Abstract

This study delves into the relationship between volunteer motivations among 111 students and the core values of ecological spirituality and volunteerism. Through a survey and thematic analysis, a connection emerges between the students’ motivations for volunteering and the foundational principles of ecological spirituality and volunteerism. Notably, motivations such as personal fulfillment, positive impact creation, and a sense of duty to others resonate with the principles of service, compassion, unity, interconnectedness, gratitude, personal growth, and the well-being of fellow beings. These findings underscore the role played by ecological spirituality and volunteerism in shaping the students’ decision to engage in volunteer activities, illuminating how these values contribute to their sense of fulfillment and satisfaction in community service. Additionally, this study evaluates the students’ contentment with their motivations, revealing an overall satisfaction rate of 83.78%, thus emphasizing the impact of embracing ecological spirituality in volunteerism on their satisfaction levels.
