Designing Human Resource Practices that Promote the Retention of Volunteers

本项目旨在研究人力资源实践对吸引和留住高质量志愿者的影响。志愿者为澳大利亚人民提供基本的保健和教育服务，这使得非营利组织必须制定有效的人力资源做法，吸引和留住最优秀的人才。然而，非营利组织往往难以吸引和留住足够数量的志愿者。本项目将运用动机和保留理论研究三种人力资源实践对志愿者的发展和组织依恋的影响。这些知识旨在帮助政府和非营利组织改进政策和程序，以可持续地管理澳大利亚的志愿者队伍。

This project aims to examine the effects of human resources practices on the attraction and retention of high-quality volunteers. Volunteers provide essential health and educational services to the Australian population, which makes it important for non-profit organisations to develop effective human resource practices that attract and retain the best people. However, non-profit organisations often struggle to attract and retain a sufficient number of volunteers. This project will examine the effects of three human resource practices on the thriving and organisational attachment of volunteers using theories of motivation and retention. This knowledge is intended to help governments and non-profit organisations improve on policies and procedures to manage Australia’s volunteer workforce sustainably.
