| Sumario: | Volunteers are subjects who participate in an organization without financial compensation, contributing to the improvement and advancement of a community. 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. |
