Motivation of Volunteers Who Work in Non-Profit Organizations

The primary focus of this bachelor´s thesis is a complex analysis and the consequent evaluation of volunteers´ motivation working within a chosen volunteering scheme. Proposal of appropriate methods of evaluation and rewarding targeted at the coordinator of such a scheme is a further goal of this work. In the theoretical part I discuss the topic of volunteering and motivation. Based on these observations, the practical part of the thesis consists of an analysis of the volunteers´ motivation within a chosen sample; I process the coordinator´s practices with the volunteers and offer appropriate measures for improvement. I have gathered the data using surveys and personal, partly-strucured interviews with the participants of the volunteering scheme Program 5P. The bachelor´s thesis concludes with comparison, evaluation and interpretation of the data
