Abstract/Summary

This descriptive qualitative study focused on understanding the local non-profit workers’ motivations and values, and how they identified themselves with their organizations. A total of ten (10) participants from six (6) diverse local non-profit organizations in the Philippines were interviewed for this study. All interviewees were qualified based on set standards for tenure, experience and achievements — key points used for quantitative measures of this paper. Based on the analysis, the following motivations emerged: (a) sense of contribution, (b) opportunity, (c) safety, and (d) recognition; while the prevalent values affecting their commitment were: (a) service advocacy, (b) sustainable giving, (c) belongingness, and (d) reputation. The concept that emerged from the study was the interaction between values and motivation, where motivation validated or affirmed the values.
