Zusammenfassung

In the last years, evidence has cumulated about the fact that attitudes towards organizationor towards voluntary activity play a major explanatory role in the continuity of volunteers inorganizations. Yet, there are no appropriate assessment tools for a comprehensive study ofthese attitudes in voluntarism. This paper describes the adaptation of a number of instrumentsmeasuring attitudes commonly used with personnel who have a salary. The Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ) by Mowday, Steers and Porter, the Job Involvement byLodahl and Kejner and the Job Diagnostic Survey by Hackman and Oldham were administered to 419 volunteers. The analysis of some psychometric properties of these instrumentsshows that, on one hand the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire and the Job Diagnos-tic Survey seem to fit well to voluntarism. On the other hand, the validity and adaptation ofthe Job Involvement are questionable and hence further research would be needed to test itsutility in voluntarism.
