ABSTRACT

Considering the need to prepare students to act towards sustainable development, volunteering activities can be an effective mean for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to develop the required skills in students for it. In this sense, this research aims to analyse the reasons for undergraduate students to participate in voluntary activities. Data from 192 undergraduate students were collected to conduct this analysis. These students were divided into two groups: those that participate (or recently participated) of social projects and those that do not participate. Considering this feature as the dependent variable, seven independent variables were analysed through Binary Logistic Regression. From the seven variables analysed, two were validated as variables that affect the decision of students to engage in voluntary activities: ‘Incentive from the HEI for students to participate in volunteer programs’ (V4) and ‘The student’s own beliefs lead to voluntary work’ (V7). Their odds ratios were 2.901 and 3.164, respectively. The findings of this research contribute to the literature about volunteering, since it explores the motivations that lead undergraduate students to engage in these activities. The findings showed the importance of HEIs (Higher Education Institutions) incentives towards volunteering, which emphasizes the role played by these institutions in students’ actions.

准备未来的专业人员以朝着可持续发展的方向迈进:对大学生进行志愿活动的动机进行分析

摘要

考虑到需要让学生为实现可持续发展做好准备,志愿服务活动可以成为高等教育机构(HEI)为其发展学生所需技能的有效手段。从这个意义上讲,本研究旨在分析大学生参加志愿活动的原因。收集了192名本科生的数据以进行此分析。这些学生分为两组:参加(或最近参加过)社会项目的学生和不参加社会项目的学生。将此特征视为因变量,通过二元Logistic回归分析了七个自变量。从分析的七个变量中,有两个被验证为影响学生决定参加自愿活动的变量:“ HEI对学生参加志愿者计划的激励”(V4)和“学生自己的信念导致志愿工作”(V7)。他们的优势比分别为2.901和3.164。这项研究的发现为志愿服务提供了文献资料,因为它探索了导致大学生参与这些活动的动机。研究结果表明,高等教育机构(HEIs)激励措施对志愿服务的重要性,强调了这些机构在学生行为中的作用。因为它探讨了导致大学生从事这些活动的动机。调查结果表明,高等教育机构(HEIs)激励措施对志愿服务的重要性,强调了这些机构在学生行为中的作用。因为它探讨了导致大学生从事这些活动的动机。研究结果表明,高等教育机构(HEIs)激励措施对志愿服务的重要性,强调了这些机构在学生行为中的作用。
