Uphononongo olutsha, "UkuHlola iiNkuthazo zamaVolontiya kunye neZicwangciso zokuQesha ukuBandakanya kuMahlathi aseDolophini" likhutshwe ngu. Izixeko kunye nokusiNgqongileyo (CATE).
Abstract: Uphononongo olumbalwa kumahlathi asezidolophini luphonononge iimpembelelo zamavolontiya amahlathi asezidolophini. Kolu phando, iithiyori ezimbini zeengqondo zentlalo (iVolunteer Functions Inventory kunye neVolunteer Process Model) zisetyenziselwa ukuphonononga izinto ezikhuthazayo zokuthatha inxaxheba kwimisebenzi yokutyala imithi. I-Inventory yeMisebenzi yamaVolontiya ingasetyenziselwa ukuvavanya iimfuno, iinjongo kunye nenkuthazo abantu abafuna ukuyizalisekisa ngokuvolontiya. Imodeli yeNkqubo yeVolontiya inika ukukhanya kwizinto ezandulelayo, amava kunye nemiphumo yokuvolontiya kumanqanaba amaninzi (umntu, umntu, umntu, umbutho, uluntu). Ukuqondwa kweenkuthazo zamavolontiya kunokunceda iingcali ekuphuhliseni nasekuphunyezweni kweenkqubo ezithatha inxaxheba zamahlathi asezidolophini ezinomtsalane kwabo bachaphazelekayo. Senze uphando lwamavolontiya athathe inxaxheba kumsitho wokutyala amavolontiya e-MillionTreesNYC kunye neqela ekugxilwe kulo labasebenzi bamahlathi asezidolophini. Iziphumo zophando zityhila ukuba amavolontiya aneempembelelo ezahlukeneyo kunye nolwazi olunqongopheleyo lwefuthe lemithi kwinqanaba loluntu. Iziphumo ezivela kwiqela ekugxilwe kuzo zityhila ukuba ukubonelela ngemfundo malunga neenzuzo zemithi kunye nokugcina unxibelelwano lwexesha elide kunye namavolontiya asetyenziswa rhoqo izicwangciso zokubandakanya. Nangona kunjalo, ukunqongophala koluntu ngolwazi malunga namahlathi asezidolophini kunye nokungakwazi ukunxibelelana nabaphulaphuli yimicelimngeni echongiweyo yeengcali zokugaya abachaphazelekayo ukuba bathathe inxaxheba kwiinkqubo zabo.
