Associating in times of flux: Volunteering in a hybrid institutional and organizational environment: An emerging research agenda

Abstract

Traditionally, volunteers are core participants in classic voluntary associations; however, the organizational context of volunteering has changed significantly in recent decades through the proliferation of new and hybrid settings of participation that mingle roles and rationalities of civil society, state, and market. In this chapter, I examine the consequences of this organizational change for the nature and functions of volunteering by means of a literature review.
