Based on the self-determination theory (SDT), this study used a mixed-methods (i.e., quantitative and qualitative approaches) design to explore the role of basic psychological need satisfaction (BPNS) played in sustained volunteering. Quantitative analysis of 803 college student volunteers revealed that competence and relatedness need satisfaction had significant associations with sustained volunteering, while autonomy need satisfaction did not. Furthermore, latent profile analyses identified five profiles of BPNS: low (Profile 1), relatively low (Profile 2), moderate (Profile 3), low autonomy-high competence and relatedness (Profile 4), and high (Profile 5). Volunteers in Profile 4 and Profile 5 reported higher sustained volunteering than those in other profiles. Subsequent qualitative synthesis of interview data from 33 college student volunteers found that competence need satisfaction (45.58%) was mentioned most frequently among the factors promoting sustained volunteering, then followed by relatedness (27.43%) and autonomy need satisfaction (11.06%). These findings highlight the important role of BPNS, especially competence and relatedness need satisfaction, in promoting college students' long-term volunteering.
基于自我决定理论（SDT），本研究采用混合方法（即定量和定性方法）设计，探讨基本心理需求满足（BPNS）在持续志愿服务中的作用。对 803 名大学生志愿者的定量分析表明，能力和相关需求满足与持续志愿服务显著相关，而自主性需求满足则没有。此外，潜在剖面分析确定了 BPNS 的五个剖面：低（剖面 1）、相对低（剖面 2）、中等（剖面 3）、低自主性-高能力和相关（剖面 4）和高（剖面 5）。剖面 4 和剖面 5 的志愿者报告的持续志愿服务比其他剖面的志愿者更高。随后对 33 名大学生志愿者的访谈数据进行的定性综合分析发现，促进持续志愿服务的因素中，能力需求满足（45.58%）被提及最多，其次是相关需求（27.43%）和自主性需求满足（11.06%）。这些发现强调了 BPNS，特别是能力和相关需求满足，在促进大学生长期志愿服务中的重要作用。
