这项纵向实地研究探讨了综合性志愿者社区领导的决定因素。我们使用了北美43个社区领导力项目的1443名参与者的样本，将利他主义，社会和自我导向的动机与个人在社区中的志愿者参与程度联系起来。参与志愿者社区领导的个人报告了更多的利他动机（即，他们自愿参加是因为他们关心别人）。高水平的志愿社区领导也与社会动机有关，例如参与社区活动，因为朋友或其他重要人士认为这样做很重要。无论他们的动机，参与者在社区领导计划参与后，以新的方式参与他们的社区，这表明这些计划促进综合社区领导。注重团队建设作为其课程的一部分的方案在培养新的社区领导活动方面最成功，而注重社区知识和意识的方案在增加参与者对社区的知识和意识方面是有效的。作为一个整体考虑，本研究的结果表明，社区领导计划可以增加知识和社区的认识和实际参与社区的社区成员谁选择参加这样的计划。
This longitudinal field study examined the determinants of integrative, volunteer community leadership. Using a sample of 1443 participants in 43 community leadership programs across North America, we linked altruistic, social- and self-oriented motives to the breadth of individuals' volunteer involvement in their communities. Individuals who engaged in volunteer community leadership reported more altruistic motives (i.e., they volunteered because they were concerned about others). High levels of voluntary community leadership were also associated with social motives, such as getting involved in the community because friends or important others think doing so is important. Regardless of their motives, participants engaged in their communities in new ways following participation in a community leadership program, suggesting that such programs foster integrative community leadership. Programs that focused on team building as part of their curriculum were the most successful in fostering new community leadership activities, and programs that focused on knowledge and awareness of the community were effective in increasing participants' knowledge and awareness of the community. Considered as a whole, results of this study suggest that community leadership programs can increase both knowledge and awareness of the community and actual engagement in the community for community members who choose to participate in such programs.
