Abstract
Purpose: The primary purpose of this study is to explore the relationships among affective commitment, flow, and happiness for volunteers.
Methods: The affective organizational commitment, flow and happiness scales used in previous studies were revised and supplemented for this study. These instruments were applied to 178 volunteers. Data were collected from volunteers for selected 7 churches by using the convenience sampling technique in Seoul, Korea. The data were analyzed by frequency analysis, correlation analysis, confirmatory analysis, one-way ANOVA, and multiple regression by using SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 20.0 programs. The significant level of hypothesis verification is set-up as α=.05.
Results: Findings are as follows: First, flow subcomponents predicted affective commitment and happiness. Second, affective commitment predicted the perception of happiness. Third, frequency of volunteerism and age were found to be significantly related to flow subcomponents.
Conclusions: The findings in this study may provide a practical and theoretical framework for managing volunteers. The results are discussed within the framework of the volunteerism literature and various suggestions are offered.
