| Summary: | 碩士 === 輔仁大學 === 非營利組織管理碩士學位學程在職專班 === 103 === To research the relationship between organizational commitment and motivation to participate in volunteer service, this study recruited volunteers in the Liver Disease Prevention and Treatment Research Foundation, quantitatively analyzing the volunteers’ characteristics, participation motivation, and organizational commitment. It is hoped that our findings may serve as a reference for theories about volunteer service in non-profit organizations, and as practical suggestions on volunteer management for the foundation. Data in this study were collected by means of a questionnaire and analyzed by performing descriptive statistics, the independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance, the correlation analysis, and the regression analysis. The results are as follows. In the difference analysis, organizational commitment was higher for subjects over 65 than that for those under 65, for those married than that for those unmarried, and for those with a high school diploma or less than that for those with a college degree or more; besides, participation motivation was higher for those over 65 than that for those under 65. In the correlation analysis, organization commitment was highly correlated with personal development and with intention to stay, and participation motivation was highly correlated with social service and with interpersonal interaction. In the regression analysis, organizational identification and value identification significantly influenced intention to stay. To conclude, we suggest that the foundation promote volunteers’ personal development through group activities such as lectures and training courses. With personal development linked to intention to stay, they would willingly stay to volunteer in the foundation. We also recommend encouraging social service by telling them benefits of volunteering like mental satisfaction or personal development, and stimulating interpersonal interaction linked to social service to improve their motivation by holding group activities or emotional exchange, so that their intention to stay would be influenced by the increasing organizational identification and value identification.
