dc.description.abstractThis study aims to examine the relationship between physiotherapists' levels of individual social responsibility, volunteer motivation, and life satisfaction. While there are limited studies that explore individual social responsibility alongside other variables, this research is unique in evaluating both volunteer motivation and life satisfaction. Data were collected through questionnaires sent to an email list of 5,000 physiotherapists in Turkey, resulting in 115 responses. Ethical approval for the study was granted, and the validity and reliability of the data collection tools were assessed. The study used the Individual Social Responsibility Scale,10 the Volunteer Motivation Inventory,11 which identifies reasons for volunteering, and the Life Satisfaction Scale.20 The results revealed several significant relationships between the sub-dimensions of individual social responsibility and volunteer motivation among physiotherapists, while no significant correlation was found between individual social responsibility and life satisfaction. Additionally, the findings indicated that younger physiotherapists, particularly those around the age of 24, place greater importance on social responsibility and volunteering, and consequently, report higher levels of life satisfaction compared to their older counterparts.
