中文摘要 本研究主要是探討中高齡人口不從事志願服務的原因，及將來從事志工的可能性。研究對象為居住在新北市55歲以上、目前沒有從事志工的人口，共計回收有效問卷715份，包含145份曾經擔任過志工和570份從未擔任過志工。研究結果顯示，影響中高齡人口從事志願服務的因素包括時間、家庭和健康因素，健康因素是影響中高齡人口加入（或繼續）從事志工的基本要素，家庭因素則可能是不從事服務的藉口，時間因素會促使人們加入志願服務行列，也會導致人們中斷服務工作。若比較不同人口群的差異情形，從未擔任志工者較強調興趣因素，曾經是志工者較重視獎勵因素，因而提高人們的興趣有助於加入志願服務工作，給予必要的獎勵措施則有利於志工的留任，研究者據此提出結論和建議。

A Study on Why the Middle-Aged Population is Not Engaging in Volunteer Work
Shih, Y., Lin, P.-C., Kuo, W.-W.
English Abstract This study explores the reasons why the middle-aged population is unwilling to volunteer and the possibility of their volunteering in the future. Data was collected from the population of over 55 years old living in New Taipei City and currently not engaged in volunteer work. A total of 715 valid questionnaires were collected from 145 former volunteers and 570 who had never volunteered. The results of the study show that factors affecting volunteering in middle-aged populations include time, family and health factors. Health factors form the basic reason affecting participation (or continued participation) in volunteering. Family factors may be an excuse for not volunteering. Time factors may motivate people to volunteer; they may also cause people to interrupt their volunteer work. The differences between the two populations were that those who had never volunteered emphasized the interest factor, and the former volunteers paid more attention to the reward factor. Therefore, raising people’s interest in volunteering will help to encourage them to do so, and giving necessary incentives will help volunteers to stay.Keywords：middle-aged population, volunteer, self-determination theory
