##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abstract
Community development volunteers play a vital role in communities and nations to achieve sustainable development goals. The objective of this study was 1) to develop the causal relationship model of work passion among community development volunteers, and 2) to empirically validate the causal relationship model of work passion among community development volunteers. The sample consisted of 362 community development volunteers. Proportional stratified random sampling was used. Questionnaires were used to collect data, with Cronbach’s alpha coefficient between .92-.96. Data were analyzed by the structural equation modeling technique. The result showed that the proposed model fitted the empirical data. Meaningful work and quality of work life had a direct effect on work passion among community development volunteers, whereas work atmosphere had an indirect effect on work passion among community development volunteers via quality of work life. In addition, work atmosphere also had a direct effect on quality of work life. The implications of this research proposed a policy to enhance the quality of work life and create training programs to increase the level of work passion among community development volunteers.
