Abstract

The results of a research project on volunteer work are presented. The features of volunteers are described, and compared with paid workers' ones. A logit analysis is performed, in oder to detect the determinants of the satisfaction that volunteers and paid workers derive from their activity, and to understand their differences, other than the absence of a monetary compensation for volunteers. The conclusions are mixed, in he sense that, across the two groups of paid workers and volunteers, the determinants of satisfaction are neither exactly the same, nor completely opposite or different.
