Verbessert Freiwilligenarbeit die »Work-Life-Balance«?

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Zusammenfassung

In den letzten Jahren wird die Vereinbarkeit unterschiedlicher Lebensdomänen – meist unter dem Stichwort Work-Life-Balance – in zahlreichen wissenschaftlichen und nichtwissenschaftlichen Publikationen thematisiert. Gerade für Freiwillige stellt die Vereinbarkeit der für sie wichtigen Lebensbereiche eine besondere Herausforderung dar, und es stellt sich die Frage, ob und inwiefern der zusätzliche und persönlich bedeutsame Lebensbereich der Freiwilligentätigkeit eine Belastung oder eine Bereicherung darstellt. Unter Bezugnahme auf die aktuelle Forschungsliteratur erscheint plausibel, dass sich die Freiwilligentätigkeit trotz der zusätzlichen zeitlichen Belastung eher positiv auf die Vereinbarkeit unterschiedlicher Lebensbereiche auswirkt. Eigene explorative Studien weisen ebenfalls in diese Richtung: Dabei erweist sich ein weder zu geringes noch zu starkes Engagement als besonders günstig.
