Motivations which encourage college students to join social service clubs and voluntary activities are ‘Learn-growth and Development’, ‘Helping society’, ‘Achieving Dreams’, and ‘Building Relationships.’ 2.

Motivations of ‘Learn-growth’ and ‘Helping society’, ‘Features of Activities’ and ‘External Factors’ show significant prediction power in satisfaction of ‘Learn and Development’ of service jobs. Motivations of ‘Learn-growth’, ‘Helping Society’ and ‘Achieving Dreams’ and ‘Special Influential Factors’ in activity establish significant prediction power in satisfaction of ‘Achievement and Challenge’.
