Abstract

There has been increasing recognition over the last decade of the value of using mixed methods approaches to investigate complex social issues. In this paper we undertake a systematic literature review to explore the prevalence of mixed methods research approaches in volunteering research. We set out the underpinnings of mixed methods research. The review methodology, strategy and analysis processes are then presented, followed by the results and discussion. Limited studies were identified which applied mixed methods research. Possibilities for adopting these approaches in volunteering research are also canvassed.
