Impact of volunteer management practice on volunteer motivation and satisfaction to enhance volunteer retention

Retention of volunteers is a major problem. Although many researchers have attempted to develop solutions and models to enable higher retention rates of volunteers, few have attempted to find a causal relationship between volunteer management practice and retention. This research has attempted to mitigate this problem of volunteer retention using volunteer management practice but through the process of enhancing motivation and satisfaction of volunteers. Theoretical framework, hypotheses and research methodology including the research instrument have been developed.
