Význam dobrovolnictví jako specifického lidského zdroje

Abstract

Human resources are defined as individual’s abilities that lead to the production of scarce tangible and intangible assets, both public and private. Human resources are not considered to be people but their attitudes, characteristics and abilities. In this context the relation to voluntary work must be seen as one of important human resources. The paper describes the difficulty in defining the terms volunteer - voluntary work and describes the importance of this specific activity both for the individual and for the organization in which the work is performed. The economic importance is described as well.
