The analysis of their motivations is of interest in Psychology; however, there is no local instrument to evaluate them. The aim of this study was to adapt the Volunteer Functions Inventory (VFI). A sample of 249 volunteers for non-governmental organizations from different provinces was studied. Data was collected through a sociodemographic survey and the VFI. An exploratory factorial analysis was performed using the Minimum Rank Factor Analysis estimator with Direct Oblimin rotation. A three-dimension factorial structure (social and career, improvement andprotection, values and comprehension) was obtained, which explained 54.76 % of the variance. Internal consistency was adequate (α = .89/.94). In conclusion, professionals and researchers are provided with an adaptation of the VFI to the local population, with favorable evidences of validity and reliability. Los voluntarios son sujetos que participan en una organización sin retribución económica, colaborando con la mejora y el avance de una comunidad. El análisis de sus motivaciones resulta de interés en la psicología, pero no se dispone de un instrumento local para evaluarlas. El objetivo de este estudio fue adaptar el Inventario de Funciones del Voluntariado (VFI). Se trabajó con 249 voluntarios de organizaciones no gubernamentales de diferentes provincias. Se recolectaron datos con una encuesta sociodemográfica y el VFI. Mediante un análisis factorial exploratorio utilizando el estimador minimum rank factor analysis con rotación oblimin directa, se aisló una estructura factorial de tres dimensiones (social y carrera, mejora y protección, valores y comprensión) que explicaban el 54.76 % de la varianza. La consistencia interna fue adecuada (α = .89/ .94). Como conclusión, se proporciona a profesionales e investigadores la adaptación del VFI a la población local, aportando evidencias de validez y confiabilidad. Facultad de Psicología.
