Öz

Purpose – The main purpose of this study is to first present the conceptual framework of volunteer management and volunteer management models in public administration and then to evaluate whether a universal volunteer management model is possible for effective volunteer management, based on research conducted in the field of volunteer management in the public sector.
Methodology – The literature review method was used in this article. Databases such as Google Scholar, Ebsco, Scopus, Web of Science were searched in both Turkish and English within the framework of the headings 'volunteers management in public sector', 'volunteers management in public administration', 'voluntary participation in public services'.
Findings – When studies on volunteer management in the public sector are examined, it is observed that the size of the institution, the dominant age of the volunteers, the dominant role played by volunteers in the organization, environmental factors, society characteristics, legal framework, volunteer management infrastructure, politics, institutional budget, level of citizen participation, and bureaucratic procedures are effective on effective volunteer management.
Conclusions – Various factors, such as institution size, are effective on the success of volunteer management in the public sector. In this context, for effective volunteer management, managers need to analyze and know their institutions well and, within this framework, transform and apply the universal model in accordance with their institutions.
