Both SACO and STAPL were associated with occupational quality of life among animal welfare volunteers, so their use may help improving both research and supervision of volunteers.

SACO measures two aspects of organisational support: communication (i.e. if the volunteers feel heard and can take part of decision making) & perceived resources (i.e. if volunteers feel that they are prepared and backed to deliver their labour)

STAPL focuses on friends and relatives' support. As you may imagine, general support may not match the support shown towards animal care labour (it is, they may help you in general, but not in this). Having and adapted tool may provide deeper insight on this gap.

You can also complete the interactive evaluations, if you are volunteering or managing animal welfare organizations. If you provide an email, you get the results by mail.
We hope that it is of use!

We had some problems with the links, so we uploaded them to Zenodo:

Materials for volunteers: zenodo.org/records/1587...

Materials for managers:
zenodo.org/records/1587...

All of them are available without cost

The result is so funny that I do not discard to print some T-shirt with the picture. It could also serve as a cover for an human-animal studies special issue, something like "animals in El Bosco's paintings" 😂🎨🧑‍🎨 #disturbing #ElPradoMuseum #HieronymusBosch

Beyond human-animal bond, perhaps we should foster more intense computer-animal interactions... because AI seems to know really little about animals! Look at the picture! Cow or horse? Dog or pig? No surprise the dogs seem to be concerned... 😅

We have a question for future studies: should we consider the seek of prestige as a continuous variable (the more you seek prestige, the more you like Pedigree companions)? Or should we consider that "prestige seekers" are a profile, a separate category?

Perhaps we should dive on this!
