Abstract
Organizational research on volunteers has most often been concerned with profilingthe characteristics of the "ideal volunteer" for various volunteer activities. Whilethese studies lead to improvements in the organizational processes of volunteer recruiting and training, they do not illuminate the psychological processes whichunderlie organizational commitment among volunteer workers. This researchexamines the personality, job characteristics, and attitudinal antecedents of organizational commitment for volunteers. The findings indicated that job satisfaction,work autonomy, job involvement and feedback from the work itself were strong predictors of organizational commitment. These results are discussed relative to themanagement of volunteers.
