Answer 1

• 1.People often join an organization or committee because it meets their needs. That need may be for business, for friendship, for belonging or many other self-serving needs.  I have served on committees of professional organizations because I am able to meet with people who could use my services. Networking is an incredible opportunity and benefit of volunteering.
• The level of belief is the strongest level of commitment. When people volunteer because of their passion for a cause they actually believe in the cause, they have the strongest level of commitment.The true inner motivation and belief makes people volunteer to join certain committees.
• 2.Volunteers joining a cause,are intrinsically motivated rather than being motivated by money.When you believe in something and want to make a difference in the world without any ulterior motives then only you should a committee for a cause.
• Intrinsic motivation is more powerful than extrinsic motivation.Extrinsically motivated people perform actions because they want to acquire stuff or experiences; intrinsically motivated people perform actions because the actions are meaningful and enjoyable to them which applies mostly to volunteers who work for a cause.
