Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to measure the mediating role of Value Congruence in the relationship between motivation and organizational commitment in non-profit sport organizations. An e-mail sur-vey was conducted with a sample of 223 volunteers in 12 non-profit sport organi-zations in a Jiangxi Province of China. Findings supported the partial mediation role of Value Congruence. The values factor of motivation had a significant direct impact on organizational commit-ment, and value congruence partially me-diated the relationship between values and organizational commitment. The study contributes to the understanding of volunteers’ motivation and how it influ-ences commitment toward non-profit sport organizations.
