志愿者（n = 52）和老年人护理员工（n = 160）完成的措施，个人动机，社区意识，并从协助老年人的满意度和压力。照顾者的满意度是最好的预测志愿者的相互责任感的同龄人。对于员工来说，满意度是由反映个人价值观的强烈动机，提高自尊，获得对老年人的理解，以及需要与他人交往来预测的。志愿者的照顾者压力的预测动机低自尊，高需要保护类似的疾病，并对提高个人的职业目标的愿望。对于员工来说，压力是由低水平的相互责任和保护的愿望预测的。结果表明，老年人护理的满意度和压力预测不同的变量，志愿者和员工需要不同的程序开发的招聘和保留。编辑的战略含义：这些发现对老年护理管理人员防止工人和志愿者流动的方式产生了影响，从而促进了客户福利。个人动机和社区联系的措施也可能与其他预防环境有关。
Volunteers (n = 52) and eldercare employees (n = 160) completed measures of personal motives, sense of community, and satisfaction and stress from assisting the elderly. Caregiver satisfaction was best predicted for volunteers by feelings of reciprocal responsibility to peers. For employees, satisfaction was predicted by strong motives reflecting one's personal values, heightening self-esteem, gaining an understanding of the elderly, and a need to socialize with others. Caregiver stress for volunteers was predicted by motives of low self-esteem, high needs for protection from similar illness, and a desire toward enhancing one's personal career goals. For employees, stress was predicted by low levels of reciprocal responsibility and a desire for protection. Results suggest that eldercare satisfaction and stress are predicted by different variables for volunteer and employees requiring different program development for recruitment and retention. EDITORS' STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS: The findings have implications for the way elder care administrators prevent worker and volunteer turnover and thus promote client welfare. Measures of personal motivation and community connection may be relevant to other prevention settings as well.
