Occupation-Related Volunteering: A Qualitative Systematic Literature Review, Conceptualization, and Directions for Future Research

“…For extra-organizational volunteering, these included loss of income, social security contributions, annual leave entitlements and time spent away from home (Butler et al, 2011; Caldron et al, 2018; Granfield, 2007; Rhode, 2003; Smith et al, 2019; Tyler et al, 2020). Equally affected are individuals undertaking post-qualification service-learning for professional development (Rovers et al, 2016; Sin et al, 2019; Tang & Schwantes, 2021; Tyler et al, 2020). When working in professional service firms, such as legal or dental practices, the opportunity cost of spending time on unremunerated, voluntary activities is the direct loss of billings as firms sacrifice revenue otherwise generated by the employee.…”

“…Occupation-related volunteering research can expand across diverse volunteering and work organizational contexts and the opportunities and choices available (Arnold et al, 2011; Granfield, 2007; Khalemsky et al, 2020; Nesbit & Gazley, 2012) and relatedly, gender and minority group differences (Frank et al, 2003; Granfield, 2007). Other directions for consideration included intercultural and ethical decision-making competencies development (Brown-Liburd & Porco, 2011; Christensen & Woodland, 2018; Tang & Schwantes, 2021). Reviewed articles reported more detailed, large-scale or quantitative analysis (e.g., Tyler et al, 2020) and in-depth knowledge gained from targeted qualitative research (e.g., Domaradzki & Walkowiak, 2021) are needed.…”

Another consideration is that although this review captured studies from the individuals’ perspective, authors noted a gap in research on the beneficiary and host organization’s views (Caldron et al, 2018; Lough & Xiang, 2016b; McCauley et al, 2018; Tang & Schwantes, 2021). In addition, unintended consequences for the recipients (Caldron et al, 2018) and for occupation-related volunteers (Plummer et al, 2008; Tyler et al, 2020) are also a research direction.…”
