Summary: | 碩士 === 南華大學 === 非營利事業管理學系 === 102 === Since the enactment of Regulations on Encouragement of Volunteering the local governments have been assessing the performance of the volunteering in order to promote its quality. Due to the fact that such assessment systems are not mandatory, there exist two situations. First, few local governments are willing to participate in the assessments. Second, if they do so, they will get awarded. It’s doubtful whether the purposes of these assessments or the ability to distinguish the volunteering can be achieved.
With an eye to analyzing the phenomena mentioned above, the research hypothesizes three research questions: 1. What are the factors which influence the local governments to make assessments? 2. Do the methods and contents about the assessments match the practical performance of volunteering? 3. Are there any appropriate mechanisms or measures which can be taken to enhance the quality of volunteer services? This research uses such qualitative research methods as in-depth interviews, field observations and data collections to explore the real problems of the current assessments of volunteering.There are two major results:
1. The factors influencing the local governments to assess the volunteering include the scale of the organization, the human resources, the finance, the ability, their attitude towards the assessments and the recognition of assessments.
2. Due to the facts that the assessment is the paperwork based on the quantitative data collected in a very short period of time and that the neglecting of qualitative performances, the practical performances of the institutions which utilize the volunteering services fail to be manifested.
According to the research results, the researcher suggests the relevant institutions return to the basic spirit of Regulations on Encouragement of Volunteering namely, more autonomy and less management. Furthermore, the complicated assessment methods and contents applied currently should be replaced with field examinations or itinerant counseling methods to indicate more qualitative performances of volunteering Only by this way can the good mind of Regulations on Encouragement of Volunteering be fulfilled.
