Abstract(s)
O presente estudo tem como principal objetivo estudar a motivação para o voluntariado e a
iniciativa de crescimento pessoal em alunos do Ensino Superior. O estudo apresentado tem
como objetivo principal analisar as motivações para o voluntariado em estudantes universitários
e a sua perceção de iniciativa de crescimento pessoal. Como objetivos específicos, pretendese, junto de uma amostra de alunos universitários que já praticaram, pelo menos uma vez,
atividades de voluntariado: (1) Analisar as diferenças entre os sexos ao nível da motivação para
o voluntariado; (2) Comparar as motivações para o voluntariado em função do tempo (nº de
dias) despendido em atividades de voluntariado; (3) Comparar a iniciativa de crescimento
pessoal em função do tempo (nº de dias) despendido em atividades de voluntariado; e (4)
Analisar a relação entre as motivações para o voluntariado e a perceção de iniciativa de
crescimento pessoal. Finalmente, procurou-se comparar a perceção de iniciativa de
crescimento pessoal entre o grupo de alunos que já praticou voluntariado e o um segundo grupo
que nunca teve essa experiência.
Participaram no estudo 177 estudantes (Universidade da Beira Interior e da Universidade da
Madeira), dos quais 119 já praticaram voluntariado pelo menos uma vez [75.6 % do sexo
masculino e 23.6% do sexo feminino (com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e 36 anos, (M=20.87
DP=1.827)] e 58 que nunca praticaram voluntariado [ 77.6 % do sexo masculino e 22.4 do sexo
feminino (com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e 36 anos, (M=20.93 DP= 1.365)]. Os
instrumentos aplicados foram a versão portuguesa do Inventário de Motivações para o
Voluntariado (IMV; Clary & Snyder, 1998) e a Escala da de Iniciativa de Crescimento Pessoal
(EICP-II; Robitschek & Keyes de 2009). Os resultados revelaram que estudantes que praticaram
maior número de dias voluntariado manifestaram valores superiores de motivação na função
valores. A dimensão comportamento intencional da iniciativa de crescimento pessoal prediz
positivamente as funções de valores, experiência, crescimento e carreira. Não houve diferenças
significativas quanto às dimensões da iniciativa de crescimento pessoal entre os grupos de
alunos que já tiveram e nunca tiveram experiências de voluntariado. Os resultados são
discutidos no âmbito das potencialidades das atividades de voluntariado para o
desenvolvimento pessoal dos estudantes do ensino superior.
The present study has as main objective to study the motivation for volunteering and the personal growth initiative in higher education students. As specific objectives, it is intended, in a sample of university students who have already practiced volunteer activities at least once: 1) Analyze the differences between the genders in terms of motivation for volunteering; 2) Compare the motivations for volunteering according to the time (number of days) spent on volunteer activities; (3) Compare the personal growth initiative according to the time (number of days) spent on volunteer activities and; (4) Analyze the relationship between motivations for volunteering and the perception of personal growth initiative. Finally, an attempt was made to compare the perception of personal growth initiative between the group of students who have already volunteered and the second group that never had this experience. 177 students from the University of Beira Interior and the University of Madeira participated in the study, of whom 119 have already volunteered at least once [75.6% male and 23.6% female (aged 18 to 36 years, ( M = 20.87 SD = 1.827)], and 58 who never practiced volunteering [77.6% male and 22.4 female (aged between 18 and 36 years old, (M = 20.93 SD = 1,365)]. The instruments applied were the Portuguese version of the Inventory of Motivations for Volunteering (IMV; Clary & Snyder, 1998) and the Personal Growth Initiative Scale (EICP-II; Robitschek & Keyes, 2009). The results revealed that students who practiced more days of volunteering exhibited a motivation in the values function. The intentional behavior dimension of the personal growth initiative, positively predicts the values, experience, growth and career functions. The dimensions of the personal growth initiative didn’t show statistically significant differences in the two groups of students.
