Abstract
There are several versions of the volunteer management theory referenced in industry resources. Several organizations have developed organization-based systems designed to incorporate spontaneous volunteers. However, it can be difficult to find and recruit suitable candidates for volunteer organizations. Also, we still lack information on the process of crowdsourcing in volunteering perspective. This paper, we conduct a review of volunteering management systems and crowdsourcing approach. Based on the insights derived from this analysis, we identify some issues for future research. To solve this problem, we designed a framework for the crowdsourcing approach in volunteering system to automate the process of selection volunteers and match with the criteria of volunteers and tasks. Crowdsourcing is one of the best approaches to get more information and faster from the crowd and to be more precise with the requirement from beneficiaries. The implications of the findings for volunteering system are discussed, and future research directions suggested.
