Scientific Study from the year 2011 in the subject Tourism, grade: 2,3, , language: English, abstract: This paper discusses the problem of volunteering whether it is an intrinsic motivation or just cv building. The paper should answer the question whether volunteering is just a positive thing for the curriculum vitae or an intrinsic motivation, and which are the real motivations for doing volunteer work. Furthermore it should be analyzed the dif-ferences in gender, the fact of doing volunteer work and the motivation and the link between volunteering and may cv building. Two Scenarios are presented and dis-cussed by linking two theories. The theory of intrinsic and extrinsic needs and the theory of the new tourism by Poon. The literature review discloses that the different motivation have been developed over time. Three empirical hypotheses should be answered by using desk research and a survey. The hypothesis could not be con-firmed because there are almost no differences between the gender and the different motivations. Especially females were examined in the empirical hypothesis because of the abolition of the military service.
