我们认为，志愿者对工作的依恋是由他们为工作带来的资源水平、他们从中获得的回报以及工作开展的环境决定的。我们用两波美国人改变生活小组研究（1986-1989）来检验这一理论。该理论的资源部分得到了支持：在两次浪潮中，受教育程度越高、正式和非正式社会互动频率越高、家里有孩子的人留在志愿劳动力大军中的可能性越大——最后一种影响对女性更强。在两次浪潮中，报告正常工作时间增加的受访者更有可能停止志愿服务。而功能能力的下降对依恋没有影响。该理论的奖励部分并没有得到一致的支持。第一波志愿工作的承诺（以志愿时间衡量）预示着第二波志愿工作的到来，但享受工作没有影响，对工作结果感到满意会减少依恋。与许多其他工作环境相比，第一波与教会相关的志愿活动是第二波志愿活动的最强预测因素。
We propose that volunteers' attachment to their work is determined by the level of resources they bring to it, the rewards they derive from it, and the context in which the work is carried out. We test this theory using two waves of the Americans' Changing Lives panel study (1986-1989). The resources part of the theory is supported: the likelihood of remaining in the volunteer labor force across the two waves is greater for the more highly educated, those who report higher rates of formal and informal social interaction, and those who have children in the household-the last effect is stronger for women. Respondents reporting an increase in regular working hours across the two waves are more likely to cease volunteering. However, declining functional ability has no effect on attachment. The reward parr of the theory is not consistently supported. Commitment to volunteer work in the first wave (measured by hours volunteered) predicts being a volunteer in the second, but enjoying the work has no effect, and being satisfied with the results of the work decreases attachment. Compared to a number of other work contexts, church-related volunteering in the first wave is the strongest predictor of being a volunteer in the second.
