The instrument of measurement used in this study was a self-made questionnaire entitled “ The Effects of Time Management, Interpersonal Relationships and Leisure Benefits on Volunteers` Participation”. A total of 580 school volunteers were given the questionnaire to answer and there were a total of 497 effective respondents. The valid rate was 85%. The data collected from questionnaires were analyzed and hypotheses were tested through descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, product-moment correlation and regression analysis. Results of this study were summarized as follows: 1. The background of school volunteers had a similar and centralized tendency. 2. In “Time Management” aspect, school volunteers who gave service to school over 4 times per week scored obviously higher than those who gave service 2 times per week. No significant difference was found in other aspects. 3. In “Interpersonal Relationships” aspect, female volunteers scored higher than male ones; volunteers aged over 51 scored higher than those aged between 31-40 and between 41-50; married volunteers scored higher than unmarried ones; volunteers who served over 4 times per week scored higher than those who served 1 time or 2 times per week; counseling volunteers scored higher than other kinds of volunteers; volunteers who had served over 7 years scored higher than those who just had served just under 3 years. No significant difference was found in other aspects. 4. In “leisure Benefits” aspect, over 51 year-old volunteers scored higher than those in other age categories; married volunteers scored higher than unmarried; volunteers who had no child enrolled in school scored higher than those who had any child in school; volunteers serving over 4 time per week in school scored higher than those only 1 time per week; volunteers who had served over 7 years scored higher than those who just had served just under 3 years. No significant difference was found in other aspects. 5. In “Volunteers’ Participation” aspect, over 51 year-old volunteers scored higher than those in other age categories; volunteers serving over 4 times per week in school scored higher than those only 1 time or 2 times per week; volunteers serving over 5 hours per week scored higher than those under 2 hours per week; volunteers who had served over 7 years scored higher than those who just had served just under 3 years. No significant difference was found in other aspects. 6. There was a close correlation between school volunteers’ time management, interpersonal relationships and leisure benefits on volunteers` participation. 7. Among all, the most predictive and significant factors were “Public Relation benefits”, “the Use of Auxiliary Means”, “Relationship with Friends”, “Physiological Benefits”, “Time Management Cognition”, “Relationship with Associates”, “Relationship with Family Members”. Finally, the results of this study provided some suggestions about volunteers` recruitment. In addition, some ideas for further study were also proposed for follow-up researchers` references in this concern.
