WORK MOTIVATION CONSTRUCTS AMONG BARANGAY DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT COUNCIL VOLUNTEERS

Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Committee (BDRRMC) volunteers play an essential role in
community safety and disaster preparedness, yet limited research has been conducted to understand what drives
their commitment and sustained engagement in this high-stakes field. Recognizing the need to support these
volunteers, this study seeks to identify the core motivators that encourage them to remain active in disaster
management efforts. The study is non-experimental quantitative design utilizing Exploratory Factor Analysis
(EFA) to uncover the primary motivational dimensions. Data were gathered from 150 BDRRMC volunteers
using a structured questionnaire. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) Measure of Sampling Adequacy and
Bartlett's Test of Sphericity were conducted to assess the suitability of the data for factor analysis.
The survey results identified four key dimensions of motivation among BDRRMC volunteers: Personal
Development and Achievement, Social and Career Development, Values and Purpose Alignment, and Gratitude
and Appreciation. These dimensions provide a framework for understanding and enhancing the factors that drive
volunteer engagement within BDRRMCs, offering practical insights for increasing volunteer retention and
motivation in community-based disaster management initiatives.
