Özet:

 Although there are differences between genders in life satisfaction, our study focuses on the general life satisfaction of women, who constitute almost half of the worlds population and countries: In order to have a society with high average life satisfaction, there is a need to find meaningful ways that lead to high life satisfaction by focusing on the general life satisfaction of women. The main contribution of the study is to examine the positive effects of volunteering and philanthropic behaviors, which we see as a promising mediator of overall life satisfaction among women. This study predicts that the female hand reaching out to ensure social balance will not only mediate the strengthening of social ties, but also will positively affect general life satisfaction with the pleasure of doing something for ones country and human values: It is thought that the womans effort to be a virtuous pro-social actor in the family institution, which is the smallest social network, will reveal the volunteer potential in the entire family. The findings of the study in which we investigated whether there is a positive relationship between prosocial behavior and life satisfaction how that the income of volunteer women is a factor affecting their life satisfaction. However, it appears that the income of volunteer women does not have a significant effect on their volunteer motivation. There is a need to understand the initiation and maintenance of prosocial virtuous behaviors by women and to reveal the motivational forces behind sustainable volunteering.

 Yaşam doyumunda cinsiyetler arasında farklılıklar olmakla birlikte, çalışma, dünya nüfusunun ve ülkelerin neredeyse yarısını oluşturan kadınların genel yaşam doyumlarına odaklanmaktadır. Ortalama yaşam doyumu yüksek bir topluma sahip olmak için, kadınların da genel yaşam memnuniyetine odaklanarak, yüksek yaşam doyumuna götüren anlamlı yolları bulmaya ihtiyaç vardır. Çalışmanın ana katkısı, kadınlar arasındaki genel yaşam memnuniyetine umut vaat eden bir arabulucu olarak gördüğümüz, gönüllülük ve hayırseverlik davranışlarının olumlu etkilerini incelenmektir. Sosyal dengenin sağlanmasına uzanan kadın eli, toplumsal bağların güçlenmesine aracılık edeceği gibi, ülkesi ve insani değerler için bir şeyler yapmanın verdiği haz ile genel yaşam doyumunu da olumlu yönde etkileyeceğini, bu çalışmada öngörülmektedir. En küçük sosyal ağ olan aile kurumunda kadının, toplum yanlısı erdemli bir aktör olma gayreti, tüm ailede gönüllülük potansiyelini ortaya çıkartacağı düşünülmektedir. Prososyal davranış ve yaşam doyumu arasında pozitif bir ilişki olup olmadığının araştırıldığı çalışmanın bulguları göstermektedir ki, gönüllü kadınların gelirleri, yaşam doyumlarını etkileyen bir faktör olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Ancak gönüllü kadınların gelirlerinin, gönüllü motivasyonları üzerinde anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olmadığı görülmektedir. Toplum yanlısı erdemli davranışların kadınlarca başlatılması ve sürdürülmesini anlamaya, sürdürülebilir gönüllülüğün arkasındaki motivasyonel güçleri ortaya çıkarmaya ihtiyaç vardır.
