Summary/Abstract: In an attempt to outline a perspective on performance in volunteering, by detaching from the financial reward, a first step is to identify ways in which the retention of volunteers is achieved effectively. The organizational commitment is a determining factor of their desire to develop activities and relationships, therefore it will be analyzed before studying the results of the volunteers activity. This study, through a literature review, in addition to the detailed definition of terms, draws the following main implications: reducing retention problems through an effective planning system, this result being given by attentive and adequate training of volunteers; creating a psychological contract through the congruence between the expectations of the volunteers and the offer of the organization, through appropriate recruitment techniques, which diminish the subsequent intentions to leave it, along with formulating and promoting clear organizational objectives with which volunteers can identify helping them to develop a form of commitment.
