| Abstract | Both practitioner and research literatures were reviewed to determine items relevant to developing volunteer and paid staff relationships. An online survey targeted to members of the Association of Volunteer Administration and the CYBERVPM electronic mailing list was conducted. Respondents included 557 volunteer program managers. A nine-item volunteer and paid staff climate instrument was completed, followed by a 27-item behavioral scale. Respondents reported that expressing appreciation, welcoming volunteers, and being present at association meetings are almost always/usually done. These civility items were closely followed by communicating clear information on roles and expectations. Although all items were relevant to at least some programs, instrumental tasks that engaged paid staff and volunteers in the same training events, projects, and meetings occurred in fewer organizations. |
