자원봉사활동이 사회적 자본 형성에 미치는 영향 -중고령층의 자원봉사자를 중심으로 -

This research analyzes voluntary activities on a macro level or as a means of utilizing social capital, whereas past studies in the field investigate on a microscopic level, such as study cases on individual satisfaction or voluntary activities as leisures. The research specifically focuses on the fact that senior citizens' participation on voluntary activities are related to social capital. Based on statistical analysis, the research presents the effect of senior citizens' voluntary activities on social capital formation. Results of regression analysis on the influence of the volunteer activities have significant impact in all categories. Impact is greater when the analysis was performed with participation frequency and interval as its independent variables, compared to when other factors were set as independent variables. In the multiple regression model, more positive perceptions are found on social network and personal trust as frequency and interval increases. When impact of the frequency and interval on social capital including personal trust, organizational trust, social network and norms of reciprocity is evaluated through the multiple regression model, it is the social network that both independent variables have positive and significant impact on.
