The Dual Structure of Volunteering During Crises: A Task-Driven Approach to Volunteering
本文基于2020年丹麦成年人调查数据，提出并检验了危机期间志愿服务存在双重结构：有经验的志愿者承担常规和疫情特定任务，而新志愿者因焦虑几乎只参与疫情特定任务。
This article develops and tests a theoretical model of volunteering during crises suggesting a dual structure referring to the mobilization of two types of volunteers engaging in different voluntary tasks. By combining theories on civic virtue and crisis adaption, I develop and test the theoretical model using survey data on a representative random sample of Danish adults collected during the pandemic in 2020. The results of the analysis support some parts of the model as volunteers fall into two groups. One group of previous volunteers had high levels of generalized trust and took on both ordinary volunteering and COVID-19-specific voluntary tasks. Another group of new volunteers had high levels of anxiety and almost exclusively engaged in COVID-19-specific tasks. The article contributes to volunteering and crisis research by demonstrating how both mechanisms of civic responsibility and crisis adaption influence volunteering during crises.
