Why should I decide to engage? Polish medium-sized and large companies employees’ opinions about joining corporate volunteering and its benefits

Abstract

Corporate volunteering, despite its benefits for the enterprises, supported people, and the volunteers themselves, is still not popular in Polish medium-sized and large companies. In this paper, we explore how people with/without experience in corporate volunteering perceive circumstances that would encourage them to join this activity, and the benefits of it to employers, beneficiaries, and themselves. Our insight may help to plan corporate volunteering programmes, especially for employers and nonprofit organisations collaborating with enterprises.
