從認真休閒的觀點探討志工參與之社會認同

本研究主要探討認真休閒之志工投入志願服務的參與動機、歷程及收穫、參與後的體驗及個人成長與改變，並研究認真休閒之志工在社會上有著志工身份對其本身有何影響。並以八卦山脈遊客服務中心之志工為對象，採半結構式的深度訪談及參與觀察法進行資料蒐集，最後將所獲得的資料以紮根理論分析、歸納，最後獲得三個核心類別（社會交換、角色扮演以及認真休閒）是由十個選擇編碼的概念所呈現出來的，並且在最終的聚焦過程中獲得了本研究的核心命題：認同。本研究所呈現出來的認同，指的是認真休閒志工者，在透過和社會互動的情況下，不斷的調整自我在社會上角色的扮演，並且在經過長時間與社會的互動，獲得了學習的機會與成長，在這些過程中他們肯定了自我的價值，進而認同自己。由於志工本身在社會上是屬於較具有良好的形象角色，因此，志工們也認為可以成為志工的一份子是一件榮譽的事情，所以他們願意長期的投入在志願服務上，這樣不僅可以尋求自我滿足之外，更能受到社會大眾的肯定進而獲得社會認同。
