这期《世界休闲与娱乐》杂志是为了纪念世界休闲与娱乐协会的休闲主义委员会于今年成立(临时批准两年)。该委员会的成立有两个主要目标:一是组织和鼓励对志愿工作的各个方面进行研究,因为它们与休闲有关,反之亦然。另一个是向应用部门传播这一领域的相关研究成果,这些部门被定义为志愿者个人、他们的管理人员以及世界上任何地方的非营利机构和组织,只要这些研究成果被认为是有用的。这六篇文章在这个问题上只能暗示研究问题的多样性和研究成果的应用所涵盖的休闲和志愿服务,一个领域,然而,令人惊讶的是,很少收到理论和经验的关注。因此,任何对这两个现代生活关键领域并置的纯粹或应用方面感兴趣的人,都被邀请加入反歧视委员会。要加入或只是想了解更多关于其结构、目标和运作程序的信息,请按本说明末尾所列地址之一与我联系。组成这期特刊的文章就像休闲和志愿服务领域一样多种多样。这种多样性在Slbnley帕克的开篇理论文章中表现得很明显,他在文章中提出了四种类型的志愿服务。他认为志愿服务具有利他、市场、公益和休闲等形式,并在阐述过程中表明,志愿服务是出于不同的动机和追求不同的目的而开展的。因此,这四种类型并不是由相互排斥的要素组成的。相反,每一种类型都与一种或多种其他类型共享某些元素,即使每一种类型也描述了志愿服务的独特一面。奈杰尔和林赛·金在他们对英国导游和童子军组织的研究中将我们带到了经验层面。首先,他们对联合王国的研究进行了广泛的审查,重点是开始和离开voC unteering,之后他们为指南和童子军的志愿者提供了关于这些问题的调查数据。他们发现,在这两个组织中从事志愿工作的一个主要原因是享受与儿童和青年一起工作的乐趣。他们的受访者给出了工作或krmily承诺作为两个主要原因离开指南和童子军。澳大利亚志愿体育管理者的调查研究
This issue of W d leisum and Recreation commemorates the inauguration this year of the Volunteerism Commission of the World Leisure and Recreation Association (provisionally approved for two years). This Commission was established with two main objectives in view: one is to organise and encourage research on all aspects of volunteering as they relate to leisure and vice versa. The other is to disseminate relevant research findings in this area to the applied sector, defined as individual volunteers, their managers, and the non-profit agencies and organisations located anywhere in the world where the findings are deemed useful. The six articles in this issue can only hint at the diversity of research problems and applications of research findings encompassed by the field of leisure and volunteerism, a field that has, however, received surprisingly little theoretical and empirical attention. Accordingly, anyone interested in the pure or applied facets of this juxtaposition of two critical areas of modern life is invited to join the Volunteerism Commission. To join or simply to learn more about its structure, objectives, and operating procedures, please contact me at one of the addresses listed at the end of this note. The articles comprising this special issue are as diverse as the field of leisure and volunteerism itself. This diversity is evident in Slbnley Parker's opening theoretical article, in which he presents a typology of four types of volunteering. He considers volunteering in its altruistic, market, causeserving and leisure forms, demonstrating in the course of his exposition that volunteering is undertaken with different motives and in the pursuit of different purposes. The four types are not therefore composed of mutually exclusive elements. Rather, each type shares certain elements with one or more of the others, even while each also describes a distinctive side of volunteering.Nigel Jam's and Lindsay King take us to the empirical level in their study of Guide and Scout organisations in England. First they conduct an extensive review of the research in the United Kingdom centred on starting and leaving voC unteering, after which they present their own survey data on these questions for volunteers in the Guides and Scouts. They found that one main reason for volunteering in these two organisations was the enjoyment of working with children and youth. Their respondents gave work or krmily commitments as the two principle reasons for leaving the Guides and Scouts. The survey of Australian volunteer sports administrators
