Where authors have talked about protective, values, career, social, understanding and enhancement factors in one or other ways (like recognition, reciprocity, reactivity, self-esteem, personal growth etc), have authors talked about other factors as well like religion (and included in inventory)?
Hello Mattiullah Butt
I was wondering if you had seen the below papers?
Cnaan, R. A., & Goldberg-Glen, R. S. (1991). Measuring motivation to volunteer in human services. The journal of applied behavioral science, 27(3), 269-284.

I hope this is helpful

Thank You very much. I have gone through most of the above articles and hence mentioned the factors they have studied in these article, in explanation of my question.
Can there be other factors other than mentioned above. For Example Religion or religious involvements is also motivation to volunteer.
I am also studying Faith Based Organization and have found that some of the factors can't actually be applied and may need some religious factors as well to be included in inventory.
Similarly Can there be other factors too to be included for specific organizations?
The involvement in religious organisations in connection with volunteering is discussed/acknowledged in the following - I was wondering if you had seen these:
Astin, A. W., & Sax, L. J. (1998). How undergraduates are affected by service participation. Service Participation, 39(3), 251.
Gerstein, L. H., Wilkeson, D. A., & Anderson, H. (2004). differences in motivations of paid versus nonpaid volunteers 1. Psychological reports, 94(1), 163-175. (spiritual/religious values, spiritual fulfilment, positively associated with volunteerism).
Clary, E. G., Snyder, M., & Stukas, A. A. (1996). Volunteers' motivations: Findings from a national survey. Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly, 25(4), 485-505. (see next ref. below)
Gage, R. L., & Thapa, B. (2012). Volunteer motivations and constraints among college students analysis of the volunteer function inventory and leisure constraints models. Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly, 41(3), 405-430.
You can find Brijesh Thapa on ResearchGate, and download this paper. In it, the paper by Clary et al 1996 (see above) is discussed; Clary et al. adding ‘religious duty’ to the VFI (pp.413-4 in Gage & Thapa) is mentioned in their literature review. The researchers then look at volunteer characteristics (research question1) and motivations to volunteer (research question 2), incorporating the aspect of religion (especially question 2).
Zappalà, G. (2000). How many people volunteer in Australia and why do they do it?. Smith Family. http://orfeusresearch.com.au/web_images/bp-04-00_online.pdf
Acknowledges religious beliefs as a reason to volunteer.
Also worth reading the discussion in:
Borgonovi, F. (2008). Doing well by doing good. The relationship between formal volunteering and self-reported health and happiness. Social Science & Medicine, 66(11), 2321-2334.
Narayan, D., & Cassidy, M. F. (2001). A dimensional approach to measuring social capital: development and validation of a social capital inventory. Current sociology, 49(2), 59-102.
I hope these reflect your literature requirements, Mary
Thank you very much. A few more articles that I had not gone through and you mentioned are very related and useful. I think I can work now... Thanks a lot.
