摘要：

This qualitative study centers around humanitarian and spiritual non-government organizations (H&S NGOs) of India, many of which are essentially driven by full-time volunteers. Semi-structured interviews of 22 full-time volunteers in a large and renowned H&S NGO helped us explore their volunteering journey, which moved through three phases of casual volunteering, fixed time volunteering, and finally full-time volunteering. Thematic analysis of the interviews led to different types of motivation in different phases. We used self-determination theory to understand their needs and found out that their decision of full-time volunteering was driven by relatedness needs, autonomy needs, and competence needs. These needs are thoroughly discussed using the lens of Indian ethos in volunteering traditions. Theoretical and practical implications are also discussed.
