Student Volunteering Literature Review
Where possible, the identified obstacles must correlate to the functional motives of the Volunteer Function Inventory (Clary et al., 1998). For example, if a study found that students did not believe an opportunity would improve future chances of employment, then the functional motive of “career” is not achieved.
General summary and analysis of previous research and theories; identify areas of controversy and contested claims; and highlight any gaps that may exist in research to date.
PLease attempt to explore from a global context, multiple countries or regions.
