[[alternative]]A Proactive Study of Applying 51 Mental Associates of the One Hundred Dharmas in the Buddhist NPO Volunteers

[[abstract]] 綜觀現今台灣非營利組織的日益增加，相對地宗教團體承擔了大部分的社會福利公益事業，以及大量志工的投入，僅僅以「國際佛光會」一個團體，就有義(志)工百萬人員分佈在全球各地，可見關注於志願服務及非營利事務，如此蓬勃發展，已經成為世界性的趨勢。 佛教本身具有化世與益人的功能，因此，本研究以佛教百法明門論作為探討，其主旨如何利樂一切有情眾生和離苦得樂的精神，針對佛教非營利志工人員之激勵，分別從三個面向：1.認識自我－激勵發揮個人才能之所長。2.超越自我－激勵身心通達與抗壓能力。3.奉獻無我－激勵完成目標與永續使命。分析其能力、生理、心理三種層次，尋求有效對治困境的方法，達到組織所交付的任務與使命。 本研究採用文獻分析法、內容分析法、具體實踐法，嘗試整合出一套激勵志工的措施方法，並藉此提供其他非營利事業團體，規劃激勵志工人員教育參考的雛型。最後結論並給予具體建議，分別如下：一、提供給廣大NPO的建議：從宗教中具有NPO精神內涵以及慈悲濟世，博愛的胸懷，思考不同角度的軸心和運用其理論與實踐。二、對NPO管理人的建議：為了組織整體的成長與發展，建立長期的激勵制度，規劃教育相關的課程。以及成立心靈交流談話室，真正深入了解每一位志工來到組織的需求和心態。三、對投入佛教NPO志工的建議：秉持無緣大慈和同體大悲的精神，事事心存感恩，不求回報的理念，有別於其他非營利組織的志工，樹立一種截然不同志工的典範與榜樣。四、對佛教NPO研究者的建議：對於佛法經典中所蘊藏NPO的思想理論和精神涵養，譬如有：佛教的財富觀、佛教環保的概念、佛教與經濟、佛教與社會公益、佛教的醫療觀、佛教的對治煩惱與淨化人心等等。如此大量豐富的資源與教材，期望能提供給後續研究者，深究佛教經典與NPO其關聯性的互涉，並發揚光大。[[abstract]] Buddhism has the practical ability to change and enefit human beings. In this study, we try to use the Treatise of the One Hundred Dharmas, which emphasized on the ways to benefit and liberate sentient beings, as a guide to otivate Buddhist volunteers of non-profit organizations (NPO). The motivational system can be classified into three aspects: 1) understanding oneself; 2) transcending oneself; 3)offering altruistic service. By analyzing the intellectual, physical and psychological aspects of each volunteer, one can find an effective solution to overcome any obstacles, and NPO can then enable the volunteers to accomplish their missions and objectives entrusted upon them. Using both qualitative and quantitative analyses in a practical approach, we attempt to develop a system for motivating volunteers that can be used by other NPOs. Some suggestions are listed below:1)For NPO: Borrowing from religious philosophy or viewpoints, which encompasses the philosophy of NPO, compassion, philanthropy and universal love, NPO should explore different possibilities of incorporating such philosophy into the organization and adapting the philosophy. 2)For the managers/leaders of the NPO: For the growth and development of the organization as a whole, it is important to establish a long-term motivational system and plan educational courses for the members. 3)For the volunteers of NPO: In accordance with the spirits of universal compassion and unconditional love, the volunteers of NPO should always be grateful and expect nothing in return for their services
