Studiet, der er gennemført blandt rumænske frivillige inden for rammerne af selvbestemmelsesteorien, viser, at den organisatoriske kontekst (støtte til autonomi) har væsentlig indflydelse på frivilliges autonome motivation og dermed på deres engagement og tilfredshed.
In the present study, we use the self-determination theory (SDT) as a framework to explore the mediating role of needs satisfaction (i.e., autonomy, competence, and relatedness) on the relationship between the volunteers’ motivation and two aspects of the organizational context (i.e., social network and autonomous vs. controlled work climate). Data from 349 Romanian volunteers provided general support for SDT and emphasized the effect of an autonomy-supportive climate initiated by the coordinator in volunteers’ autonomous motivation. The results showed that needs satisfaction acts as a partial mediator of the relationship between work climate and volunteers autonomous motivation. The social network size was positively related to needs satisfaction but has no direct impact on autonomous motivation. Practical implications and future research are discussed.
