| description | A descriptive / comparative research is presented with the aim of knowing engagement levels in university volunteers and associative organizations volunteers’ groups. The Utrecht Work Engagement Scale was administered; it measures vigor, absorption and dedication scales and engagement levels. The sample of this research was intentional non-probabilistic, composed of (a) volunteers from the National University of Mar del Plata (UNMDP) participating during the last 4 years in extension and volunteering projects and (b) associative organizations volunteers from Mar del Plata. Basic descriptive were calculated and non-probabilistic statistics were applied to compare volunteering groups. Results show critical differences between sex in dedication and vigor, between training levels in vigor and engagement (total score). No critical levels were found between volunteering type, age and seniority as a volunteer. |

Se presenta una investigación descriptiva/comparativa que tiene como finalidad conocer niveles de engagement en voluntarios universitarios y voluntarios de organizaciones asociativas. Se administró el Utrecht Work Engagement Scale que mide las escalas vigor, absorción, dedicación y el nivel de engagement. La muestra de esta investigación fue intencional, no probabilística, compuesta por: (a) voluntarios de la Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata (UNMDP) que han participado en los últimos 4 años en proyectos de extensión y voluntariado universitario y (b) voluntarios de organizaciones asociativas de Mar del Plata. Fueron calculados descriptivos básicos y aplicados estadísticos no paramétricos con la finalidad de comparar grupos de voluntarios. Los resultados muestran diferencias críticas cuando se agrupa por sexo en dedicación y vigor, por nivel de instrucción/formación en vigor y engagement (puntaje total). No se encontraron niveles críticos agrupando por tipo de voluntariado, por edad ni por antigüedad como voluntario.
