In addition, the findings reveal that satisfaction (in Quality of Life) mediates the relationship between attitude, perceived behavioural control, social, career, and protective thus affecting episodic volunteers’ decisions about whether to volunteer. 2020-07 Thesis http://eprints.usm.my/54864/ http://eprints.usm.my/54864/1/KHAIRUN%20NAJIAH%20BINTI%20AHMAD%20-%20TESIS%20CUT.pdf application/pdf en public phd doctoral Universiti Sains Malaysia Pusat Pengajian Perumahan, Banggunan & Perancangan
