Abstract

The previous chapter addressed motivations to volunteer by considering how participation might be explained in terms of meeting personal needs and how attitudes and attributes influenced decisions to volunteer. In this chapter, we look at retention -- what makes people stay (or not) in organisations once they have taken the decision to become involved.
