Volunteering for Refugees

The goal of collecting the Volunteering for Refugees data is to provide a database to answer questions that concern several aspects of volunteering for refugees. Combining open-ended and close-ended questions that are inspired on influential (volunteering) literature, the data elaborate, amongst others, on the relationship between the involved organization and their volunteers, in terms of appreciation, satisfaction and opportunities for development (e.g. Brudney & Meijs, 2009, 2013; Hager & Brudney, 2004; Hustinx, 2010). Next, volunteers are questioned about their motivation to volunteer (e.g. Clary et al., 1998; Schwartz et al., 2001) and whether they also perform other types of voluntary work (e.g. Hustinx et al., 2012). Moreover, volunteers receive questions about their satisfaction with field organizations and whether their (dis)satisfaction impacts their motivation to continue volunteering for refugees (e.g. Boezeman & Ellemers, 2007, 2009). Volunteers also receive questions about their political orientation and (un)conventional political participation (e.g. Eliasoph, 2013). Subsequently, aspects of the volunteers’ degree of human, social and cultural capital are asked (e.g. Wilson & Musick, 1997, 1998). Lastly, volunteers are asked what positive and negative aspects they encounter when volunteering for refugees.收集难民志愿服务（Volunteering for Refugees）数据集的目标，是搭建数据库以解答与难民志愿服务多维度相关的各类问题。本数据集结合了基于权威志愿服务研究文献设计的开放式与封闭式问题，除其他内容外，详细阐述了相关服务机构与志愿者之间的关系，涵盖认可程度、满意度及发展机会等维度（例如Brudney & Meijs, 2009, 2013; Hager & Brudney, 2004; Hustinx, 2010）。其次，调研围绕志愿者的志愿服务动机（例如Clary et al., 1998; Schwartz et al., 2001）以及是否参与其他类型志愿工作（例如Hustinx et al., 2012）展开。此外，问卷还涉及志愿者对实地服务机构的满意度，以及其满意或不满情绪是否会影响其继续参与难民志愿服务的动机（例如Boezeman & Ellemers, 2007, 2009）。同时，问卷包含关于志愿者政治倾向与非常规政治参与行为的问题（例如Eliasoph, 2013）。随后，调研还采集了志愿者的人力资本、社会资本与文化资本水平相关维度的信息（例如Wilson & Musick, 1997, 1998）。最后，问卷询问了志愿者在参与难民志愿服务过程中所经历的积极与消极体验。
