Abstract

The aim of the article is to identify how the intensity of a volunteer contact with beneficiaries of implemented volunteer projects influences the effects that corporate volunteering brings to the organization. The analyses are based on the qualitative research conducted in 11 companies implementing corporate volunteer programs. The results of the study suggest that the more intense the contact between the volunteer-employees and the beneficiaries of volunteering is, the wider the range of competences they develop. On the other hand, volunteer projects in which contact with the beneficiary is weak contribute to strengthening the integration of employees and their identification with the organization.
