- Abstract
With changes in society and the development of non-profit sector, volunteering is growing into a new socio-cultural and economic phenomenon and becoming an important feature of modern society. Volunteer work, willingness to invest time and energy, but without any compensation, without expecting any benefits or personal gain from the assistance offered, is an internal need of many people but also a great economic potential that has not been sufficiently used in Serbia. A volunteer is not only a benefactor but also a person who has certain knowledge and experience and whose work contributes to the well being of an individual and/or society in general. The article analyses the motives that lead individuals to become volunteers and the means to encourage their enthusiasm.
