Herhangi bir ücret ve tazminat almayan gönüllüler, STK’ya gönül bağıyla bağlıdırlar. Onları gönüllü olmaya zorlayan bir güç yoktur. Genellikle onların gönüllülük motivasyonları içseldir. Gönüllüler, STK’dan ayrılırken de kimseye hesap vermek zorunda değiller. Bu durum gönüllülerin bağlılıklarının hassas olduğunu göstermektedir. Böyle bir bağlamda gönüllüleri yönetirken makam gücünün kullanılması sakıncalı olabilir. STK’larda insancıl ve iknaya dayalı bir yönetim anlayışına ihtiyaç vardır. Dolayısıyla liderler, STK’da hem kontrol ve disiplini sağlamak hem de gönüllülerin ayrılmasını engellemek zorunda kalmaktadır.
Anlamlandıran liderlerin tutum ve davranışları; gönüllülerin işi önemli, değerli ve anlamlı olarak algılamalarında rol oynamaktadır. Bu durum, gönüllülerin işi daha fazla benimsemesine ve STK’ya duygusal açıdan bağlanmasına zemin hazırlayabilir. Dolayısıyla bu çalışmada, anlamlandıran liderliğin gönüllülerin duygusal bağlılığıyla olan ilişkisi tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu amaçla aktif şekilde faaliyet gösteren çeşitli STK’ların 407 gönüllüsünden anket tekniğiyle veri toplanmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucunda anlamlandıran liderliğin ve ilgili tüm boyutlarının duygusal bağlılıkla anlamlı ve pozitif bir ilişkisinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bunun yanında bir bütün olarak anlamlandıran liderliğin ve ilgili boyutlarından olan diğerkâmlığın, yapıcı ilişkilerin ve demokratik yönetim anlayışının gönüllülerin duygusal bağlılığını pozitif şekilde etkileyerek yükselttiği tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak liderlerin işi anlamlı kılan pozitif tutum ve davranışlarının gönüllülerin, STK’ya duygusal açıdan bağlanmasında ve sadakat göstermesinde önemli bir rol oynadığı söylenebilir.

Volunteers, who do not receive any wages or compensation, are commitment to the NPOs with a heartfelt. There is no force that compels them to volunteer. Usually their motivation to volunteer is internal. Volunteers do not have to give an account to anyone when they leave the NPOs. This shows that the commitment of the volunteers is sensitive. In such a context, it may be inconvenient to use the power of authority when managing volunteers. NPOs need a humane and persuasive management approach. Therefore, leaders have to both maintain control and discipline in the NPOs and prevent volunteers from leaving.
Attitudes and behaviors of meaning-making leaders play a role in volunteers' perception of their work as important, valuable and meaningful. This situation contributes to volunteers' adopting the work and their emotional attachment to the NPOs. Therefore, in this study, the relationship between meaning-making leadership and the affective commitment of volunteers was tried to be investigated. For this purpose, data were collected from 407 volunteers of various NPOs actively operating. In the research, data was collected by questionnaire technique. As a result of the analysis, it has been determined that meaning-making leadership and all its dimensions have a significant and positive relationship with affective commitment. In addition, it has been determined that meaning-making leadership and its related dimensions of altruism, constructive relations and democratic management approach positively affect the affective commitment of volunteers. Consequently, it can be said that the positive attitudes and behaviors of the meaning-making leaders play an important role in the affective commitment and loyalty of the volunteers to the NPOs.
