Abstrakt

Artykuł omawia motywacje wolontariuszy, pełniących funkcję opiekunów przyszłych psów przewodników, na trzech kluczowych etapach ich kariery: rozpoczęciu, kontynuacji i zakończeniu działalności wolontaryjnej. Na podstawie badań jakościowych przeprowadzonych wśród 34 wolontariuszy z Polski i Słowacji autor omawia główne czynniki wewnętrzne, zewnętrzne i organizacyjne, które wpływały na ich motywacje do angażowania się w tę działalność. Koncepcja afordancji umożliwiła przedstawienie wolontariatu jako oferty zauważonej przez uczestników badania, której atrakcyjność i dostępność zależały od aktualnej konfiguracji ich potrzeb, aspiracji i możliwości. Artykuł wskazuje, że metody jakościowe w połączeniu z koncepcją afordancji mogą być użyteczne zarówno w rozwijaniu funkcjonalnego podejścia do badania motywacji wolontariuszy, jak i w zarządzaniu ofertami organizacji pozarządowych.
