Programa Educação Tutorial (PET) Versus Empresa Júnior: análise de motivação de voluntários.

Abstract

Motivations drive individuals to pursue certain directions and behaviors, important to assist managers in seeking commitment and productivity organizational. In voluntary work these forces are different from the traditional worker, but they also need to be identified to assist managers of non-profit organizations to provide quality services, including in the academic / university context. In this sense, the objective of this work was to analyze the motivating factors of students who voluntarily participate in PET and Junior Company projects. Methodologically, We opted for a quantitative, exploratory-descriptive research, using the scale motivation for voluntary work, developed and validated by Cavalcante (2016), with factors of altruistic motivation, social justice, affiliation, learning and selfish. In the analysis of data, descriptive statistics, correlation and t test were applied. The main results obtained define that the learning factor as motivation predominates, however, they follow sequences hierarchical differences in relation to the other factors: the members of the Junior Company seek also for recognition, while those from the PET groups tend to seek to solve social injustices.
