Volunteering behavioral declines amid personal and organizational upheaval: Recruitment, retention, and barriers in Australia
Journal of Human Behavior in the Social Environment, Vol.35(7), pp.1184-1204

Abstract
Volunteers have faced recent social disruptions which have brought about a new wave of barriers to wash over survivors of an already declining number of formal volunteers in Australia. How the “environmental jolt” of recent social disruption has played out for volunteering is important to understand because less is known about how organizational responses have interacted with changing individual volunteer motives and meanings in the volunteering context. Understanding the impact of this environmental jolt of recent social disruption on volunteering is crucial, especially considering the implications for well-being in communities of volunteers.
