OBJECTIVE
To understand the relationship between volunteering and health in the overlooked yet highly engaged working population, adopting a contextualizing balance approach. We hypothesize that volunteering may function as a psychosocial resource, contributing to work-life balance and, ultimately, health.
METHODS
A total of 746 Swiss workers participated in an online survey; 35% (N = 264) were additionally volunteers in a nonprofit organization. We assessed volunteering, work-life balance perceptions, paid job demands, and resources and health outcomes.
RESULTS
After controlling for job characteristics, volunteering was associated with less work-life conflict, burnout and stress, and better positive mental health. Results further revealed that balance perceptions partly explained the relationship between volunteering and health.
CONCLUSIONS
Volunteering, albeit energy and time-consuming, may contribute to a greater sense of balance for people in the workforce, which might, in turn, positively influence health.
目的
采用情境化平衡方法，了解被忽视但参与度高的工作人群中志愿服务与健康之间的关系。我们假设志愿服务可能作为一种社会心理资源，有助于实现工作与生活的平衡，并最终促进健康。
方法
共有746名瑞士工人参与了一项在线调查；其中35%（N = 264）还在非营利组织中担任志愿者。我们评估了志愿服务、工作与生活平衡认知、有偿工作需求、资源以及健康结果。
结果
在控制工作特征后，志愿服务与较少的工作与生活冲突、倦怠和压力以及更好的积极心理健康状况相关。结果还进一步表明，平衡认知部分解释了志愿服务与健康之间的关系。
结论
志愿服务虽然耗费精力和时间，但可能有助于在职人员获得更强的平衡感，进而可能对健康产生积极影响。
