Na. Ibrahim et De. Brannen, IMPLICATIONS OF GENDER DIFFERENCES ON THE MOTIVATION TO VOLUNTEER IN HOSPITALS, Journal of social service research, 22(4), 1997, pp. 1-18
This study examines the relationship between hospital volunteers' gend
er and their motivation to volunteer. An empirical analysis of survey
data from 362 volunteers shows significant differences between the two
groups. That is, the factors that motivate male volunteer workers are
significantly different from those that motivate female volunteers. S
ome explanations as well as generalizations and implications for hospi
tal administrators and human resources managers are developed.
