Abstract

The study aims to know the strategies used by the cooperatives in maintaining the commitment of its members in times of pandemic. The researchers used the qualitative method by conducting interviews to qualified key and secondary informants from the five (5) community-based multi-purpose cooperatives in Quezon City. Results reveal that there are five (5) reasons why members display commitment in the cooperative, to wit: the benefits and rewards received from the organization; the trust established in the cooperatives, the fellowship enjoined by the members; the affirmation towards the members and the well-defined purpose of the organization, the study also highlighted the important role played by the coop leaders in addressing the concerns of its members during the crisis.
