison facilities

Full textThe ongoing debate on the citizens’ growing disenchantment with politics often focusses on political attitudes of adolescents. However, an increasing number of publications also address ways of political re-integration. Here, voluntary associations are perceived as schools of democracies that contribute to adolescents’ political socialization. It is claimed that membership in these associations induces civic mindedness, promotes positive feelings towards democracy and fosters political participation. This dissertation examines these assumptions: It gives an overview of the literature and empirically tests socialization mechanisms. Based on a secondary analysis of different surveys it is asked which particular political attitudes are socialized by the membership in voluntary associations. In addition, it is examined which types of voluntary associations contribute to political socialization. Furthermore, the dissertation also addresses the question if effects arise from active membership within these organizations and if selection effects account for correlations between associational membership and political attitudes.

Full textThis PhD dissertation is based on an ethnographic study of two football clubs located in the French département of Seine-Saint-Denis. The data gathered made it possible to document an understudied training space for young amateur football players. This research sought to confront the players’ aspirations in a future of excellence in the sport to the probabilities of their realization. The teenagers’ social trajectories studied in this dissertation unfold in a hierarchical space, one of the main recruitment pools for French professional football apprentices: the Paris region, which is home to a mass of competitors striving for the recognition of their technical and tactical virtuosity. In this context, elite football institutions participate in shaping how teenage football players and their coaches identify themselves with the professional football world. The study of parental strategies for children's success, of masculine sociability, as well as that of the mentoring work carried out by educators, all shed light on the social factors underlying a commitment to sport competition. The research shows how such commitment in the competitive process of selection implicates a quest for respectability among this working-class youth
Esta tesis se basa en una encuesta etnográfica llevada a cabo en dos clubs de fútbol del departamento francés de Seine-Saint-Denis (93). Los datos colectados permitieron comprender un espacio de formación para jóvenes futbolistas amateurs que aún no había sido estudiado. Este trabajo propone estudiar las creencias en un porvenir deportivo de excelencia que tiene pocas probabilidades objetivas de concretarse. Las trayectorias sociales de los jóvenes estudiados en la tesis se inscriben en un espacio jerarquizado que corresponde a una de las principales canteras de reclutamiento de aprendices futbolistas profesionales: la región parisina concentra muchos aspirantes a la consagración de su talento técnico y táctico. En este contexto, la presencia de instituciones futbolísticas de élite participa en el proceso de identificación de los jóvenes y de sus educadores con los actores del fútbol profesional. El estudio de las estrategias educativas de éxito de las sociabilidades masculinas, pero también del trabajo de los educadores, pone de relieve los fundamentos sociales de la implicación en la competición deportiva. La tesis muestra que el compromiso de los jóvenes en el proceso de selección refleja las aspiraciones a la respetabilidad de los miembros de las clases populares
