Abstract: The principal objective of this article was to determine how volunteers’ activities are influenced by the expressed recognition of and reward for their contributions. Data were gathered from 248 volunteer centers throughout the Republic of Korea, and a total of 705 cases were analyzed. The analysis results reveal that “occasional” recognition can prove more helpful in maintaining the satisfaction with and continuity of volunteer activities than “absent” or “excessive” recognition. Our findings in this regard help to explain the observation that volunteers’ satisfaction and continuity are not driven strictly by external recognition and rewards.
