Identifier	Thesis 2025
Author	Cain, Shawna Susanne
Title	Mediation of the gender/volunteer behavior relationship by values motives
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2009
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	Volunteer work and factors that influence the choice to participate in volunteer work has become a focus of study in psychology. Examples of volunteer work that occur in or through an organization are coaching a little league baseball team and mentoring. An important question is who volunteers and why. The purpose of this thesis was to examine if gender, specifically being female, was related to volunteer work, and if the values motive mediated the relationship between gender and volunteer work. A survey study was used to investigate the research questions, and participants were recruited using the psychology participant pool at Central Connecticut State University. Participants completed survey materials online via SurveyMonkey.com. Baron and Kenny’s (1986) steps for assessing mediation were used to test the hypothesized relationships. Multiple regression analysis showed, contrary to expectation, no significant relationship between gender and volunteer work. In addition, no significant relationship was found between gender and values motive. The fact that results were not consistent with previous studies maybe due to (a) a change in time constraints of women, with more similarity between the activities of men and women (i.e., career, higher education etc.), therefore making available time for volunteering more equivalent between the genders, or (b) the fact that the operational definition of volunteering differed from previous research. Thus, the hypothesized relationship between gender and volunteer work and the hypothesized mediation of that relationship by the values motive were not supported in this study.
