The Volunteer Sector in the Continuum of Publicness-
Privateness
Bozeman argues that some government organizations are
private in that:
Some of their goods are “purely private” or intermediate
between the purely private and purely public. (1987:50)
Public ownership is diluted, thus power is delegated to
managers. (1987:54)

retain their public quality.

As Keaveney (1991: 21) states:

“Volunteers bring with them experience, skill,

dedication, clout, passion and an unparalleled
ability to reach out to the…public”

CONCLUSIONS:
It has been said that the giving of one’s time to others is the best gift one can give.
Some people view time as being more valuable than anything else. This notion extends to
volunteering for an organization, or for anything, without being paid.
Nonetheless, people are helping others even when they do not have to, they are doing
something selfless for someone else, they are working on behalf of others without being
motivated by financial or material gain. They do it because it is important to them to help
cause, lend a helping hand or support an organization in need. Volunteering is generally
considered an altruistic activity, intended to promote good or improve human quality of life.
The voluntary organizations have affected the society very diversely and deeply. The
act of volunteering has been viewed as a form of social capital, with particular reference to the
role of volunteering in promoting social inclusion, supporting marginalized groups, its
relationship to other forms of civic participation and free work, creating a civil society, social
action, in community building and community renewal. Its connection with other key social
players such as government, business, communities, and people as individuals has given the
voluntary sector strong power to affect the society as a whole.
