张学良对东北抗日义勇军的方针1

九一八事变后,张学良在公开执行“不抵抗”政策的同时,对东北义勇军的抗战,一直坚持暗中支持援助的方针,对义勇军的兴起起到了关键性作用。但这一方针的实行,不具政府行为的支持,力度极为有限,才导致了义勇军的最后失败。既要公开执行“不抵抗”的政策,又暗中实行支持义勇军的方针,使张学良在九一八事变后一直处于两难境地的尴尬状态中。总体上看,张学良对东北抗日义勇军的支持行为没能改变其“不抵抗”政策的本质。     

The Emerging Consciousness of Japanese Voluntarism

Abstract  This paper examines Japanese voluntarism from a historical perspective, through which it can be seen that it is not volunteerism and volunteer activity per se which is emerging in contemporary Japanese society, but instead an emerging consciousness of volunteerism and an associated emerging terminology of volunteerism. This emerging consciousness is in part a function of social evolution, and in part due to an administrative generated movement to generate a volunteer spirit in Japan, the borantiu-katsudo movement. This emerging consciousness has on the one hand benefitted existing categories of volunteerism by increasing their visibility and expanding their dimensional character and relevance. On the other hand, this emerging consciousness has also generated some unforeseen forms of contemporary volunteerism.     

How Effective are Helpers to Older Adults’ Life Satisfaction?

The effectiveness of help received from home care workers and volunteers to the life satisfaction of community-dwelling older adults is vital but uncharted. To address the effectiveness, this study aims to optimize the use of social resources for the older adults’ life quality. The study thus surveyed 398 community-dwelling older adults in a city of China about the help and life satisfaction. Results showed a significant positive effect of help from home care workers, but not that from volunteers, on the older adult’s life satisfaction. Moreover, the effect of help from volunteers was significantly greater when the older adult had higher education or lower family income. These effects are explicable with resource theory and need fulfillment theory. They imply the worth of promoting help from home care workers generally and volunteers conditionally to champion older adults’ life satisfaction.

Episodic Volunteering at a Religious Megaevent

In preparation for Pope Francis's visit to Philadelphia and the 2015 World Meeting of Families, organizers looked for thousands of volunteers to help carry out these events. This is common for many one‐time and episodic events, such as large sporting events (from marathons to Special Olympics), arts and cultural events (such as festivals and concerts), and fundraising events. After the pope's visit, volunteers were asked to respond to a questionnaire about their experiences and the volunteer management of the event; 2,408 responded (34.4 percent). Data on motivation, who volunteered, recruitment, training, assignment, supervision, communication, satisfaction, and suggestions for improvement were elicited. We focused on episodic volunteering at a religious event and on a broad spectrum of issues pertaining to management of episodic volunteers. Our findings add to the knowledge regarding volunteer management and also add to conceptual understanding of the distinction between ongoing and episodic volunteers.     

论当下中国志愿文化的兴起与发展——兼论中国优秀传统文化与西方进步文化的融通与结合

随着国内经济社会发展的需要,伴随西方文明思潮的影响,志愿者活动在中国逐步兴起和发展。"volunteers"虽然是舶来品,然其核心精神"奉献、友爱、互助、进步"与中国传统文化中儒、墨、道、佛所蕴含的"仁爱""兼爱""行善""布施"相呼应。志愿文化是推动社会发展、进步的巨大精神力量,志愿者活动是弘扬社会主义核心价值观的有效途径。但是,当下志愿者活动的发展面临一些困惑和挑战,如何实现传统文化与西方进步文化的融通,丰富当下中国志愿文化的内涵,具有现实性和重要性。     

In Search of Strategy

The canon of volunteer administration contends that adoption of specified practices separates effective from ineffective programs. Alternatively, structural contingency and strategic human resource management theories suggest that managers make adoption decisions based on how organizational circumstances dictate the applicability or efficacy of particular practices. We test propositions that universalistic adoption of “best practices,” contingent adoption of practices, and configurational adoption of bundles of practices are associated with program outcomes of recruitment ease, retention of volunteers, and the net benefits that volunteers bring to organizational operations. With all sets of tests garnering limited empirical support, we conclude that human resource practice in volunteer administration is loosely coupled with outcomes, but that some organizations do—and many more should—manage according to the singular context of their institutional and external environments.
