Abstract
La realidad del voluntariado es sumamente compleja hasta el punto de que resulta complicado definir y caracterizar el trabajo voluntario, dada la gran variedad de interpretaciones, motivaciones, variables sociodemográficas y aspectos culturales que configuran el perfil de los voluntarios. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la influencia conjunta de algunas variables sociodemográficas, así como de los valores culturales de índole secular o tradicional, sobre el perfil de los voluntarios en Europa. Además, se investiga qué variables orientan a los voluntarios hacia un determinado tipo de voluntariado u otro. Para ello se ha aplicado principalmente una metodología de regresión logística a partir de la información disponible en la European Value Study. Los resultados obtenidos ayudan a establecer una caracterización del voluntariado en Europa, y confirman la influencia de los valores culturales, en primer lugar, en la realización o no de trabajos de voluntariado, y en segundo lugar, en la elección que hacen estas personas del tipo de actividad con la que están comprometidos. Al analizar dos tipos de voluntariado de motivación supuestamente muy diferente, se concluye que existe un grupo de valores que influyen en ambos, aunque el sentido y la intensidad en la que lo hacen sea diferente; por otra parte, algunos valores tienen influencia o no en la realización de trabajos de voluntariado, dependiendo del tipo específico al que nos refiramos.
It is very difficult to define and typify volunteering due to the huge complexity voluntary work phenomenon has, including a large variety of interpretations, motivations, socio-demographic variables and cultural aspects associated to volunteers profile. The main objective of this study is to analyze the combined influence of some socio-demographic variables and cultural values, secular or traditional ones, over volunteers profile in Europe. Additionally, the study investigates what variables guide volunteers towards each volunteering type. A logistic regression methodology has been applied to the information obtained from the European Value Study. The results help to establish a characterization of volunteering in Europe, and confirm the influence of cultural values, on one hand, over carrying out or not voluntary work, and on the other hand, the influence over volunteers’ choice of the type of activity to be committed to. Analyzing two volunteering types with supposedly very different motivations, we come to the conclusion that a group of cultural values influence both of them, although in different direction and intensity; at the same time, some values have influence or not over volunteering depending on the specific type.
