Abstracts

EN

The presented paper deals with the motivational factors of volunteering and the concepts of altruism and egoism. It is aimed at presenting the motivations reflected by respondents, but examines also the advantages, disadvantages and other aspects of volunteering. The research sample consists of volunteers in the age range of 19 to 27 volunteering at the non-governmental sector. The statements of respondents are analysed and interpreted through the distinction between endocentric and exocentric altruism by a Polish social psychologist Jerzy Karyłowski.
