Numerous studies in this area have looked at the organizational commitment of employees and there is lack of empirical research regarding organizational commitment of volunteers especially college student volunteers. This study aims to investigating the relationship between motivation and organizational commitment among college student volunteers. A quantitative correlation research method was used to collect data. A self-administered questionnaire comprised of a demographic, an adaptation of Volunteer Function Inventory (VFI) and Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ) was administered to 350 samples from four public universities in Peninsular Malaysia.
